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.
