ABSTRACT |
|
RF
design remains such a mystery to many engineers that it seems that a
pointy hat and arcane incantations are needed to make oscillators
oscillate and amplifiers amplify (and not vice-versa). Part of the
mystery has to do with the many ways that ever-present parasitics
undergo surprising impedance transformations, as well as the sometimes
counterintuitive ways that noise manifests itself in both amplifiers and
oscillators. This talk will attempt to answer frequently-asked questions
about these and other RF-related topics. It is hoped that attendees will
ask additional questions that they would like answered.. |

PROF.
THOMAS H LEE (DARPA, Arlington, VA)
|
 |
Thomas H. Lee received the S.B.,
S.M. and Sc.D. degrees in electrical engineering, all from
the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in 1983, 1985, and 1990, respectively. He
joined Analog Devices in
1990 where he was primarily engaged in the design of
high-speed clock recovery devices. In 1992, he joined
Rambus Inc. in Mountain
View, CA where he developed high-speed analog circuitry for
500 megabyte/s CMOS DRAMs. He has also contributed to the
development of PLLs in the StrongARM, Alpha, and AMD
K6/K7/K8 microprocessors. Since 1994, he has been a
Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University
where his research focus has been on gigahertz-speed
wireline and wireless integrated circuits built in
conventional silicon technologies, particularly CMOS. He has
twice received the "Best Paper" award at the
International Solid-State
Circuits Conference, co-authored a "Best Student Paper"
at ISSCC, was awarded the Best Paper prize at CICC, and is a
Packard Foundation Fellowship recipient.

|
He served for a decade as an IEEE
Distinguished Lecturer of the Solid-State Circuits Society, and has been
a DL of the IEEE Microwave Society as well. He holds 57 US patents and
authored The Design of CMOS Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits
(now in its second edition), and Planar Microwave Engineering,
both with Cambridge University Press. He is a co-author of four
additional books on RF circuit design, and also cofounded Matrix
Semiconductor (acquired by Sandisk in 2006). He is the founder of ZeroG
Wireless. He is currently on leave from Stanford to serve as
Director of the MicroSystems Technology Office at DARPA in Arlington, VA. In early April of 2011, he was awarded the Ho-Am
Prize in Engineering (colloquially known as the "Korean Nobel"). |
