The Chair in Radio-frequency (RF) and Millimetre-Wave Engineering will establish a unique, high-level RF and MMW engineering
research program at Polytechnique, and will encompass both fundamental and applied research of hybrid and monolithic SICs. The
program aims to demonstrate the usefulness and importance of this new and possibly revolutionary technological concept as one
of the fundamental building blocks for a wide range of RF, microwave, (sub) MMW and quasi-optical circuit and system
applications, such as broadband wireless fibre (or radio-over-fibre) systems.
Dr. Wu's program will be greatly enhanced by the state-of-the-art Facility for Advanced Millimetre-wave Engineering (FAME),
recently funded by a CFI research infrastructure grant and the Quebec government. His research promises to be of tremendous
importance to the highly profitable and extremely competitive sector of high-frequency electronics and communications. It will
also lay the foundation for supporting and promoting high-profile RF and MMW R&D activities in Canada.
