The microwave and millimeter wave industry is one whose products form the backbone to the development of space/satellite communication, guidance and control, broadcasting, remote-sensing and navigation systems. Its application areas are therefore broadly-based. Advance in microwave is recognized by many as being critically important to our nation's interest because of its defense system applications as well as commercial applications. As a nation, we are faced with the challenge as to how we can maintain a lead in R&D, increase the output of U.S. engineers, and more importantly, build a strong infrastructure in microwave and millimeter wave engineering. The University of Colorado and industry recognize this challenge and are cooperating to establish an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Microwave and Millimeter Wave Computer-Aided Design. The Center already has $350,000 support from industry and $100,000 support from government laboratories. Five additional companies have also indicated their intention to join the Center at $50,000/year each. The University of Colorado has agreed to forego its overhead charges (approximately $200,000/per year). In addition, there are adequate computers, laboratory space and instruments for the proposed research at the university. One of the sponsors, NBS/Boulder Laboratories, has agreed to have their facilities used for some of the required research. The proposed research includes: (1) Loss Mechanisms in Planar Lines (2) A Highly-Accurate Numerical Modeling of Microstrip Junction Discontinuities (3) In-Situ Sampling of Microwave/Millimeter-Wave Waveforms (4) Parasitic Coupling Models for CAD (5) A Generalized Program for Two-Dimensional Analysis of Microstrip Circuits (6) Discontinuity Reactance Compensation by Geometrical Modification of Discontinuity Configuration in GaAs Microstrip Circuits (7) Evaluation of Radiation from Microstrip Discontinuities in Gallium Arsenide Circuits. The principal investigator, Dr. David C. Chang, is chairman of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He has assembled a balanced group of strong senior, intermediate and junior faculty who have the capability to establish and run an I/UCR Center. An NSF continuing grant of $50,000 per year for five years is recommended. For years 2-5, $50,000 will be awarded on an annual basis. The Program Director will review annually the progress of the Center on a number of criteria, including: (1) the extent to which university/industry interaction and collaboration are developing; (2) the extent to which the support base for the center is expanding; and (3) the extent to which a robust research program is developing.

微波炉和毫米浪潮行业是其产品构成空间/卫星通信，指导和控制，广播，遥感和导航系统的骨干。 因此，其应用领域是广泛的。 由于其国防系统的应用以及商业应用，许多人认为在微波炉中的前进对我们国家的利益至关重要。 作为一个国家，我们面临着如何在研发中保持领先地位，增加美国工程师的产出，更重要的是，在微波炉和毫米波工程中建立强大的基础设施。 科罗拉多大学和工业大学认识到这一挑战，并正在合作建立一个工业/大学合作研究中心，用于微波和毫米波计算机辅助设计。 该中心已经获得了行业的35万美元支持，政府实验室的100,000美元支持。 另外五家公司还表示，他们打算以每年50,000美元的价格加入该中心。 科罗拉多大学已同意放弃其间接费用（每年约200,000美元）。 此外，还提供足够的计算机，实验室空间和工具，用于大学的拟议研究。 其中一位赞助商NBS/Boulder实验室已同意将其设施用于某些必需的研究。 拟议的研究包括：（1）平面线中的损耗机制（2）微带连接不连续性的高度准确的数值模型（3）微波/毫米波形波形的原位采样（4）通过CAD进行了二级循环（5）寄生模型（4）寄生模型（5）二维循环（5）微分循环（5）循环（5） GAAS微带电路中不连续构型的几何修饰（7）评估来自艾森尼德箱电路中微带不连续性的辐射。 首席研究员David C. Chang博士是电气和计算机工程部主席。 他组建了一个平衡的高级，中级和初级教师，他们有能力建立和经营I/UCR中心。 NSF建议每年持续50,000美元，持续五年。 在2 - 5年内，每年将授予50,000美元。 该计划主管每年将在许多标准上审查中心的进度，包括：（1）大学/行业的互动和协作的发展程度； （2）该中心的支撑基础在多大程度上扩展； （3）强大的研究计划正在发展。
