Presenter: Prof. Ali Niknejad, UC Berkeley  Title: Teaching CMOS to Surf mm-Waves

Abstract: This talk will highlight seven years of research at the Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC) related to mm-wave electronics. Active and passive design techniques, circuit approaches, and system architecture for short range mm-wave communication links will be discussed. The design of several key building blocks, such as the LNA, mixer, and PA will be highlighted.

Biography: Ali M. Niknejad received the B.S.E.E. degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1994, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1997 and 2000. From 2000-2002 he worked in industry where he was involved with the design and research of CMOS RF integrated circuits and devices for wireless communication applications. Presently he is an associate professor in the EECS department at UC Berkeley. He is a co-director of the Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC) and also the co-director of the BSIM Research Group. He served as an associate editor of the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits and is currently serving on the TPC for the International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC). His current research interests lie within the area of RF/microwave and mm-wave integrated circuits, particularly as applied to wireless and broadband communication circuits. His interests also include device modeling and numerical techniques in electromagnetics.
