ABSTRACT

Abstract

This presentation will address the design of compact multilevel folded-line components for embedded passive and RFIC applications. Several new topologies for directional couplers, branch line hybrids and bandpass filters in multiconductor multilevel folded line configuration will be presented. The emphasis of the presentation will be to arrive at a common design methodology suitable for a variety of components in folded line configuration. It will also include a brief description of the analytical procedure followed by some representative results. The talk will conclude with a presentation of experimental results as a part of the design validation and viewgraphs to give an idea about the compactness of the new geometries, as compared to the conventional configurations.

Biography

Raghu K. Settaluri earned his Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India in 1990. His primary technical interests are modeling and characterization of RF packages, interconnects and planar discontinuities, development of new, compact topologies for RF, microwave and millimeter-wave active and passive components and sub-systems. From 1986 to 1990, he was a Senior Scientific Officer-II in the Center for Applied Research in Electronics, Indian Institute of Technology. From 1991 to 1997, he was with Central Electronics Limited, Sahibabad, India, where he was a Senior Technical Manager and team leader in the Microwave Electronics Division. As a project manager for a number of prestigious projects, he was responsible for setting up a full-scale production facility for a variety of microwave components and sub-systems. In 1997, he worked as a Post Doctoral Fellow at the National University of Singapore. In 1998, Dr. Settaluri joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Oregon State University, Corvallis, USA, where he is currently working as an Associate Professor.
