The Ohio State University ConnectionOne Center for Radio Frequency Systems - Phase II-ConnectionOne Site at Ohio State

俄亥俄州立大学(俄亥俄州立大学)关于连接1134641俄亥俄州立大学(俄亥俄州立大学)的I/UCRC I/UCRC的完整建议(第二阶段)；John Volakis连接One地点在俄亥俄州立大学提议为该中心提供第二阶段支持(第二个五年期)，包括对中央人员、评估和研究的支持。该中心目前由亚利桑那州立大学(LEAD)、亚利桑那大学、夏威夷大学和伦斯勒理工学院作为研究合作伙伴。俄亥俄州立大学第二阶段提案的目标是在其成功的第一阶段工作的基础上，继续其成功的第一阶段工作，作为已经由国家科学基金会产业/大学合作研究计划资助的“连接一：通信电路和系统中心”(C1中心)的一部分。俄亥俄州立大学为C1中心增加了独特的能力，原因有两个：(1)在电磁学、RFIC和射频系统方面拥有成熟的大型课程，拥有超过120名研究生和近15名本科生；(2)广泛的实验设施，用于天线、RFIC、单芯片系统测试和评估、聚合物和陶瓷制造、LTCC丝网印刷、高达3 THz的太赫兹成像和遥感。俄亥俄州最近为太赫兹设备提供的300万美元赠款也将在第二阶段得到利用。俄亥俄州立大学将通过专注于测量和系统设计活动(用于实现高数据速率的多功能一体机的无源和有源组件集成)，大幅提高C1 NSF中心的可见性和活跃度。拟议中的网站将专注于培训学生在一个真正跨学科的舞台上进行集成通信系统的研究，这对美国许多行业至关重要。该中心的固有目标是将工业需求与大学研究相结合，并在发展良好和得到支持的实验室环境中提供学生实践经验，其中包括RFIC硬件、4G无线、编码和信号处理技术、软件无线电/雷达和MIMO技术、RFID、新材料和超材料、传感器和传感器网络。与C1中心内其他大学的合作项目是拟议选址的另一个关键方面。俄亥俄州立大学网站在其第一阶段奖项的任期内保持了7至10名行业和政府成员，并在第一阶段奖项期间通过新开发的课程作业和中心的研究培训学生方面取得了成功。

Full Center Proposal (Phase II) for an I/UCRC for the Connection One Center for Radio Frequency Systems 1134641 Ohio State University (OSU); John Volakis The Connection One site at the Ohio State University is proposing a Phase II support (second five-year period) for the Center, including support for central personnel, evaluation and research. The center is currently comprised of the Arizona State University (lead), the University of Arizona, the University of Hawaii, and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as research partners. The objective of this Phase II Ohio State University proposal is to build on and continue its successful Phase I effort as part of the "Connection One: Communications Circuits and Systems Center" (C1 Center) already funded by the National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Program. The Ohio State University adds unique capabilities to the C1 Center for two reasons: (1) Has an established large program in Electromagnetics, RFICs and Radio Frequency Systems with over 120 graduate students and nearly 15 undergrads; (2) Extensive experimental facilities for antennas, RFICs, systems-on-a-chip testing and evaluation, polymer and ceramics fabrication, LTCC screen printing, terahertz imaging up to 3THz, and remote sensing. A recent State of Ohio $3M grant for terahertz equipment will be leveraged during Phase II as well. Ohio State will substantially increase the visibility and activity of the C1 NSF Center by focusing on measurements and system design activities (passive and active component integration for multifunctional all-in-one devices for high data rates). The proposed site will focus on training students in a truly interdisciplinary arena for research in integrated communications systems, critical to many U.S. industries. The inherent aim of the Center is to integrate industry needs with University research and provide hands-on student experiences in a well-developed and supported laboratory setting for RFIC hardware, 4G wireless, coding and signal processing techniques, software radios/radars and MIMO technologies, RFIDs, new materials and metamaterials, sensors and sensor networks to mention a few. Collaborative projects with other universities within the C1 Center are another key aspect of the proposed site. The Ohio State University site has maintained from 7 to 10 industry and government members over the term of its phase I award, and has had success during its phase 1 award in the training of students through newly developed course work and the center's research.
