Both in analog and digital,Stanford and Berkeley are the foremost class
two.
UCLA is the third in analog/RF
Sodini's MIT is pretty good in analog but that group is not so large
so MIT is not very strong in this area compared to Stanford and Berkeley
UCSD is also strong in this area,
Dr.Song and Dr.Ian Galton is good at A/D,D/A
and Drs Larry Larson and Walter Ku is good at high speed compound RF IC.
CalTech is good especically after Dr.Ali Hijimiri joined its faculty in
1998.
Gatech is good but not so strong,but its digital IC is famous
and Dr.Meindl has been over 20 years at Stanford.
TAMU and Oregon State should also be in top10 in analog/RF
but seems the latter is stronger.Dr.Temes has been teaching about 30
years at UCLA and he is still active in teaching and research in this area at
Oregon State Univ.
UMich and UIUC is going down in this area.
Dr.Stephen Lewis and Hurst at UCDavis are pretty expertise on analog IC.
Columbia Univ.'s Integrated Systems lab is also good in analog IC
Iowa State, Ariza State and Ohio State also have such group but only one
or a couple of faculty so not very strong as a whole group.
By contrast,KULeuven can be competitive to UCLA.
Caltech 主要做CMOS PA,老師不多。
UCSB更偏向于CAD和傳統微波。
UCLA老師有几个,又作RF也有做analog方面
UCSD偏向于PA
USD主要是analog方面
