Smart Electronics and Systems

The vision of the chair is to look at different (sub-)systems and disciplines together and to research new design approaches and optimization methods that make it possible to design safe, trustworthy, interoperable and user-friendly electrical smart city systems in both public and private spaces.

In research and teaching, the LITES deals with the area of electronics engineering which is pivotal for electrical engineering, i.e. with hardware-oriented electronics. The scientific competences include nearly the entire food chain for the realization of circuits and systems, beginning with the modeling and the design of active and passive devices, modules and packages, proceeding to the design of monolithical or hybrid integrated RF/analog/mixed-signal circuits and the realization of complete electronic systems (including algorithms and software), and ranging to their evaluation in the laboratory as well as in the field. LITES has nearly all relevant design tools for the simulation on system, circuit and 3D-field (electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal and multi-physics) level as well as well-equipped laboratories from DC to over 320 GHz.
