The High Speed Electronics Laboratory is currently working on the projects as highlighted below.
- Invented DiCAD (Digital Controlled Artificial Dielectric) embedded in CMOS metal interconnects that can vary transmission-line permittivity in real-time (up to X20) for (sub)-mm-wave frequency synthesis and software defined radios
- Invented a new class of Self-Healing Radio (57-64GHz) with self-diagnosis and self-healing capabilities to secure high performance yield and counter temperature/process variations & aging effects for remote satellite communication/sensing applications)
- Invented Multiband RF-Interconnect, beyond traditional baseband-only interconnect, to enable contactless and/or guided-wave (plastic waveguide) communications up to Terahertz with unprecedented bandwidth, efficiency, real-time re-configurability & multi-cast capabilities
- Realized 1st CMOS fully integrated frequency synthesizer (PLL) at 560GHz and set records in realizing 1st active and passive CMOS imagers at 110GHz; 3-color (349/201/53GHz) and 3D imagers for sensing concealed objects
- Created single-chip Spectrometer at 185 GHz and 350GHz Interferometer to enable NASA’s space missions with reduced mass (6.5X) & power (5.5X) to meet strict payload and power requirements
- Invented Re-configurable Convolution Neuron Network (RCNN) Accelerator for IoT and ADAS applications
