The objective of this project is to acquire, install, and maintain a near-field antenna test system at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) - Southern Methodist University (SMU) Antenna Characterization Lab for use by the UTD-SMU faculty and students for research, development, and class instruction in the area of antennas and wave propagation as well as by local industries in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex area.Intellectual Merit: The proposed 3-D scanner measurement system will facilitate the development of antennas for wireless communications, particularly cellular phone antennas, window-unit antennas for satellite-ground communication, and antennas for spatial and polarization diversities. The antennas of cellular phones will have improved efficiency and produce substantially reduced harmful radiation to the user's head, while the window-unit antenna will be conveniently mounted flat over a window pane for satellite reception such as cable viewing. The spatial and polarization diversity will increase the reliability of currently available wireless devices.Broader Impacts: The UTD-SMU Antenna Characterization Lab expects three broad impacts from the acquisition of the facility on the academia and industry in wireless communications in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex: Research and development of antennas by the university faculty and students in terms of diagnosis and characterization; classroom instruction at both SMU and UTD for demonstration as well as training antenna engineers; and accessibility of the facility by the local industry.

该项目的目标是在德克萨斯大学达拉斯分校 (UTD) - 南卫理公会大学 (SMU) 天线表征实验室获取、安装和维护近场天线测试系统，供 UTD-SMU 教职员工和学生使用用于天线和波传播领域以及达拉斯-沃斯堡都会区当地工业的研究、开发和课堂教学。智力优点：拟议的 3D 扫描仪测量系统将促进无线天线的开发通信，特别是蜂窝电话天线、用于卫星-地面通信的窗口单元天线以及用于空间和极化分集的天线。 蜂窝电话的天线将提高效率，并大大减少对用户头部产生的有害辐射，而窗单元天线将方便地平装在窗玻璃上，用于卫星接收，例如有线电视观看。 空间和极化分集将提高当前可用无线设备的可靠性。 更广泛的影响：UTD-SMU 天线表征实验室预计收购该设施将对达拉斯-沃斯堡大都市的无线通信学术界和行业产生三方面广泛影响：大学教职员工和学生在诊断和表征方面对天线的研究和开发； SMU 和 UTD 的课堂教学，用于演示以及培训天线工程师；当地工业对设施的可达性。
