Unlimited demand on information bandwidth and connectivity requires revolutionary changes in radiotechnologies, communication systems, and networks. Next generation radio networks with 100 to 1000 timesmore bandwidth, which will connect everything to everything with no delay, will extend the global reach of thedigital economy to every corner of this world (in the ocean, deep in the sky, and remotest villages). This visionis way beyond the capabilities of the current technologies. A radical solution to this problem is to exploit muchhigher frequency bands such as millimeter-wave and terahertz, which can provide ultra-broad informationbandwidth. Despite its extreme communication bandwidth, commercial (mass market) exploitation ofmillimeter-wave spectrum is quite limited due to the cost, small radiated power, poor sensitivity of the currentdevices, and complexity of the radio and antenna technologies. Millimeter-wave attenuation in the air andcommon objects (building material and human body) is another difficulty. To address these challenges, one ofthe most promising solutions is the intelligent massive multi-antenna systems, wherein radiations from a largenumber of small identical low-cost/low-power antenna modules, are properly combined in space to generate ahigh power emission in desirable direction and much less radiation and interference in unwanted directions.Thebuilt-in intelligence in such modular radio/antenna system minimizes the power consumption and maximizesthe performance.The objective of the proposed IRC program is to investigate and to develop a new modular and low-costintelligent antenna and radio technology for next generation millimeter-wave (mmW) communication andsensing applications. A significant advantage of the proposed technology is its "scalability". This simply meansthat the complex active antenna systems with various shapes and sizes, for different applications, can all bemade from the same low-power intelligent active antenna module, which can be mass-produced to minimizethe cost. A comprehensive working prototype of such system will be developed during this IRC program

信息带宽和连接性的无限需求需要放射性技术，通信系统和网络的革命性变化。具有100到1000倍带宽的下一代无线电网络将不延迟将所有内容连接到所有内容，将把TheDigital Emanage的全球影响范围扩展到这个世界的每个角落（在海洋中，天空深处，最遥远的村庄）。这种视觉超出了当前技术的能力。解决此问题的一个根本解决方案是利用更大的频带，例如毫米波和Terahertz，它们可以提供超大的信息带宽。尽管具有极高的通信带宽，但由于成本，辐射功率较小，电流设备的敏感性不佳以及无线电和天线技术的复杂性，商业（大众市场）的利用量很大。空气和通用物体（建筑材料和人体）中的毫米波衰减是另一个困难。为了应对这些挑战，最有前途的解决方案之一是智能的大型多安特纳系统，其中适当地组合了小小的相同相同的低成本/低功率天线模块的辐射，可以在太空中结合使用，以产生可喜的方向发射Ahigh的功率在这种模块化无线电/天线系统中建造的智能最小化的智力和最大程度的性能。拟议的IRC计划的目的是调查和开发新的模块化和低稳定性天线的目标以及下一代毫米波（MMW）通信和传感器应用程序的无线电技术。该技术的一个重要优势是其“可伸缩性”。这只是意味着具有各种形状和尺寸的复杂的活性天线系统，对于不同的应用，都可以从相同的低功率智能活性天线模块中屈服，这可以批量生产以最小化的成本。在此IRC计划期间将开发此类系统的全面工作原型
