The Center for High-Frequency Electronics and Circuits for Communication Systems (CHECCS) team plans to establish a multidisciplinary IUCRC center in high-frequency communication systems. Such systems have penetrated almost all aspects of our daily life, with applications ranging from autonomous cars, personalized medicine, and monitored healthcare to agricultural sensing and merchandise inventory systems, for example. The scope of CHECCS broadly includes materials, electronics, devices, circuits, radiation, and their applications. A team with broad and complementary sets of expertise will collaborate with industrial partners to initiate integrated research projects. Such projects will serve as the foundation for the center, which will not only support research projects but also coordinate educational activities in both high-frequency electronics and communications to offer certificates and training as needed by industry partners. The center?s objectives include solving multidisciplinary problems of interest to industry in this technically-challenging and economically-vital critical area, addressing industry strategic needs, and training future engineers; thus addressing a national need for qualified engineers and scientists with deep expertise in the various technically-challenging areas supporting high-frequency communications.The intellectual merits of CHECCS include activities that would support the development of the research and educational components of this initiative into a highly visible integrated program in the US. The excellent semiconductor fabrication and RF test facilities at University of Arkansas will be great assets for the industrial partners. Researchers and industrial partners will work on developing devices, circuits and systems supporting commercial and defense-oriented applications. CHECCS envisions producing highly qualified and trained engineers capable of leading advanced research and exploratory activities. Broader impacts include accelerating technology transfer research into viable products, stimulating spin-offs and start-up businesses, and forming long-term partnerships with various organizations while leveraging industry and NSF/DOD/DOE support. CHECCS will combine knowledge from research groups, train future engineers, and equip them with base knowledge through working on increasingly complex projects in high-frequency communications. CHECCS will have graduate students involved in high-quality pre-competitive research projects, thus developing students who are knowledgeable in industrially-relevant research and attracting more domestic students to strengthen ties to recruiters and alumni.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.

通信系统高频电子与电路中心（CHECCS）小组计划建立一个多学科的IUCRC高频通信系统中心。这些系统已经渗透到我们日常生活的几乎所有方面，应用范围从自动驾驶汽车、个性化医疗、监控医疗保健到农业传感和商品库存系统。CHECCS的范围广泛包括材料、电子、器件、电路、辐射及其应用。一个拥有广泛和互补专业知识的团队将与工业伙伴合作，启动综合研究项目。这些项目将成为该中心的基础，该中心不仅将支持研究项目，还将协调高频电子和通信方面的教育活动，根据行业合作伙伴的需要提供证书和培训。中心吗?S的目标包括在这个技术上具有挑战性和经济上至关重要的关键领域解决行业感兴趣的多学科问题，解决行业战略需求，培养未来的工程师；从而满足国家对在支持高频通信的各种技术挑战性领域具有深厚专业知识的合格工程师和科学家的需求。CHECCS在智力上的优点包括支持这项倡议的研究和教育组成部分的发展，使其成为美国一个高度可见的综合项目。阿肯色大学优秀的半导体制造和射频测试设备将成为工业合作伙伴的宝贵资产。研究人员和工业合作伙伴将致力于开发支持商业和国防应用的设备、电路和系统。CHECCS设想培养能够领导先进研究和探索活动的高素质和训练有素的工程师。更广泛的影响包括加速技术转移研究到可行的产品，刺激衍生产品和初创企业，并在利用工业和NSF/DOD/DOE支持的同时与各种组织形成长期合作伙伴关系。CHECCS将结合研究小组的知识，培训未来的工程师，并通过在高频通信领域日益复杂的项目中工作，为他们提供基础知识。CHECCS将让研究生参与高质量的竞争前研究项目，从而培养在工业相关研究方面知识渊博的学生，并吸引更多的国内学生加强与招聘人员和校友的联系。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
