In connection with the prospective fifth generation of mobile networks (5G) and the Internet of Things (IoT) deployments, this 5-year Discovery Grant research responds directly to the strategic and global vision to create and develop future, flexible smart wireless devices and systems. It strives to overcome core challenges in developing the next generation of information and communication technologies (ICT), such as intelligent mobility and autonomous operation, by focusing on merging the three fundamental wireless functions into one single transceiver, namely communication, sensing and powering. This holistic integration will create an unprecedented wireless system with aggregated radio-radar functions that can directly and uniquely interplay in order to resolve many long-standing issues in the field. In addition, the embedded wireless powering may allow the creation of a maintenance-free system.*******The applicant, his students and research fellows in collaboration with his colleagues and technical support staff are poised to theoretically and experimentally investigate, develop and demonstrate the world's first wireless transceiver featuring multi-function and hetero-structure over select frequency ranges of megahertz through terahertz. The main research goals are to propose, study and explore highly original wireless transceiver architectures and technologies with the enabling integration platforms of wireless functions and hardware structures. Specifically, this research is concerned with the following concepts and demonstrations: (1) heterogeneous multilayer techniques with focus on hybrid coupling mechanisms and critical front-end circuits; (2) Integrated antenna arrays with Yagi topologies and mode diversities; (3) multiport interferometer architectures with joint radio-radar operations; (4) multiport interferometer techniques with simultaneous radio communication and power harvesting; and (5) multilayer multiport multi-function transceivers with the integrated scheme of data communication, parametric sensing and power harvesting. As opposed to conventional Schottky diodes, backward tunneling diodes are studied for demonstrating extremely low-power multi-port transceivers.*******As the first of its kind in the world, this research proposes a game-changing solution for the wireless community; in the long term, its technology can be far-reaching and disruptive in many different industries. There is an urgent need for Canada to sustain its ICT leadership and exploit this emerging field by exploring and developing new technologies, which will not only expand the reach of current systems but also trigger new applications and propel new markets. The successful development of this research project is strategically important for Canadian smart and better living, regulatory policy, technological education, economic growth, and sustainable future.**

与预期的第五代移动网络（5G）和物联网（IoT）部署有关，这项为期5年的Discovery Grant研究直接响应了创建和发展未来，灵活的智能无线设备和系统的战略和全球愿景。它努力克服核心挑战，以开发下一代信息和通信技术（ICT），例如智能移动性和自主操作，通过专注于将三个基本无线功能合并为一个单个收发器，即通信，感应和动力。这种整体集成将创建一个前所未有的无线系统，具有汇总的无线电功能，可以直接而独特的相互作用，以解决该领域的许多长期存在的问题。 In addition, the embedded wireless powering may allow the creation of a maintenance-free system.*******The applicant, his students and research fellows in collaboration with his colleagues and technical support staff are poised to theoretically and experimentally investigate, develop and demonstrate the world's first wireless transceiver featuring multi-function and hetero-structure over select frequency ranges of megahertz through terahertz.主要的研究目标是通过启用无线功能和硬件结构的集成平台提出，研究和探索高度原始的无线收发器架构和技术。具体而言，这项研究涉及以下概念和演示：（1）侧重于混合耦合机制和关键前端电路的异质多层技术； （2）具有Yagi拓扑和模式多样性的集成天线阵列； （3）具有关节无线电操作的多部干涉仪体系结构； （4）通过同时进行无线电通信和功率收获的多端子干涉仪技术； （5）多层多派多功能收发器具有数据通信，参数传感和功率收集的集成方案。与传统的Schottky二极管相比，研究了向后的隧道二极管，以证明极低功率的多端口收发器。*******是世界上同类产品中的第一个。从长远来看，其技术在许多不同的行业中可能具有深远的影响和破坏性。加拿大迫切需要通过探索和开发新技术来维持其ICT领导力，并利用这一新兴领域，这不仅会扩大当前系统的覆盖范围，而且还会触发新的应用程序和推动新市场。该研究项目的成功发展对于加拿大聪明，更好的生活，监管政策，技术教育，经济增长和可持续的未来至关重要。**
