Abstract: The objective of the proposed research is to develop a novel 5G/mm-Wave-enabled mmID systems for energy autonomous, highly scalable next generation localization systems. In order to achieve this, the development of an ultra-low-cost, compact, high-fidelity 60 GHz mmID localization and a retro-directive fully-passive harmonic through the use of a dual Rotman lens architecture, and finally a 3D lens-based mmID is proposed in order to enable high-gain and coverage in multiple axes to provide a paradigm shift in long-range, ultra-low-power mmID architectures.
