The telecommunications sector has been one of the fastest growing sectors in the past decade. This trend has been fueled by an unprecedented growth in the number of new applications in wireless communications and the expansion of existing ones. With rapid growth, managing the capacity and quality of the wireless air interface becomes a challenge. Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio is emerging as an innovative solution for the increase demand for short-range low cost reduced-power wireless devices with video transfer capability within home and office environments. The primary objective of the proposed research program is to address the above requirements and playing a leading role in the development of innovative solutions with focus on two innovations. First, to study, design and implement novel UWB low profile antennas that satisfy UWB technology requirement. Research in this area will focus on theoretical and experimental studies to overcome many challenges for discovering new design rules, new innovative antennas, and new application areas. To meet wireless industry requirements for small size antennas in handheld devices, our efforts also include miniaturization process that compromises between the size and performance of the antenna. Second, we investigate the basis for the design of new Electromagnetic Band Pass (EBP) dielectric waveguide-based antennas and microwave devices. EBP periodic structures allow energy to propagate with certain properties to form low cost, high performance and fully integrated circuits, antennas, and systems for emerging wireless telecommunications and microwave imaging applications. We will investigate EBP pass band characteristics as opposed to their stop band or band gap characteristics and develop EBP-based novel devices for a broad range of emerging applications. Trainees involved in this program will gain advanced knowledge area expertise and technical competency in wireless systems related areas. The developed technologies integrated with intelligent networks have the potential to offer businesses and consumers greater control over communications environment resulting in increasing productivity and improving the efficiency and quality of services.

在过去十年中，电信部门一直是增长最快的部门之一。无线通信中新应用的数量和现有应用的扩展前所未有地增长，推动了这一趋势。随着快速增长，管理无线空中接口的容量和质量成为一项挑战。超宽带(UWB)无线电正在作为一种创新的解决方案出现，以满足家庭和办公室环境中对具有视频传输功能的短距离、低成本、低功耗无线设备的日益增长的需求。拟议研究计划的主要目标是满足上述要求，并在创新解决方案的开发中发挥主导作用，重点放在两项创新上。首先，研究、设计和实现满足超宽带技术要求的新型超宽带低轮廓天线。这一领域的研究将集中在理论和实验研究上，以克服发现新的设计规则、新的创新天线和新的应用领域的许多挑战。为了满足无线行业对手持设备中小尺寸天线的要求，我们的努力还包括在天线大小和性能之间进行折衷的小型化工艺。其次，我们研究了新型电磁带通(EBP)介质波导天线和微波器件的设计基础。EBP周期性结构允许能量以特定的性质传播，以形成低成本、高性能和完全集成的电路、天线和系统，用于新兴的无线电信和微波成像应用。我们将研究EBP的通带特性，而不是它们的阻带或带隙特性，并开发基于EBP的新型器件，用于广泛的新兴应用。参与该项目的学员将获得无线系统相关领域的高级知识、专业知识和技术能力。已开发的与智能网络相结合的技术有可能为企业和消费者提供对通信环境的更大控制，从而提高生产率和改善服务的效率和质量。
