IUCRC University of Texas Wireless Networking and Communications Group: A WICAT Center Site

德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（UT-A）计划加入现有的多所大学产学研合作中心（I/UCRC），名为“无线互联网先进技术中心”（WICAT），该中心目前由四个成员机构组成：UT-A WICAT站点将专注于大规模宽带无线射频集成电路和信号处理。这包括片上天线的理论和实践，接收机和发射机的设计和可扩展的信号和系统方法。UT-A站点将提供新一代无线系统所需的新型通信电路、系统架构、天线和传播知识。UT-A的WICAT新站点将在新的频率范围内实现芯片、电路和信号处理协同设计能力，从而在物理和功能网络层面上实现研究见解。利用现有的大学项目和对场地的研究，将外联性和多样性与场地规划很好地结合起来。

University of Texas at Austin (UT-A) is planning to join the existing multi-university Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) entitled "The Wireless Internet Center for Advanced Technology" (WICAT) which is currently comprised of four member institutions: the Polytechnic Institute of NYU as the lead institution, Auburn University, the University of Virginia, and Virginia Tech. The UT-A WICAT site will focus on massively broadband wireless RF Integrated circuits and signal processing. This includes the theory and practice of on-chip antennas, receiver and transmitter design and scalable signal and system approaches. The UT-A Site will bring capability in new communication circuits, system architectures, and antenna and propagation knowledge for 60 GHz and above needed for emerging generations of wireless systems. A new site of WICAT at UT-A will enable chip and circuit and signal processing co-design capability in a new frequency range enabling research insights at both the physical and functional network levels. There is good integration of outreach and diversity with site plans drawing on existing university programs and leveraging research of the site.
