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已经建立了通信系统高频电子和电路中心（CHECCS），即行业 - 大学合作研究中心（IUCRC）。这三所大学的努力将提供合作的机会，以发展新的研究知识，以支持美国在无线通信技术中的竞争力，包括5G/6G及以后。 CHECC解决了增加对高频电路和通信系统服务的可访问性的潜力。该中心的研究将与教育活动无缝融合，发现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。代表性不足的教职员工，研究生和本科生将被每个站点积极招募，并参与中心的研究和教育活动，包括外展活动。高频设备，电路和通信系统的技术领域对美国行业，其经济和国家安全至关重要。 CHECC的使命是为单个芯片上的未来多尺度系统开发不同级别的集成组件。 CHECC将力量和专家从广泛的学科带来，以显着促进知识并弥合大学与行业之间的差距。研究领域涵盖了从电气工程到计算机工程，材料科学，运输和物理学的广泛学科。该中心将与行业和政府机构紧密合作，通过结合参与研究小组的知识并创建将工程研究与技术创新联系起来的文化，以应对多学科研究挑战。通过与行业/从业者组织和技术转让办公室的持续合作伙伴关系，将实现这种联系。 CHECC的核心优势包括一个具有学术和行业研究经验的动态团队，重点是全面的电磁建模，单片微波炉和毫米波整合电路，射频高功率组件和系统，天线设计以及数字和模拟电路设计高达Terahertz频率。该团队可以访问高级制造，测试和高性能计算资源，以及与行业的牢固联系，以实现研究领域的完善。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准通过评估来获得的支持。
