 <\/p>\n

Tony Long<\/a> and I designed and built a 24 GHz low noise amplifier<\/a> for our ECE192 undergraduate independent study project at UCSD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The amplifier was designed with an early version of Agilent ADS, PCBs were fabricated on Rogers 5880 (Duroid), and we hand built several prototypes on K-connector fixtures that Tony designed. Measured results<\/a> were consistent with our simulations.<\/p>\n

Tony and I won an award for this project at the Eureka! undergraduate research conference in June 2000.<\/p>\n

I heard recently that this project is being used as an example of a good EE senior design project at other universities, so I dug up an original copy of the paper we submitted and posted a PDF here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
