returned value is undefined in protractor

when i click a link in our angular page,it open's a new tab. In that I need to compare the heading and few texts. below are the my code snippets.

this.getSupportPageTitle = async function(){
        browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;
        await browser.getAllWindowHandles().then(async function(handles){
            await browser.switchTo().window(handles[1]).then(async function(){
                console.log('focus switched to new Tab');
                var title = await actions.getElementText(element(supportPageDiscription),'check support page title');
                console.log('title : ' +title);
                return title;
            });
        });       
    };

and have a spec 

it('Display Support Page',async function(){
      browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;
      var supportPageTitle = await manageSupportPage.getSupportPageTitle();
      if (await manageSupportPage.getSupportPageTitle()){
        console.log('true');
      }
      else{
        console.log('false');
      }
      console.log('Title from page :' +supportPageTitle);
      await expect(supportPageTitle).toEqual(expected_result.expectedSupportPageDiscription);
    });

In page, i can print the title.But when it returns to spec it saying undefind. Any help can be appreciated. Thank you.

Because you missed return for the function. And you can write your function body as Sync programming as following with using async/await:

this.getSupportPageTitle = async function(){
    browser.ignoreSynchronization = true;
    var handles = await browser.getAllWindowHandles();

    await browser.switchTo().window(handles[1]);
    console.log('focus switched to new Tab');

    var title = await actions.getElementText(element(supportPageDiscription),'check support page title');
    console.log('title : ' +title);

    return title;
};
