This 3-year research strategic proposal is concerned with the research and development of millimetre-wave(mmW) highly integrated transceivers at 60 GHz using the applicant's pioneered concept of substrate integratedcircuit (SIC) for a wide range of broadband wireless applications. Research activities consist of theinvestigation and design of innovative components and antennas using two basic SIC structures, namely,substrate integrated waveguide and substrate integrated dielectric image guide. A low-cost micro-fabricationtechnique called photoimageable process is deployed for the first time in Canada, and it is used to developdual-antenna conventional and six-port substrate integrated transceivers with multi-chip module techniques.This research allows the applicant to lead international efforts in searching for future highly integrated mmWtransceiver architectures for broadband communication systems and sensing applications. The research isconducted for discovering new electrical features, new design rules, and new application areas of the SICsconcept, which involves theoretical and experimental aspects in connection with structure modeling, circuitdesign, experimental prototyping and system characterization. This project will provide a worldwide leadershipin the development of future high-density and mass-producible mmW and terahertz circuits and systems withadvanced processing techniques and innovative design platforms. This unique Canadian mmW engineeringresearch is made possible with highly original approaches developed at the Poly-Grames Research Center. Theproject focuses on the emerging industrial needs of mmW-based information and communication technologiesand timely addresses worldwide challenges in competitive mmW and terahertz research. The strategic researchattracts, involves and trains numerous highly qualified personnel to answer the pressing manpower needs ofICT industries for broadband system development. It also creates unprecedented research and developmentopportunities for wireless sensor networks. Research expertise and knowledge generated by this program notonly stimulates corporate growth of the project partners but also spins out new business identities in Canada.
