The Berkeley Wireless Research Center is a research consortium of industry, students and faculty in the Department of EECS at the University of California at Berkeley and the Gigascale Silicon Research Center - GSRC.   Our industry members are Cadence, Ericsson, Agilent, Intel,  ST Microelectronics,  Texas Instruments, Qualcomm Incorporated,  Atmel Corporation, Infineon Technologies and Hitachi Limited.

Our goal is to provide an environment for research into the design issues necessary to support next generation wireless communication systems and to expand the graduate research program in the wireless segment.  The research focus will be on highly integrated CMOS implementations, which have the lowest possible energy consumption while using advanced communication algorithms. Components will be fabricated using state-of-the-art processes and evaluated in a realistic test environment.

 We would like to acknowledge the research support from DARPA and the equipment donations of Nortel (Wireless PBX), Bay Networks (Network switches and  routers), Network Appliances (RAID File Server), andSun Microsystems (Unix Server) and the software donations from Mathworks (Matlab, Simulink and Stateflow), Microsoft, Sonics Incorporated, Synopsys Incorporated, Tensilica Incorporated, OPNET Technologies Incorporated, Cygnus Incorporated and Remcom Inc.
