Agilent, UC Davis launch research center

The University of California, Davis, is partnering with Santa Clara, Calif.-based Agilent Technologies to establish the Davis Millimeter Wave Research Center (DMRC).

An Agilent statement announcing the launch says the new center will work to advance millimeter-wave applications for devices in numerous industries, including healthcare, where the technology is used in medical imaging systems.

“In launching the DMRC, our goal is to become a premier millimeter-wave research center nationally and internationally,” said Linda Katehi, chancellor of UC Davis, in the statement. “With this new facility, UC Davis will be able to expand the research, and recruit outstanding graduate students and faculty.”

“Agilent is delighted to support UC Davis’ research into millimeter wave technology,” said Gregg Peters, vice president of Agilent’s Component Test Division. “Millimeter wave implementation has broad industry impact, and our many first-to-market test solutions are ideal tools for revealing the information critical to their work.”

The statement describes the Davis Millimeter Wave Research Center as an industry-university cooperative research program. The DMRC, it says, is broadly focused on fostering millimeter wave technology for wireless communications, radar, sensing and imaging systems. The activities in the DMRC involve devices, integrated circuits, components, packaging, subsystems and system implementation.
