DESCRIPTION:Massive MIMO\, full-dimension (FD) MIMO\, millimeter-wave and s
 mall cells are some popular candidates for the 5th generation (5G) wireles
 s communication systems. However\, as much as these technologies present e
 xciting new challenges for antenna design\, the conventional design framew
 ork is expected to remain\, partly due to the current emphasis on non-ante
 nna issues. Conventionally\, terminal antennas are designed based on simpl
 e\, and often unrealistic criteria\, including an emphasis on antenna perf
 ormance in free space. Moreover\, the need for compact multi-antenna imple
 mentation makes it even more challenging to deliver efficient antenna desi
 gns. Though poor antenna performance in reality is largely overlooked for 
 different reasons\, future wireless systems with high performance requirem
 ents will greatly benefit from a more comprehensive antenna design paradig
 m.\n\nThis lecture starts by giving an overview of conventional terminal a
 ntenna design and comment on its limitations. An outline of the current tr
 ends in terminal antenna design for 4G systems is given. Then\, a new ante
 nna design paradigm that has the potential to dramatically improve 5G perf
 ormance is introduced. In particular\, the paradigm takes into account the
  interactions of the antenna system with its nearfield and farfield surrou
 ndings and provides a powerful framework to optimize these interactions. F
 inally\, some practical techniques to take advantage of this design paradi
 gm\, where each technique offers promising performance gains over the stat
 e-of-the-art\, are provided.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Microwaves and Antennas G
