Research Statement:
The electrical performance of mixed-signal integrated circuits strongly depends on the electromagnetic behavior of the components within the system. Future wireless and personal communication links will be strongly influenced by these considerations. In recent years, power distribution and parasitic noise control have become critical issues in the design of these MMICs; nowadays, with increased frequencies, interconnect schemes, layout and power distribution have become mainstream design issues. It is now recognized in the CAD community that electromagnetic effects will generally take place at the forefront and will represent the critical limiting factor of MMICs performance. Our research aims at providing solutions to these challenging problems by using new characterization methods and better analysis and design strategies.
