Research outputs and activities of the Supervisor

Research Group

Prof. Han Zhou’s research group conducts research on high-efficiency, wideband, and linear power amplifier architectures for future wireless transmitters; RF and millimeter-wave integrated circuits for 5G and 6G communications; AI- and deep learning-assisted design and synthesis of circuits and systems; and cryogenic RF circuit design for quantum computing readout.

Research Infrastructure

The group operates an RF and millimeter-wave laboratory equipped with an RF on-die probe station and advanced instrumentation, including wideband oscilloscopes, vector signal generators, and signal analyzers, with frequency support up to 100 GHz. The group also has access to RFIC and RF laboratories, advanced computing servers, and state-of-the-art EDA software. In addition, the group maintains close collaborations with the Microwave Electronics Laboratory and the Kollberg Laboratory at Chalmers University of Technology, which provide measurement capabilities up to 10 THz.
