Research in Electronics Systems

The research within the Electronics Systems division is directed towards design and implementation for analog and digital signal processing and telecommunication systems. This includes all design levels starting from specification, system architecture, algorithms, mapping to hardware structures, arithmetic, logic circuits all the way down to integrated circuit design. The focus is on algorithms and hardware architectures for application specific and algorithm-specific digital signal processing and communication subsystems with low energy consumption and stringent requirements on the computational capacity. Examples include digital filters, filter banks, transforms, and error-correcting decoders. The research also encompass techniques for digital enhancement and automated design of analog and mixed signal circuits.
