Introduction

This program has been established at the Royal Military College since 1987. A number of research projects have been undertaken in collaboration with industry government labs and universities using state of the art technologies and design tools. The projects dealt with theoretical and practical aspects of the use of microelectronics in a variety of applications. These included electronic warfare support measure systems, computer arithmetic, and digital radio. A number of integrated circuits have been successfully designed using advanced CMOS and GaAs technologies. A number of researchers have worked as part of the team and moved to take senior technical positions in the industry and government agencies.

RMC is a member of the Canadian Microelectronics Corporation and has received recently the Synergy award from NSERC
