The Wireless Communications Center (WCC) within the
department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst will offer a cross-disciplinary program of research and education targeted at the
rapidly emerging needs of the wireless communications industry. The WCC will be committed to
developing a strong partnership with the wireless industry necessary for a relevant program of systems and technology oriented research. A unique
feature of the WCC is its priority on the treatment of the complete wireless
communications system, for both research and educational purposes. Participating faculty members of the WCC have expertise that ranges from
antennas, RF and microwave circuits, modulation methods, coding theory, VLSI design for low power, and networking
protocols. The goal of the Center will be to advance the state-of-the-art in wireless systems research, and to provide graduate education for a new generation of wireless engineers.
