The Center for Electronic Systems and Technology combined the expertise, resources, and capability of three universities--the University of Utah, BYU, and Utah State University--to serve the industrial community in electronic systems technology. The goal of the Center is to ensure that Utah industry can compete more effectively in the global market and to enhance the opportunities for Utah researchers to develop and commercialize their technologies

Electronic systems technologies include microelectronics, digital electronics, RF, microwave, millimeter wave electronics, as well as optoelectronics. The Center provides research, design, evaluation, and prototyping services to Utah businesses that need specialized help in developing new products or enhancing market strengths. Services provided to industry include access to test equipment, laboratory testing, fundamental research and technology development, market analysis, personnel, information, and strategic planning.

• Research contracts with a large number of technology-based companies were executed
