Unlimited demand on information bandwidth and connectivity requires revolutionary changes in radio**technologies, communication systems, and networks. Next generation radio networks with 100 to 1000 times**more bandwidth, which will connect everything to everything with no delay, will extend the global reach of the**digital economy to every corner of this world (in the ocean, deep in the sky, and remotest villages). This vision**is way beyond the capabilities of the current technologies. A radical solution to this problem is to exploit much**higher frequency bands such as millimeter-wave and terahertz, which can provide ultra-broad information**bandwidth. Despite its extreme communication bandwidth, commercial (mass market) exploitation of**millimeter-wave spectrum is quite limited due to the cost, small radiated power, poor sensitivity of the current**devices, and complexity of the radio and antenna technologies. Millimeter-wave attenuation in the air and**common objects (building material and human body) is another difficulty. To address these challenges, one of**the most promising solutions is the intelligent massive multi-antenna systems, wherein radiations from a large**number of small identical low-cost/low-power antenna modules, are properly combined in space to generate a**high power emission in desirable direction and much less radiation and interference in unwanted directions.The**built-in intelligence in such modular radio/antenna system minimizes the power consumption and maximizes**the performance.**The objective of the proposed IRC program is to investigate and to develop a new modular and low-cost**intelligent antenna and radio technology for next generation millimeter-wave (mmW) communication and**sensing applications. A significant advantage of the proposed technology is its "scalability". This simply means**that the complex active antenna systems with various shapes and sizes, for different applications, can all be**made from the same low-power intelligent active antenna module, which can be mass-produced to minimize**the 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无线电**技术，通信系统和网络的革命性变化。下一代无线电网络具有100至1000次**更多的带宽，这将不延迟将所有内容连接到所有内容，将把**数字经济的全球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）。这个愿景**超出了当前技术的能力。解决此问题的一种根本解决方案是利用更高的频带，例如毫米波和Terahertz，它们可以提供超大的信息**带宽。尽管具有极端的通信带宽，但由于成本，辐射功率较小，当前**设备的敏感性较差，无线电和天线技术的复杂性，**毫米波频谱的商业（大众市场）剥削却非常有限。空气中的毫米波衰减和**常见物体（建筑物和人体）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滕纳系统，其中大量**数量相同的小型低成本/低功率天线模块的辐射是正确组合的，以生成太空**朝着理想的方向上的高功率排放，辐射和干扰的方向较少。拟议的IRC计划是调查和开发新的模块化和低成本**智能天线和无线电技术，用于下一代毫米波（MMW）通信和**传感应用程序。该技术的一个重要优势是其“可伸缩性”。这仅意味着**对于不同的应用，具有各种形状和尺寸的复杂的活性天线系统都可以由相同的低功率智能活性天线模块制成，可以批量生产以最小化**成本。在此IRC计划期间将开发此类系统的全面工作原型
