In wireless communications, electromagnetic theory and information theory constitute a pair of fundamental theories, bridged by antenna theory and wireless propagation channel modeling theory. Up to the fifth generation (5G) wireless communication networks, these four theories have been developing relatively independently. However, in sixth generation (6G) wireless communication networks, due to the global coverage enabled by space-air-ground-sea networks and the deeply mutual-coupling of antennas and communication environments, it is necessary to jointly model antennas and wireless propagation channels. To address the challenges in 6G, the integration of the above four theories becomes inevitable, leading to the concept of electromagnetic information theory (EIT). In this talk, the concepts and applications of EIT are illustrated, including our recent advances in circuit-based MIMO radio channel modeling, continuous-space channel modeling, and channel capacity analysis of non-stationary massive MIMO channels.
