Ian A. Galton

Ian A. Galton is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (EE) at the University of California, San Diego. His research focuses on data converters, frequency synthesizers, clock-recovery systems, and digital signal processing techniques to mitigate non-ideal analog circuit behavior in mixed-signal integrated circuits. He manages the Integrated Signal Processing Group, which develops enabling technology for low-cost, highly integrated communication systems. Galton's work emphasizes the design and implementation of communication system blocks in CMOS technology. He has been a professor at UCSD since 1996 and previously worked at UC Irvine, Acuson, and Mead Data Central. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and has held various editorial and advisory roles within IEEE societies.

Ian Galton is a Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, specializing in mixed-signal IC design, signal processing, and calibration. His research focuses on advancing analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog conversion techniques, particularly in the context of wireless communications and RF signal processing. Galton's work includes the development of high-performance ADCs and PLLs with enhanced spectral purity and reduced phase noise. His publications explore digital cancellation techniques, delta-sigma modulation, and the integration of digital signal processing with analog circuits to improve system performance. His research has significant implications for mixed-signal systems in wireless transceivers and high-frequency communication applications.
