Welcome to CWC
Welcome to the Center for Wireless Communications (CWC) at the University of California, San Diego. As a brief introduction, the Center was established in February 1995 and rapidly became a leader in wireless communications research. With its preeminent faculty and high caliber graduate students, the CWC partners with companies in the private sector to address the emerging needs of the wireless communications industry. CWC faculty and students are engaged in a broad range of research areas relevant to the wireless industry: wireless applications, networking, digital communication systems and high-speed integrated circuits. You can learn more about the Center projects, faculty, and students, as well as the organization of the center and membership related information at this Website.

Prof. Rene Cruz is the recipient of the 2009 INFOCOM achievement award from the IEEE Communication Society. This prestigious award recognizes Prof. Cruz` contributions in the area of communication networks. The award was announced at the 2009 IEEE INFOCOM Conference, the IEEE flagship conference which addresses key topics and issues related to computer communications, with emphasis on traffic management and protocols for both wired and wireless networks.
The poster “A Stress-Tolerant Temperature-Stable RF MEMS Switched Capacitor” by Isak Reines and Prof. Gabriel Rebeiz has been selected for the best poster award in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering Research Expo 2009. This work was supported under the DARPA N/MEMS Science and Technology Fundamentals program with the aim transitioning RF MEMS technology into DoD systems. The poster described temperature-stable RF MEMS capacitive switches which can be fabricated in a variety of processes and under different stress conditions with high reliability.
