Circuits and Systems

A brief introduction

The research area of the Circuits and Systems group covers the theory and applications of circuits and systems, signal processing, and VLSI circuit and system design methodology.

The complexity of electronic circuits is ever increasing, and so is their design. Two drivers are (i) already phenomenal integration densities are still doubling every 18 months (Moore's law), and (ii) new advanced applications require integrated solutions with increased intelligence and immense processing power. The main goal in our research program is to provide a sound mathematical framework for synthesis and analysis problems in the complete trajectory from system application, algorithm design, mapping to a hardware architecture or embedded system, VLSI circuit design, and finally the design verification.

Our system applications are taken from several areas that require new mathematical insights, eg. wireless communications, distributed networks, radio astronomy and biomedical applications, and we limit ourselves to the central signal processing aspects of these. The objective is to develop efficient signal processing algorithms and to compile these onto embedded systems and the underlying physical circuits. The new insights are incorporated in design tools and actual designs.

The group participates in DIMES and the TU Delft ICT research center, and NIRICT, the Netherlands Institute for Research in ICT (an institute in the context of the 3TU Federation of the three Technical Universities in The Netherlands). Organizationally, the group is embedded in the Department of Micro-electronics and Computer Engineering of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EWI).

Geert Leus appointed Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (Full) Professor

On 26 Sept 2012, the Board of Directors of TU Delft has decided to appoint Geert Leus as Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Professor in the CAS group. This is a `personal' full professorship aimed to promote young, excellent academics to Professor at an early age so that they can develop their academic careers to the fullest possible extent.
