is a facility for investigating
nonlinear electronic circuit techniques that operates in close
collaboration with international research partners and industry.
Investigations probe the nature of distortion generation in
electronic communications circuits. Circuit design techniques and
component characterization for circuit simulation are feature results that
emphasize practical application.
Although the research emphasis is microwave devices and circuits for communication systems, the techniques and phenomena occur in a wide range of applications, from audio to optical and digital circuits.
CNERF develops tools for designing microwave transistor circuits with optimal performance. Device-circuit interaction directs this work to produce models implemented in a manner that predicts distortion in any circuit configuration. Techniques to extract and verify models are used to measure device and circuit characteristics. The combination of correct model implementation, an understanding of distortion generation, and correct measurement of device characteristics is essential to the development of accurate MESFET and HEMT models. This is work that enjoys proven success in the commercial sector.
