Dr. Brian Floyd

Dr. Floyd is the Alton and Mildred Lancaster Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at NC State University.  He leads a research program in the areas of RF and millimeter-wave circuits and systems, organized as the iNtegrated Circuits and Systems lab at NC State (iNcs2 [rhymes with “NCSU”]). He also teaches graduate classes in analog, radio-frequency (RF), and millimeter-wave integrated circuit design. See more info on his bio here.

His research interests lie in the general areas of RF and millimeter-wave (mmWave) circuits and systems for wireless communications, imaging, and radar applications. Specific research topics include multi-Gb/s silicon phased-array transceivers, N-path filtering techniques, heterogeneous integration, digital beamforming, extreme wideband wireless architectures, mmWave imagers, low-cost radar, multi-function RF arrays, wireless technology for UAVs, and test and calibration of phased arrays.
