Innovative electromagnetic (RF, mm/THz and Optical) wave processing structures have become a critical subsystem in future generations of high performance, intelligent and reconfigurable radio/sensor system and networks. Integration of low profile radiating elements with compact and highly integrated multi-standard circuit packages, with minimum spurious emission, susceptibility, and harmful interaction with the critical parts of the circuit, has become an extremely challenging task in many new product development plans. Integrated antenna design and diagnosis, design and development of radiation resistant package/enclosure, analysis and characterization of interaction between the radiating elements and package, propagation modelling in novel integrated optical guides are among the most complex electromagnetic problems. Desire for the convergence of electronics and optics, leading to the silicon-photonics technology, provides another challenging task for the EM modelling research. The current proposal continues to build on our past successes in this field of research to address the latest foundational aspects of the challenging tasks outlined above.
