On-Chip Metrology for the mm-Wave Revolution

Due: May 1, 2025

$82,764

Description

To perform as intended, modern electronics—transistors, amplifiers, mixers, etc.—must simultaneously control large-amplitude electrical signals at up to ten harmonics of the operating frequency. Engineering this control requires test equipment to generate larger-amplitude diagnostic signals with precisely known and controlled magnitudes and phases at these harmonics. Currently, large-amplitude electrical test instrumentation is stuck below roughly 40 GHz, forcing manufacturers to design modern high-frequency electronics by trial-...

Grantor Contact InformationNathan Daniel Orloff, 303.497.4938Grantor Emailorloff@nist.govOther Grantor InformationThe NRC Research Associateship Programs (RAP) are prestigious postdoctoral and senior research awards designed to provide promising scientists and engineers with high-quality research opportunities at federal laboratories and affiliated institutions. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Fellowships Office since 1954, these programs offer a comprehensive research experience through a rigorous selection process. The programs aim to: 1) Offer promising postdoctoral and senior scientists/engineers the chance to pursue self-directed research aligned with sponsoring laboratories' goals, 2) Enhance comprehensive research efforts of participating laboratories, 3) Provide recent doctoral graduates a platform for focused research collaboration with permanent laboratory staff, and 4) Foster professional growth by providing opportunities to gain skills, experience, and connections with leading scientists, ultimately enhancing career prospects in academia, industry, or government research roles. The programs provide mentorship, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities to influence government policy.
