Center for Telecommunication Circuits and Systems (Connection One)IIP-0934091University of HawaiiIskanderThis is a proposal to renew the University of Hawaii's participation in the Connection One (C1) center, an I/UCRC center that was created in 2002. The lead institution is Arizona State University, and at present includes five universities. The main research mission of the C1 is to develop technologies and solutions for emerging wireless communication systems, ranging from circuit designs and smart antennas to wireless network architectures and protocols. The scope of C1 extends to the integration of wireless and broadband wire-line technologies (optical communications). The primary focus of the proposed site over the next five years will be to continue providing the capabilities, expertise, and research facilities for conducting research that complements and supports the overall research focus in the Connection One Center. The University of Hawaii (UH) brings in significant research strength in areas such as channel modeling, advanced antenna system designs, and digital signal processing for smart antennas and effective detection and classification of buried objects. UH has been a member of C1 since 2004, and during this period has attracted 17 funded projects from seven corporate sponsors. The projects listed in this proposal will have significant impact in various industries like communication systems, radar systems, RF device design, fabrication and testing, smart antennas, and various applications such as IED and UXO detection using electromagnetic. The educational highlight of the activities of the UH site is the RET program that trains a large number of teachers throughout the state as well as significantly contributes to the STEM education in Hawaii. There is mention of participation of underrepresented minorities in the center from native Hawaiians, and faculty of this site appear to continuously augment their infrastructure needs by seeking NSF and other funding dedicated to enhancing research infrastructure, for example through MRI funding.

这是夏威夷大学重新参与连接一（C1）中心的提案，该中心是2002年创建的I/UCRC中心。领头机构是亚利桑那州立大学，目前包括五所大学。C1的主要研究任务是为新兴的无线通信系统开发技术和解决方案，从电路设计和智能天线到无线网络架构和协议。C1的范围扩展到无线和宽带有线技术（光通信）的集成。未来五年，该基地的主要重点将是继续为开展研究提供能力、专业知识和研究设施，以补充和支持连接一号中心的整体研究重点。夏威夷大学（UH）在信道建模、先进天线系统设计、智能天线的数字信号处理以及有效探测和分类埋藏物体等领域具有重要的研究实力。UH自2004年以来一直是C1的成员，在此期间吸引了来自7家企业赞助商的17个资助项目。该提案中列出的项目将对通信系统，雷达系统，射频设备设计，制造和测试，智能天线以及使用电磁的IED和UXO探测等各种应用等各个行业产生重大影响。休斯敦大学的教育活动的亮点是RET项目，该项目在全州范围内培训了大量教师，并为夏威夷的STEM教育做出了重大贡献。这里提到了来自夏威夷原住民的未被充分代表的少数民族在中心的参与，该网站的教师似乎通过寻求NSF和其他致力于加强研究基础设施的资金，例如通过MRI资金，不断增加他们对基础设施的需求。
