Purpose and goal
Chase has been very successful in terms of scientific output as well as output of direct interest for the partner companies: 99 journal articles and 207 conference papers 16 journal articles and 32 conference papers co-authored with companies Mobile networks: Increased backhaul capacity, lower energy consumption Mobile communication: Improved over-the air measurement techniques Health care: New diagnostic tools, improved cancer therapies Automotive: Antennas, antenna performance evaluation methods Basic antenna technologies: Design methods for antenna arrays
Results and expected effects
Seven projects were started at the beginning of stage 3 (2012-2014). One of them was a one-year project (a stage 2 project that was finalized during 2012) and one project was started in year 2013. The results from these, in total eight projects, have had a profound impact on the R&D work of our industrial partners. The research in Chase has also resulted in a large number of journal articles and conference papers. Scientific papers play an important role for small high-tech companies, to improve credibility and making their new technologies acceptable in the market.
Approach and implementation
The partners in Chase represent a wide spectrum of companies, from small start-ups to large multinational companies, within Wireless, Remote Sensing and Medical Applications. The companies represent large variations in terms of applicability of the research results and of interaction with the academia. This challenge has developed into established knowledge transfer between the academy and companies. However, one has to realize that there will always be room for improvements of the transfer of results from the academia. Therefore, this will get an increased focus during stage 4.
