Advanced antennas for wireless communication systems at millimeter-wave bands

拟议的研究计划的目标是研究和设计创新的先进天线，以实现高增益，可重构的辐射方向图能力和多频带操作，为未来几代无线通信在毫米波段。该研究计划侧重于三个相互关联的项目：毫米波介质谐振器天线，电磁带隙（EBG）材料及其在多频段操作的敏捷EBG天线设计中的应用，以及波束成形天线阵列系统。(i)我将从事毫米波段高增益和宽带介质谐振器天线的理论和实验研究，该主题包括使用新介质材料和新架构的天线设计，建模和开发，ii）我将继续研究使用EBG结构或超材料等新材料的可重构辐射方向图的敏捷天线，我们还希望将这一概念扩展到双波段和多波段捷变EBG天线，以便同时服务于不同频带的不同系统，以及（iii）我还提议进行理论和实验研究，以开发用于毫米波段无线应用的新波束成形天线阵列系统。 在这个研究项目中，我打算利用我以前成功的工作，并继续在设计毫米波无线应用的新的先进天线方面表现出色。

The objective of the proposed research program is to investigate and design innovative advanced antennas to achieve a high gain, reconfigurable radiation pattern capability and multi-band operation for future generations of wireless communications at millimeter-wave bands. This research program focuses on tree inter-related projects: millimeter-wave dielectric resonator antennas, electromagnetic band gap (EBG) materials and their applications in the design of agile EBG antennas with multi-band operation, and beamforming antenna array systems. (i) I will pursue the theoretical and experimental studies of high-gain and broadband dielectric resonator antennas operating in millimeter-wave bands, this topic includes antenna design, modeling and development using new dielectric materials and new architectures, ii) I will continue to investigate agile antennas with reconfigurable radiation pattern using new materials such as EBG structures or metamaterials, and we also expect to extend this concept to dual- and multi- band agile EBG antennas in order to simultaneously serve different systems at different frequency bands, and (iii) I also propose to perform theoretical and experimental investigations for developing new beamforming antenna array systems for wireless applications at millimeter-wave bands. In this research program, I intend to capitalize on my previously successful work and continue to excel in designing new advanced antennas for millimeter-wave wireless applications.
