Research at the Chair of Circuit Design and Network Theory

As a leading chair in the field of integrated circuit technology, Prof. Ellinger's research group contributes its expertise in analog and mixed-signal circuit design to numerous research projects. The research focuses on fast, adaptive and highly efficient circuits. On the one hand, modern, highly scaled semiconductor technologies are used for this purpose. On the other hand, alternative Beyond Moore and printed circuits are used. In addition to the classic high-frequency circuit design, the chair's work also includes simulation, modeling, measurement and basic system design and connection technology.

The research projects include individual and collaborative projects as well as national and international projects funded by, for example, the Saxon State Ministry for Science and the Arts, the German Research Foundation, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the European Commission and industry. The professorship is also very active in the coordination and project management of large research projects.

The research of the professorship is divided into eight working groups with the following main topics:
 

• Millimeter wave circuit design
• Beyond Moore circuit design
• Organic and bio-electronic circuit design   
• Circuit design for optical communication    
• Positioning and radar systems    
• Control and mixed signal circuit design   
• RFIC Frontend Design
