“Wireless” and “data exchange” are closely related concepts that are largely involved in our daily lives. None can even imagine life without wireless. However, this trend comes with an exponential growth of data consumption. As stated by the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, with the second greatest number of 4G/LTE networks in the world and over 30 million subscribers, from which around 73% have smartphones, Canadian wireless market sector revenues are the largest component of total telecommunications revenues. Furthermore, “data consumption increased by 44% in 2014-2015, and mobile data traffic is expected to grow fivefold from 2016 to 2021.” To effectively address the above challenges, professional are privileging millimetre-wave (mm-wave) frequency bands, particularly through the imminent implementation of the 5th generation (5G), expected to begin in 2020. In fact, even if the specific technologies/standards that will be part of the 5G have yet to be finalized, there is a broad consensus that mm-wave bands will enable wider bandwidths and higher data rates. Yet, data exchange is not restricted to 5G technology and related smart-devices while referring to mm-wave wireless applications. In fact, a relatively new player is emerging in the mm-wave wireless market namely, the MilliMetre-wave IDentification (MMID), a counterpart of the well-known Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID). In fact, MMID systems have several unique characteristics such as light weight, small size, high accuracy, and fine resolution as well as the potential of encoding a larger number of data bits, making them ideal for efficient and secure tracking and identification. However, as highlighted in several technical papers, the above technologies raise critical issues related to performance. In fact, because of the operating frequency range (mm-waves), such features involve enhanced solutions in both circuit and antenna designs to address issues related to high propagation loss, expensive semiconductor and packaging technologies, lack of foundry models, unwanted radiation and coupling effects, lack of gain/power at higher frequencies, to name a few. To assure consistent design and meet the above technology standards and objectives, designers need to be provided with reliable computer-aided design (CAD) tools and improving system performance. The aim of the present proposal is to propose high-performing circuit designs, improve active device modeling/characterization and circuit analysis capabilities, quantify/minimize electromagnetic effects (multipath, parasitic coupling ), as well as enhance antenna array performance for next-generation mm-wave wireless systems.

“无线”和“数据交换”是我们日常生活中主要涉及的密切相关的概念。没有无线的生活甚至无法想象生活。但是，这种趋势是数据消耗的指数增长。正如加拿大无线电信协会所说的那样，世界上4G/LTE网络的第二大数量和超过3000万订户数量最多，大约73％的订户拥有智能手机，加拿大无线市场部门透露，这是电信总计的最大组成部分。此外，“ 2014 - 2015年，数据消耗增长了44％，从2016年到2021年，移动数据流量预计将增长5倍。” To effectively address the above challenges, professional are privileged millimetre-wave (mm-wave) frequency bands, particularly through the imminent implementation of the 5th generation (5G), expected to begin in 2020. In fact, even if the specific technologies/standards that will be part of the 5G have yet to be finalized, there is a broad consensus that mm-wave bands will enable wider bandwidths and higher data rates.但是，在参考MM-WAVE无线应用程序的同时，数据交换不仅限于5G技术和相关的智能设备。实际上，一个相对新的玩家正在MM波无线市场中出现，即毫米波识别（MMID），这是众所周知的射频标识（RFID）的对应物。实际上，MMID系统具有多种独特的特征，例如重量轻，尺寸较小，准确性和良好的分辨率以及编码大量数据位的潜力，使其非常适合有效，安全的跟踪和识别。但是，正如几篇技术论文中强调的那样，上述技术提出了与性能相关的关键问题。实际上，由于操作频率范围（MM波），此类功能涉及电路和天线设计中的增强解决方案，以解决与高传播损失，昂贵的半导体和包装技术相关的问题，缺乏铸造型模型，不需要的辐射和耦合效应，缺乏较高的频率/电源在较高的经常光中，以命名一些数字。为了确保一致的设计并符合上述技术标准和目标，需要为设计人员提供可靠的计算机辅助设计（CAD）工具并改善系统性能。本提案的目的是提出高性能电路设计，改善主动设备建模/表征和电路分析能力，量化/最小化电磁效应（多径，寄生耦合），并增强天线阵列性能以用于下一代MM波无线系统。
