Analog and Mixed Design
Examines how to rapidly generate a Massive MIMO ASIC from system concept through to layout.
Integrated Circuits
Electronic-photonic Design
Investigates the applications of photonic-electronic architectures in mm-wave massive MIMO arrays, and demonstrate scalable photonic links to enable future systems.
High-datarate Basebands
Enables high-datarate, scalable, energy-efficient signal processing in multi-user MIMO systems.
High-power and High-efficiency Transmitters
Develops high-power and high-efficiency IC and packaging for basestation and picocell communication systems.
ICs for Long-range Links
Develops low-noise and high-power amplifiers to extend link range.
mm-wave Broadly-tunable Interference Tolerant Receivers
