Organisation profile

Introduction / mission

Wired and wireless communication both comprise an analog front-end which can receive and transmit information. In this research area, we mainly focus on wireless communication at mmwave frequencies, both for high-data-rate and for ultra-low-power communication.

Organisation profile

The main technological challenges are in the high frequencies involved (from tens of GHz, up to the maximum frequencies that can be handled in advanced IC technology nodes), the ultra-low power performance, and high power efficiency.

In this RF and mmWave Frontend research area we are exploring amongst others:

 

  • High-frequency frontend modules, comprising LNAs, VCOs, mixers, amplifiers, filters, matching circuits, and power amplifiers
  • Frontends comprising on-chip antennas and matching networks
  • Power-efficient and linearized power amplifiers for non-constant envelope signals
  • Distributed amplifiers
  • Phased-array frontends
  • Adaptive, programmable and smart frontends
  • Distributed frontends
  • Opto-electronic high-data-rate systems
  • Ultra-low power frontend systems, up to protocols, and down to wake-up receivers

UN Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Our work contributes towards the following SDG(s):

  • SDG 3 - Good Health and Well-being
  • SDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy
