Our goal for wireless networks is the creation of a global
information utility, like water or natural gas, which includes wireless communications,
data storage, and distributed computing. Getting there requires innovative solutions
in system design, software and hardware. Shuki Bruck considers algorithms that
describe the coverage of wireless microcells that meet the needs of mobile users.
Ali Hajimiri develops high-speed silicon wireless communications and radar circuits
for frequencies as high as 30GHz. Dave Rutledge is interested in computer-aided-design
software that predicts indoor radio-wave propagation for wireless LANs, and
transmitters based on gallium-arsenide and indium-phosphide transistors for
frequencies as high as 100GHz.
