The University of Arkansas, University of Tennessee, and Florida International University have established the Center for High-Frequency Electronics and Circuits for Communication Systems (CHECCS), an Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC). The efforts at the three universities will provide cooperative opportunities to develop new research knowledge to support U.S. competitiveness in wireless communications technologies, including 5G/6G and beyond. CHECCS addresses the potential to increase accessibility to high-frequency circuits and communication-system services. The center’s research will be seamlessly integrated with educational activities, and findings will be incorporated into courses for training undergraduate and graduate students. The center is also committed to broadening participation of underrepresented groups. Underrepresented faculty, graduate and undergraduate students will be actively recruited by each site to work on and participate in the center’s research and educational activities including outreach events. The technical area of high-frequency devices, circuits and communication systems is critically important to U.S. industry, its economy, and national security. CHECCS’ mission is in developing different levels of integrated components for future multi-scale systems on a single chip. CHECCS brings strength and expertise from a wide range of disciplines to significantly advance knowledge and bridge the gap between universities and industry. The research areas cover a broad range of disciplines from electrical engineering, to computer engineering, materials science, transportation, and physics. The center will work closely with industry and government agencies in addressing multidisciplinary research challenges by combining knowledge from participating research groups and creating a culture that links engineering research to technological innovation. This linkage will be achieved through sustained partnerships with industry/practitioner organizations and technology transfer offices. Core strengths of CHECCS include a dynamic team that has both academic and industry research experience, with emphasis on comprehensive electromagnetic modeling, monolithic microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits, radiofrequency high-power components and systems, antenna design, and digital and analog circuit design up to terahertz frequency. The team has access to advanced fabrication, testing, and high-performance computational resources, as well as strong ties to industry that will enable refinement of the research areas.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

阿肯色大学、田纳西大学和佛罗里达国际大学建立了通信系统高频电子和电路中心（CHECCS），这是一个产学合作研究中心（IUCRC），三所大学的努力将提供该中心。开发新研究知识的合作机会，以支持美国在无线通信技术（包括 5G/6G 及其他技术）方面的竞争力。该中心的研究将致力于提高高频电路和通信系统服务的可及性。与教育活动无缝结合，研究结果将纳入培训本科生和研究生的课程中，该中心还致力于扩大代表性不足的群体的参与，每个站点将积极招募代表性不足的教师、研究生和本科生来从事这项工作。并参与该中心的研究和教育活动，包括推广活动，高频设备、电路和通信系统的技术领域对美国工业、经济和国家安全至关重要，CHECCS 的使命是发展不同层次的产品。集成组件的CHECCS 汇集了多个学科的力量和专业知识，可显着推进知识进步，并缩小大学和工业界之间的差距。该中心将与行业和政府机构密切合作，通过结合参与研究小组的知识并创造一种将工程研究与技术创新联系起来的文化来应对多学科研究挑战。与行业/从业者组织的伙伴关系和技术转让CHECCS 的核心优势包括拥有学术和工业研究经验的充满活力的团队，重点关注综合电磁建模、单片微波和毫米波集成电路、射频高功率组件和系统、天线设计以及数字和模拟。该团队拥有先进的制造、测试和高性能计算资源，以及与行业的紧密联系，这将有助于完善研究领域。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并具有通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
