Our research focuses on the design, simulation and measurement of
analog and radio-frequency integrated circuits in advanced IC
technologies. Our ongoing research projects are described in
the "Research" section. You can find
microphotographs of some of the chips we have designed in the "Chip Gallery".
In case you wonder: 'The electronic world is going digital,
why analog?', check out these quotes.
If you are interested in research projects for undergraduate
or M.S. students or in opportunities to join our group, check out the
"Prospective Students" section.

We will present two papers at the upcoming IEEE International
Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in Feb. 2010
entitled
"An Ultra-Low-Power Interference-Robust IR-UWB Transceiver
Chipset Using Self-Synchronizing OOK Modulation"
and "A
Low-power Low-noise Direct-Conversion Front End with Digitally
Assisted IIP2 Background Self Calibration". The second paper was
in collaboration with Toshiba.
Congratulations Marco, Chen,
Keith, Jorge and Yiping!

Frank Zhang received the 2009 Jury Award(link)
from the Electrical Engineering Department for his Ph.D. thesis "Ultra
Wideband Pulse Radio Receivers in Digital CMOS". The Jury Award was
established in 1991 for outstanding achievement by a graduate student
in the areas of system communication or signal processing.
