Workshop: Recent Advances and Future Research Directions in RF Technologies from MHz to THz; Honolulu, Hawaii, June 8th, 2017.

IEEE国际微波研讨会由IEEE微波理论与技术学会主办，是一年一度的旗舰会议，涵盖从兆赫(MHz)到太赫兹(THz)的通信和传感射频技术，包括微波和毫米波。这个拟议的研讨会将是2017年6月4日至6月9日在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁举行的2017年IEEE国际微波研讨会的一部分。研讨会将回顾从MHz到THz的射频通信和传感技术的最新进展，并讨论这些技术的未来研究挑战和应用。射频技术是无线和有线通信系统和网络的关键要素，对美国宽带通信基础设施、卫星通信和全球定位系统(GPS)以及军用雷达和通信设备至关重要。此外，射频技术还被积极地用于传感和医疗应用。随着工作在MHz范围内的磁共振成像(MRI)的广泛应用，新的毫米波和太赫兹医学成像技术也在不断发展。根据会议历史，各种技术会议的技术项目参与者约有3000人。作为会议计划的一部分，此次研讨会预计将吸引100名与会者参加。研讨会将首先介绍NSF电气、通信和网络系统(ECCS)部门的通信、电路和传感系统(CCSS)计划，并包括最近获得CCSS计划的NSF获奖者的五个特邀演讲。国家科学基金会的赠款将提供车间费用的支持。这次研讨会的演讲和讨论将促进思想的交流和研究合作，并导致未来的创新和经济增长，以造福我们的国家。

The IEEE International Microwave Symposium, sponsored by IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, is the annual flagship conference covering radio frequency (RF) technologies for communications and sensing from megahertz (MHz) to terahertz (THz) including microwave and millimeter-wave. This proposed workshop will be part of the 2017 IEEE International Microwave Symposium in Honolulu, Hawaii from June 4 to June 9, 2017. The workshop will review recent advances in RF communication and sensing technologies from MHz to THz, and discuss future research challenges and applications of these technologies. RF technologies are key elements of both wireless and wireline communication systems and networks, and are critical to the United States broadband communications infrastructures, satellite communications and Global Positioning System (GPS), as well as military radar and communication equipment. In addition, RF technologies are actively used for sensing and medical applications. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) operating in MHz range has been widely used, new millimeter-wave and THz medical imaging technologies are being developed. Based on the conference history, there are about 3,000 technical program attendees in various technical sessions. As part of the conference program, this workshop is expected to draw 100 participants from conference attendees. The workshop will start with the introduction of Communications, Circuits, and Sensing Systems (CCSS) programs in NSF Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems (ECCS) Division, and include five invited presentations by recent NSF awardees in CCSS programs. The NSF grant will provide the support of workshop expenses. The presentations and discussions in this workshop will stimulate the exchange of ideas and research collaborations, and lead to future innovations and economic growth to benefit our nation.
