Research Activities

Investigated the use of novel CMOS-based microwave and millimeter wave technologies in developing high performance phased array antenna (PAA) based transceiver systems

Designed, implemented and characterized an 11-channel Ka-band CMOS-based Phased Array Antenna Transmitter System. The system includes the following components:

26-40 GHz CMOS (TSMC 0.18 μm) Wideband Feedback Amplifier
10-40 GHz CMOS (TSMC 0.18 μm) SPDT Switch
Ka-Band & 60 GHz PCB Rotman Lens
Ka-Band & 60 GHz Slot Dual Dipole Antenna Array with Mini-lens

Designed a 24 GHz CMOS (IBM 0.13 μm) LNA

Investigated Slow Wave Structure
