Electronic Circuits and Systems and Electronic Devices and Materials
Professor Larson joined the faculty at UC San Diego in 1996 after a 16 year career at Hughes Research Laboratories. He pioneered the development of analog integrated circuits and low-noise HEMTs in III-V technology, as well as microwave intergrated circuits in SiGe HBT technology. He has published over 80 papers in refered journals and international conferences, written several book chapters, edited one book for Artech House, and has 15 patents.

Current Research

High-speed integrated circuit design in InP, GaAs, and Si technology, low-power circuit design for wireless communications, improved packaging technology for high-speed integrated circuits, applications for micromachining technology to integrate circuit design, RF design techniques for wireless communication, millimeterwave technology


Honors and Distinctions
  • Senior Member, IEEE, co-winner of 1996 Hughes Electronics Lawrence Hyland Patent Award, and 1995 Sector Patent Award. Dr. Larson has been appointed to be the first holder of the Communications Industry Professorship endowed chair.
