mmWave facility

University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta
What the facility does

RF. Microwave, and THz circuit and system designs

Areas of expertise

The mmWave facility is working on high frequency mixed integrated signal circuits, RF and THz integrated circuits, and  beamforming and antenna arrays. Some recent successful examples of our work include highly sensitive receiver systems and high-speed non-interleaved ADCs.
