上海大学微波与无线电通信学科拥有“电磁场与微波技术”和“通信与信息系统”2个博士授权点.自1972年原上海科技大学开始创办无线通信专业至今，在国家高技术研究发展计划（863计划）项目、国家自然科学基金项目等国家级项目和上海市科委以及企业委托项目的支持下，开展了双极化多波段微带天线阵、小型化和超宽带（ultra-wide band,UWB）天线、微波输能技术、通信信号处理、微波通信、限定空间无线电通信以及各类无线通信系统的研究，其中的许多研究成果在国内处于先进水平，在国际学术界具有一定的知名度.

Shanghai University has two doctoral programs in microwave and wireless communications: Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Technology, and Communication and Information Systems. Since 1972 when the former Shanghai University of Science and Technology started an undergraduate program of wireless communications, supported by many national and municipal programs such as 863 and national nature science foundation of China, a wide range of research projects have been carried out in such areas as dual-polarization multi-band arrays, miniaturization of microstrip antenna, ultra-wide band (UWB) microstrip antenna, microwave power transmission, communication signal processing, microwave communications, communications in confined space, and updated types of wireless communications. Many accomplishments are ranked among the top of the country and have attracted much attention from the international academic community. This article presents the development of the discipline and major research achievements.
