This research focuses on high-speed and energy-efficient IR-UWB wireless transceivers utilizing multi-dimensional modulation techniques. By combining Amplitude (PAM) and Phase (PSK) modulation schemes with a 65 nm CMOS process, the proposed system achieves multi-gigabit data transmission. The architecture also explores frequency-domain modulation extensions (FSK) to improve spectral efficiency for low-power wireless communication systems.
This research presents an integrated IR-UWB sensing and localization IC designed for 3D spatial estimation. By combining time-delay-based Tx beamforming and multi-array Rx architectures, the system enables simultaneous azimuth, elevation angle (AoA), and distance measurements. The ultra-low-power time-domain processing structure utilizes TDoA and TDC/DTC modules to achieve high precision with low power consumption.
This research proposes a sub-mW ultra-low-power wireless ISAC transceiver, enabling up to 100 Mbps data rates and sub-cm ranging precision. Utilizing S-OOK modulation and Two-Way Ranging (TWR), the system features a digital edge-combining Tx (<0.5 mW) and a non-coherent self-mixing Rx with a Two-Step Vernier TDC (<3 ps resolution) in the 6.5–8.0 GHz band. The integrated single-module architecture also supports seamless switching to standalone radar mode for uncooperative targets.
This research focuses on GaN and compound semiconductor RF IC designs engineered for extreme operational environments. By employing linearization techniques and radiation-aware bias compensation circuits, the proposed designs enhance linearity and reliability in power amplifiers and LNAs. These systems leverage wide bandgap characteristics for high-power, high-efficiency RF front-end modules.

Our laboratory officially started the Fall 2026 semester in Jeju, blending our semester kick-off with the 2026 RF/Analog Workshop. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to gather new insights, get inspired, and return fully recharged—ready to tackle another productive semester!
We have successfully wrapped up the first semester here at ARCS LAB.
It was a crucial semester for establishing our initial IP, and thanks to the hard work and dedication of our lab family, I believe we've laid a fantastic foundation for our lab's future growth.
This 2026 spring semester is the real starting point for our ARCS Lab.
Let's all give it our best to do meaningful research and get great results!
