Keywords: bipolar and CMOS circuits, transconductors, ADC's, LNA's, filters, mixers and power amplifiers

In the Integrated Circuit Design group (ICD-group) we do research on integrated transceiver hardware in CMOS technology. This includes transmitters and receivers for wireless and wireline communication systems. We develop innovative analog and mixed signal IC design techniques to further digitize these systems, so that they can be integrated on a chip at high performance and low cost. Also Research is carried out on alternative Radio Systems as well as Microwave Integration. The ICD group addresses their challenges in close cooperation with the industry, in order to find fundamental solutions for practical problems.
