In this laboratory, we are now focusing our researches on the following areas:
- High speed, high linearity and low noise system LSI components for wireless communications systems.
- Wideband RF front-end components for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications.
- Digital Radio or Digital RF Processor and its system components i.e. Digitally assisted RF/Analog circuits such as ADPLL (All-digital phase locked loop), DCO (digitally-controlled oscillators), sampling mixers, digital controlled PA and LNA etc. for Software defined radio or other reconfigurable applications.
- Electrically small antennas for narrow band and UWB applications.
- Interconnection and packaging technology of a chip to an antenna to reduce parasitic components.
- RF micro energy harvesting circuit for medical application
