[UCI-Calit2] Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits for Wireless Technologies

[Anna Lynn Spitzer]

Title:               Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits for Emerging
Wireless Technologies

 

Speaker:           Vipul Jain, Sabertek, Inc., Irvine, Calif.

Time:              3-4 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 28, 2010

Location:        McDonnell-Douglas Auditorium

  

Abstract:

During the last decade, silicon has all but displaced
compound-semiconductor (III-V) technologies in the cellular, wireless
LAN and other consumer electronics markets. With continuous
technological advancements, silicon is now set to sweep the next
wireless wave: low-cost, high-performance millimeter-wave integrated
systems. Affordable consumer electronics products promising
multi-gigabit-per-second wireless data rates are on the horizon, while
automotive radars and imaging sensors are in the pipeline. In the
foreseeable future, silicon-based solutions will revolutionize the
millimeter-wave application space. 

 

This talk will include an overview of the emerging applications in the
millimeter-wave spectrum, and the accompanying challenges and
opportunities. Recent developments in the industry and the research
community, including the Nanoscale Communication IC Lab (directed by
Prof. Payam Heydari) at UC Irvine, will also be highlighted.

 

 

Speaker's Biography:

Vipul Jain received the B. Tech. degree in electronics engineering from
Kamla Nehru Institute of Technology, India, in 2004, and the M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University
of California, Irvine, in 2007 and 2009, respectively. During the summer
of 2008, he was a research intern at the IBM T. J. Watson Research
Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, where he worked on integrated circuits for
millimeter-wave imaging. He has also held internships at Fujitsu
Laboratories of America and Skyworks Solutions. In 2009, he joined
Sabertek, Irvine, as a senior design engineer. His current research
interests include silicon-based IC design for millimeter-wave wireless
communication, automotive radars and passive imaging applications. He
was the recipient of the 2009 EECS Ph.D. Dissertation Fellowship and the
2005 CPCC Fellowship at UC Irvine. He was also a member of the team that
won the 2009 Business Plan Competition at the Paul Merage School of
Business, UC Irvine.
