Fifth generation (5G) wireless technology collectively refers to an assemblage of revolutionary hardware, infrastructure, and communication air interfaces that will usher in a digital society in which anyone (people) or anything (machines) can access information anywhere, at any time. Although it has the potential to transform Canadian lives significantly, the realization of 5G is predicated on the availability of highly efficient (and hence, nonlinear) circuits and systems that we are ill-equipped to characterize and validate using currently available test and measurement tools, especially at the frequencies and modulation bandwidths envisioned for 5G radio communication. In collaboration with Keysight Technologies, the world's leading electronic measurement company, the proposed project aims to address the unmistakable shortcomings of current microwave/millimeter-wave test and measurement tools. By developing atypical hardware configurations, signal processing routines and calibration schemes to enable reliable, ultra-wideband and ultra-high frequency measurements of 5G circuits and systems, the project will advance the current state of the art in microwave/millimeter-wave test and measurement, thus providing Canadian industry and academia with a head start in the characterization, development and validation of 5G radio communication hardware, and placing Canada further along the path to becoming a digital nation.

第五代（5G）无线技术是指革命性硬件、基础设施和通信空中接口的集合，它将迎来一个数字社会，在这个社会中，任何人（人）或任何东西（机器）都可以随时随地访问信息。尽管5G有可能显著改变加拿大人的生活，但5G的实现取决于高效（因此是非线性）电路和系统的可用性，我们无法使用当前可用的测试和测量工具来表征和验证这些电路和系统，特别是在5G无线电通信所设想的频率和调制带宽下。该项目与世界领先的电子测量公司是德科技合作，旨在解决当前微波/毫米波测试和测量工具的明显缺陷。通过开发非典型的硬件配置、信号处理例程和校准方案，以实现对5G电路和系统的可靠、超宽带和超高频测量，该项目将推进微波/毫米波测试和测量的当前技术水平，从而为加拿大工业界和学术界提供5G无线电通信硬件的表征、开发和验证方面的领先优势。并使加拿大进一步沿着成为数字国家的道路。
