The proposed research aims to investigate and explore an emerging and disruptive technology called "substrate integrated circuits (SICs)" towards the development of millimetre-wave and terahertz integrated circuits (MTICs). This concept of SICs was pioneered by the applicant over a decade ago. Substrate integrated waveguides (SIWs), which belong to the family of SICs, have been widely studied and successfully explored by researchers around the world, under the leadership of the applicant, for the development of a new generation microwave and millimetre-wave integrated circuits and systems. The fundamental feature of SICs is that almost all non-planar guided-wave structures can be synthesized and transformed into planar form at low cost, thereby making full integrations of such structures possible. Therefore, both planar and non-planar structures can be seamlessly integrated and made of the same processing techniques. This building platform holds the promise of becoming the next generation integrated circuits for millimetre-wave and terahertz systems and unifying the physical mechanisms of electronics and photonics. This research allows the applicant to continue leading international research efforts in discovering new circuit features, new design rules, new innovative devices, and new application areas. This will involve unconventional, multilayered substrates and mixed dielectric-metallic waveguides. Fundamental guided-wave properties will be investigated. Novel theoretical techniques will be studied and developed, and experimental prototypes will be made and demonstrated for antennas, circuits and systems. This project will foster substantial interests of this new technology for future millimetre-wave and terahertz system development towards complete hybrid and monolithic system-on-substrate integration and miniaturization. The applicant, his students and research associates are eager to make a comprehensive characterization and quick development of this revolutionary technology. This research is strategically important for future explorations and applications in the field of information and communication technology. It will allow the applicant to further expand one of the most visible Canadian research programs in the world.

拟议的研究旨在调查和探索一种称为“基板综合电路（SIC）”的新兴和破坏性技术，以开发毫米波和Terahertz综合电路（MTICS）。十年前，申请人率先提出了这个SIC的概念。属于SIC家族的底物集成波导（SIWS）已在申请人的领导下得到了全球研究人员的广泛研究和成功探索，以开发新一代的微波炉和毫米波整合电路和系统。 SICS的基本特征是，几乎所有非平面指导波结构都可以被低成本合成并转化为平面形式，从而使这些结构的完整整合成为可能。因此，平面和非平面结构都可以无缝整合并由相同的处理技术制成。该建筑平台有望成为毫米波和Terahertz系统的下一代集成电路，并统一电子和光子学的物理机制。这项研究使申请人能够继续领导国际研究工作，以发现新的电路功能，新的设计规则，新的创新设备和新的应用领域。这将涉及非常规的多层底物和混合介电 - 金属波导。将研究基本的指导波属性。将研究和开发新颖的理论技术，并将为天线，电路和系统制作实验原型。该项目将促进这项新技术的重大利益，以实现未来的毫米波和Terahertz系统开发，以实现完整的混合动力和单层系统内的整体整合和微型化。申请人，他的学生和研究伙伴渴望对这项革命性技术进行全面的特征和快速发展。这项研究对于在信息和通信技术领域的未来探索和应用在战略上很重要。它将允许申请人进一步扩大世​​界上最可见的加拿大研究计划之一。
