Globally, the information and communication technology landscape is changing to prepare for the fully automated and remotely managed systems required for Industry 4.0 and the shift to a smart society. This transformation will bring high volumes of data and require integrated global communication technologies capable of transmitting quickly, reliably, and power efficiently with near zero latency at both traditional sub-6-GHz communication bands and millimeter-wave frequencies. Research into communication technologies generally occurs at one of seven network layers. At the physical layer, research is generally carried out at the component level of the layer's two major groupings (baseband digital signal processing and radio front-ends), in a siloed manner without considering performance at the link or system levels. The applicant's extensive research experience and discussions with his world leading communication infrastructure supply chain partners have flagged the urgency of pursuing physical layer research holistically. The applicant intends to research foundational theories and techniques to synergistically develop ground-breaking digital signal processing methods and micro- and millimeter-wave circuit and system designs and architectures for high-performance transmitters required by future communication technologies. More than a dozen highly qualified personnel will be trained through this Discovery program. Successful completion of the proposed objectives will lead to new design techniques and strategies, and intellectual property that can be immediately adopted by industry. The applicant has a strong track record of transferring technology developments to industry quickly. The outcomes of this program will allow the applicant to attract further industrial support and additional research grant funding, which will be used to advance the research deliverables to a point of market readiness, suitable for commercialization. Together, these achievements will help Canada to maintain its global leadership in wireless technologies and to productively contribute to the advancement of future communication technologies on an international scale.

在全球范围内，信息和通信技术格局正在发生变化，以准备行业4.0所需的完全自动化和远程管理的系统以及向智能社会的转变。这种转换将带来大量数据，并需要能够在传统的6-GHz通信频段和毫米毫米波频率下快速，可靠地传输能够有效地传输的全球通信技术。通信技术的研究通常发生在七个网络层之一。在物理层，研究通常是在层的两个主要分组（基带数字信号处理和无线电前端）的组件级别进行的，而无需考虑在链接或系统级别上的性能。申请人的广泛研究经验和与他的世界领先的沟通基础设施供应链合作伙伴的讨论已经标记了整体进行物理层研究的紧迫性。申请人打算研究基础理论和技术，以协同开发突破性的数字信号处理方法以及小毫米波电路以及对未来通信技术所需的高性能发射器的系统设计和体系结构。通过此发现计划将对十几个高素质的人员进行培训。成功完成拟议的目标将导致新的设计技术和策略以及行业可以立即采用的知识产权。申请人在将技术发展转移到行业方面有很强的记录。该计划的结果将使申请人能够吸引进一步的工业支持和其他研究赠款资金，这些资金将用于将研究可交付成果推向市场准备就绪，适合商业化。这些成就将共同有助于加拿大维持其在无线技术方面的全球领导力，并有效地在国际规模上进步未来的通信技术。
