Semiconductor Electronics for High Power/High Speed Reconfigurable RF and Microwave Electronics
The microwave and RF design engineer always seeks to develop a design that will meet specifications the first time the circuit is fabricated. To do so requires that as many elements and phenomena as possible associated with the control devices and circuit be accurately modeled. In the case of Dr. Robert H. Caverlymicrowave and RF semiconductor control circuits, accurate modeling of the solid-state control components over frequency, voltage, current, and power is key to successful control system design. This talk will cover material providing the RF and microwave design engineer insight into the physical operation and modeling of PIN diodes and field-effect transistors (FETs) as control components and their use in microwave and RF control circuits. The talk will cover basic RF and microwave control circuits for reconfigurable electronics and then focus on linear and nonlinear behavior and models for PIN diode, MESFET, and MOSFET control elements to implement these circuits. The talk will conclude with examples of control circuits using these models in reconfigurable RF and microwave electronics.
Biography:
Dr. Robert H. Caverly received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, in 1983. He has been a faculty member at Villanova University in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering since 1997 and is a Full Professor. Previously, he was a Professor for more than 14 years at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Dr. Caverly's research interests are focused on the characterization of semiconductor devices such as PIN diodes and FETs in microwave and RF control environments. He has published more than 100 journal and conference papers. He is the author of the books Microwave and RF Semiconductor Control Device Modeling and CMOS RFIC Design Principles, both from Artech House. An IEEE Life Fellow, Dr. Caverly is the editor-in-chief of the IEEE Microwave Magazine and a Track Editor for the IEEE Journal of Microwaves. He is also an elected member of the MTT-S Administrative Committee and a member of the HF-VHF-UHF Technology and Biomedical Applications Technical Committees of the MTT Society.
