Circuit and Radio Systems

The field of circuit and radio systems covers a wide spectrum of both research topics and applications essential for a modern society.

The  Circuit and Radio Systems group performs research on design, modeling, verification, and testing of both individual circuits and larger systems. This includes both development of design methodologies and implementation of physical components and systems to be tested in laboratories and in real life environments. Starting with components designed as analog and digital circuits in CMOS, GaAs, and other technologies, it is possible to implement large systems, e.g., for radio communication, for embedded control of automotive and household equipment, for health and well-being, for space applications, and for microprocessors and general computing systems, to mention a few.

Through our research and education our group has the last three decades contributed substantially to the build-up of a multi-billion microelectronic design and radio system industry in Norway.
