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.

电信部门是过去十年中增长最快的部门之一。无线通信中新应用数量的空前增长和现有应用的扩展推动了这一趋势。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）无线电正在成为一种创新的解决方案，以满足家庭和办公室环境中对具有视频传输能力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，并在开发创新解决方案方面发挥主导作用，重点是两项创新。首先，研究、设计和实现满足UWB技术要求的新型UWB低剖面天线。该领域的研究将侧重于理论和实验研究，以克服许多挑战，发现新的设计规则，新的创新天线和新的应用领域。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的尺寸和性能之间进行折衷的小型化过程。其次，我们研究了新的电磁带通（EBP）介质波导为基础的天线和微波器件的设计基础。EBP周期性结构允许能量以某些性质传播，以形成用于新兴无线电信和微波成像应用的低成本、高性能和完全集成的电路、天线和系统。我们将研究EBP通带特性，而不是他们的阻带或带隙特性，并开发EBP为基础的新设备的广泛的新兴应用。参与该计划的学员将获得先进的知识领域的专业知识和无线系统相关领域的技术能力。与智能网络集成的已开发技术有可能为企业和消费者提供对通信环境的更大控制，从而提高生产力并改善服务的效率和质量。
