::UCSD Center for Wireless Communications::

Welcome to CWC

Welcome to the Center for Wireless Communications (CWC) at the University of California, San Diego. As a brief introduction, the Center was established in February 1995 and rapidly became a leader in wireless communications research. With its preeminent faculty and high caliber graduate students, the CWC partners with companies in the private sector to address the emerging needs of the wireless communications industry. CWC faculty and students are engaged in a broad range of research areas relevant to the wireless industry: wireless applications, networking, digital communication systems and high-speed integrated circuits. You can learn more about the Center projects, faculty, and students, as well as the organization of the center and membership related information at this Website.

CWC professor Ian Galton is the featured innovator in the September 2009 issue of "invent@UCSD" -the newsletter of the UC San Diego Technology Transfer Office. Galton leads the Integrated Signal Processing Group within the Jacobs School's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Read the whole story.

The University of California, San Diego (UCSD), provider of a leading program in microwave and millimeter-wave RFICs and mixed-signal, and Jazz Semiconductor®, a Tower Group Company (NASDAQ: TSEM) (TASE: TSEM), today announced that they have collaborated to develop a two-antenna quad-beam RFIC phased array receiver covering the 11-15 GHz frequency range. First time success was achieved using Jazz Semiconductor’s high performance 0.18-micron SiGe BiCMOS process and its own proprietary models, kit and DIRECT MPW (Multiproject Wafer) program. The chip was designed and tested by the Electrical and Computer Engineering School at UCSD, and was sponsored by the DARPA RF VLSI program, Dr. Mark Rosker, Program Monitor. Read more...

Prof. Rene Cruz is the recipient of the 2009 INFOCOM achievement award from the IEEE Communication Society. This prestigious award recognizes Prof. Cruz` contributions in the area of communication networks. The award was announced at the 2009 IEEE INFOCOM Conference, the IEEE flagship conference which addresses key topics and issues related to computer communications, with emphasis on traffic management and protocols for both wired and wireless networks.

Professors Paul Siegel and Alex Vardy are the recipients, along with Los Alamos National Laboratory colleagues Dr. N. Santhi and Dr. M. Chertkov, of a three-year grant for research on "Coding, Detection, and Inference in Multiple Dimensions", as part of the UC Lab Research Program. The project addresses problems in multi-dimensional data representation and coding, as well as detection and inference on graphical models of multi-dimensional storage and transmission channels. The grant is one of 9 awarded to UCSD.
