Many aspects of our lives and economies are becoming fundamentally dependent on wireless technology in a manner that they were not before. This trend is exemplified by the massive investment in future endeavors, such as 5G technology. Many in IEEE believe 5G will become the cornerstone of future wireless networks, enabling fundamentally new applications. These include the internet of things (IOT), with its anticipated billions of devices laden with embedded sensors. A common denominator in many of the new wireless applications is the antenna systems, which form the “eyes and ears” of many sensors. New developments for advancing the state of the art in antenna technology and associated microwave and millimeter wave circuits to meet future challenges will be needed. This talk will address some current and new emerging directions of research in antenna systems. This also includes new fundamental approaches for antenna analysis, the near fields and electromagnetic energy around antenna systems, and possible implications on future antenna systems design, in what is expected to be an increasingly crowded electromagnetic environment. The talk will also briefly address the importance and impact of this research on engineering education.
