PARfC Mission
T
he mission of the PRISM consortium is to
encourage the pursuit of knowledge of current and
developing RF systems and developing cutting-edge
science and technology to improve the process,
materials and the strategic placement of RF in
the business workplace. In addition, the
consortium will provide a stimulating and
state-of-the-art education in RF for students
both resident at and distant from ASU. The
consortium will serve the corporate needs of ASU
and its industry partners.
