Topic: Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits for Emerging Wireless
Technologies
Presenter: Vipul Jain, Senior Design Engineer, Sabertek
Date: Thursday, January 28, 2010
Time: 3 - 4 pm
Location: UCI McDonnell Douglas Engineering 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.
About the Speaker: 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.
