Analog/RF Design Engineer, Axess Europe
Hi,
I am an Analog/RF Design Engineer for Axess Europe Toulouse.
I work with the RF design team in order to develop the complete RX/TX chain for satellite-airplane communications.
I'm a hard worker and I like the everyday challenge that the RF world gives you at each new step of the design!
The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender ;-)
24 contactsDesign of multiple Analog/RF blocks for the RX/TX chain needed for satellite-airplane communications in BiCMOS technology.
2007 - 2010- Study and design of BIST strategies to lower wafer test costs of RF systems
- Design of a VCO for WiMAX applications (3.6GHz)
- Design of a LDO to suppress noise on the power suppy that could increase the phase noise of the VCO
- Design of a CMOS temperature and supply voltage independent voltage reference
- Behavioral simulations and design of a Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC)
- Design of different on-chip detectors
- Layout in CMOS 65nm
2006 - 2006Minimization of intermode conversions in balanced circuits; application to the design of an improved active balun
