On Oct. 28, 2020, awarding ceremony of Gasgoo Awards 2020 organized by Gasgoo.com was held in Shanghai. With expert review and millions of votes in 90 days, the Awards including Influential Figure 2020 had finally come to a completion.

To award his dedication to R&D, branding and quality, and outstanding contribution to the automotive industry and society at large, Dr Chen Jiashu, CEO of Calterah Semiconductor, was honored with Influential Figure 2020 of Gasgoo Awards.

Dr Chen earned his PhD degree in Electric Engineering from University of California, Berkeley. As a PhD candidate, Mr Chen worked in Berkeley Wireless Research Center and did some leading research in CMOS RF and mmWave integrated circuits, contributing significantly to the design theory of mmWave circuits, architecture of phased-array transceivers, and power amplifier design.

In 2014, Dr Chen came back to China and established Calterah Semiconductor. Under his leadership, Calterah in 2017 mass-produced world’s first CMOS 77/79-GHz mmWave RF front-end radar-on-chip for automotive use, and soon took the lead to break into the automotive original market. In 2019, Calterah rolled out radar SoC with integrated baseband, bringing revolutionary progress to mmWave radar sensor development.

“Our mission is to become the world’s best in our segmented area. We hope our mmWave radar technology can make the life of the whole society and even mankind easier. By using advanced CMOS technology to revolutionize mmWave radar sensors, we make them affordable to ordinary people and accessible to every vehicle. Surely, widespread use of the sensors and intelligent driving systems will make us safer on the roads.” said Dr Chen.
