Expert has experience reviewing patents of Linear Power Amplifier for Wireless and Wireline Applications. He has reviewed the entire Power Amplifier profolio for Alcatel-Lucent. He has designed Bipolar and CMOS RF Low Noise Amplifer for receivers and RF Power Amplifiers for transmitters in WiFi and Cordless Phones. The WiFi CMOS Transceiver was awarded in Computek. He has designed and resolved design issues in 20dBm 55% efficiency power amplifier for 900MHz Digital Spread Spectrum Cordless telephones. This product was shipped in high volume and generated multimillion dollars of revenue. He designed the 2.4GHz frontend for the industry first 2.4GHz Digital Cordless telephone transceiver.
He has lead transceiver projects and designed various blocks. He has worked on chips that use Direct Conversion, Low-IF, & Dual conversion architectures. He has hands on design experience in RF frontends, baseband filters, Wide-band programmable gain amplifiers, baseband amplifiers, up converters, RF power amplifiers, RF power amplifier drivers & power control circuitry. He has spreadheaded development of on chip voltage control oscillators while at Conextant. Expert has 9 issued patents, 4 patents related to voltage control oscillator (VCOs), 3 patents related to DC offset correction in receiver baseband section, 2 patents related to RF TV tuners. He has production ICs in Samsung and Sagem GSM cellular phones; Sony & Uiden Digital Cordless telephones; WiFi certified WLAN IEEE a/b/g combo.
Expert has worked on different mixed-signal circuits for wireless and hard disk driver channel ICs. He has designed numerous baseband filters; one of them is a 100KHz channel selection gm-C filter which is in production Sagem GSM phones. He has also works on various programmable filters for read channel disk drives. One of the 3V gm-C filters was presented in ESSCirC on Sept 1994 and it was published in JSSC on July 1995. He has designed sub micron CMOS Analog Intellectual property Circuits (IPs) for digital baseband Circuits, circuits such as crystal oscillators (XOSC), linear regulators, & power management circuits.
He has spreadheaded on chip VCO development while working at Conextant. Integrated VCOs reduced the cost of built of materials (BOMS), it brings about significant cost reduction to the handset market. He has contributed putting together a Company wide VCO pattern portfolio. He has 4 issued patents related to VCO design. He worked on LC VCOs, colpitts VCOs & crystal oscillators.
