Integrated Circuits for Wireless Communications: Research Activities at the University of California, San Diego: Circuits Research for Wireless Communications at the University of California, San Diego

The continuing demand for improved wireless connectivity and enhanced data rates has spurred worldwide research in microwave and millimeter (mm)-wave circuits and systems within academia, government, and industrial centers. At the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), the Center for Wireless Communications (CWC) was established more than two decades ago and has contributed to analog, microwave, and millimeter circuits and systems research; communication and information theory; coding; and application studies for 4G, 5G, and 6G wireless systems. This article highlights recent UCSD research efforts, emphasizing the microwave and mm-wave circuits and systems and accompanying analog circuit techniques, carried out in conjunction with the CWC.
