Why CHECCS?
CHECCS brings together research leaders with unique university infrastructure to advance the field high-frequency communications.
Our Mission
Our mission is to develop long-term partnerships among industry, academe and government, which will contribute to the nation’s research infrastructure base.
In addition, we will:
- Train a new breed of engineers equipped with the knowledge needed to work on increasingly complex products in high frequency communications
- Increase industry collaborations and partnerships
- Accelerate technology transfer of CHECC’s research into commercially viable products
- Stimulate spin-offs and startups
- Form long-term partnerships with organizations of various sizes and functions
- Leverage support from industry, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, and the Department of Energy.
Our Vision
Expand the innovation capacity of our nation’s competitive workforce through partnerships between industries and universities.
There is a national need for qualified engineers and scientists with deep expertise in the various technically-challenging areas supporting high-frequency communications, including semiconductor devices; analog, digital, active and passive circuits; signal and image processing; electromagnetics; antennas; wave propagations; photonics; sensing; systems; and even more.
High-frequency communication systems have penetrated almost all aspects of our daily life with applications ranging from autonomous cars, personalized medicine and monitored healthcare, agricultural sensing, and merchandise inventory, to name only a few. Hence, the technical area of high-frequency devices, circuits and communication systems, broadly defined, is critically important to US industry, economy and national security. It is hard to imagine an innovative application or a modern organization in any area that does not need advanced high-frequency/high-speed telecommunications in its operation.
