Advanced antennas for wireless communication systems at millimeter-wave bands

提出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段操作，用于未来几代毫米波无线通信。本研究计划集中于三个相关项目：毫米波介质谐振器天线、电磁带隙(EBG)材料及其在灵活的多频段EBG天线设计中的应用，以及波束形成天线阵系统。(I)我将继续开展工作在毫米波频段的高增益和宽带介质谐振器天线的理论和实验研究，包括使用新的介质材料和新架构的天线设计、建模和开发；(Ii)我将继续研究使用新材料如EBG结构或超材料等可重构辐射方向图的敏捷天线，我们还将把这一概念扩展到双频和多频敏捷EBG天线，以便同时服务于不同频段的不同系统；以及(Iii)我还建议开展理论和实验研究，以开发适用于毫米波频段无线应用的新型波束形成天线阵系统。在这项研究计划中，我打算利用我以前成功的工作，继续在为毫米波无线应用设计新的先进天线方面出类拔萃。

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.
