Circuit-to-system expertise
Our work connects CMOS circuit design at millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz frequencies with link budgets, phase-noise models and hardware-aware communication analysis.
Research collaboration
Work with us on high-frequency circuits and systems.
We welcome collaborations with academic groups, research institutes and industry teams whose questions meet ours — from device characterization and circuit design to wireless system models and edge hardware.
Why Tokgöz Lab
Why collaborate with us?
Measurement-driven methods
