December 8, 2015 Susquehanna Section/Signal Integrity Chapter Dinner/Presentation: Penn State Signal Integrity Center and its Associated Research

Penn State Signal Integrity Center and its Associated Research
Signal integrity is defined as the engineering field that analyzes electrical interconnects with the overall goal of improving the design, reliability and performance of digital systems that work at high data rates. It is well-known that modern hardware systems require working with digital signals at bit-rates between a few megabits per second up to 40 gigabits per second.
In this talk, the research role of the Center for Signal Integrity, Penn State Harrisburg particularly in temperature and humidity effects in PCB boards is presented. Environmental issues are very important to the signal integrity (SI) community since they have a profound effect in the performance of communications systems. In this talk, relative humidity and temperature effects on PCB boards with differential signaling and single mode are explored. Of particular interest is mode conversion in differential signaling since this increases unwanted RF radiation. Time permitting, we will also discuss a new jitter algorithm.

Speakers
Aldo Morales of PSU Harrisburg
Penn State Signal Integrity Center and its Associated Rsearch
Dr. Aldo Morales has been a faculty member at Penn State Harrisburg (PSH) since August 2001 and is currently a professor of the Electrical Engineering and Electrical Engineering Technology programs. Prior to joining PSH, he taught at Penn State DuBois. In addition, he was a Teaching Assistant and then Research Assistant at the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY-Buffalo). He is a senior IEEE Member and IEEE 2015- 2016 Distinguished Lecturer (Regional), consumer electronic society.
Dr. Aldo Morales earned his B.S. in Electronic Engineering, with distinction, from Northern University (now University of Tarapaca), Arica, Chile in 1978. Dr. Morales obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering, from SUNY-Buffalo, in 1986 and 1990, respectively. His research interests are in signal integrity, mathematical morphology, digital image processing, computer vision, and neural networks. Dr. Morales was honored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) with the Best Paper Award at the International Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems for the paper “Basis Matrix Representation of Morphological Filters with N-Dimensional Structuring Elements” 1996; Best poster paper award at the IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics 2007, Las Vegas, Nevada, for the paper " Transmitter Pre-emphasis and Adaptive Receiver Equalization for Duobinary Signaling in Backplane Channels'' ; Best paper award finalist: “A Rapid Prototyping of FPGA-BasedDuobinaryTransmitter/Receiver for HighSpeed Electrical BackplaneTransmission,” Proc. of Designcon 2013, January 28-January 31, 2013. Santa Clara, CA.Penn State Engineering Society’s Outstanding Teaching Award, Penn State University, 1999, and Educator of the Year Award, Penn State University-DuBois Campus, May 1998.
