This work is based on a collaboration between the Georgia Tech GEMS Lab and Intel Labs.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere is an increasing interest in developing mixed-signal power amplifiers\/transmitters in CMOS and employing them in next-generation wireless communication platforms. Such mixed-signal power amplifiers\/transmitters explore the unparalleled computation capabilities in CMOS and leverage them to enhance large-signal radio-frequency performance, such as peak efficiency, back-off efficiency, and linearity. Park\u0027s paper exploits this mixed-signal power amplifier\/transmitter design philosophy, and it proposes and demonstrates the world\u2019s first highly linear digital polar power amplifier in a standard 65nm bulk CMOS process. The power amplifier is capable of operating at dual-frequencies without any band-selection switch or tuning element. Park\u0027s IC chip achieves the state-of-the-art performance of +28.1dBm\/+26.0dBm power amplifier output power with 40.7%\/27.0% drain efficiency at 2.6\/4.5GHz. Mixed-signal linearization techniques allow the power amplifier to amplify a 256-QAM signal with 2.05%\/1.03% EVM and +21.51dBm\/+19.27dBm average output power at 2.35\/4.7GHz.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELi\u2019s award-winning paper is entitled \u0022A 2-24GHz 360-Degree Full-Span Differential Vector Modulator Phase Rotator with Transformer-Based Poly-Phase Quadrature Network,\u0022 co-authored with Park and Hua Wang. This work is based on a collaboration between the Georgia Tech GEMS Lab and the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of the major challenges in modern broadband phased-array systems is the synthesis of high-precision, phase-shifted radar signals for high-quality beam-forming. Existing broadband phase-shifting approaches often require frequency-dependent calibration tables or tuning elements, which inevitably complicate their use in in-field defense applications. Moreover, no reported designs can perform high-precision 360-degree phase shifting over a decade-wide bandwidth.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELi\u0027s paper addresses this unmet challenge by proposing and demonstrating a broadband vector modulator phase rotator based on a novel transformer-based polyphase network, achieving a first-ever decade-wide instantaneous bandwidth (2GHz-24GHz). The phase rotator is implemented in a standard 65nm bulk CMOS process.

The undergraduate degree will combine the five-year, B.S.\/M.S. degree program and undergraduate thesis option, allowing students to build a foundation for an eventual M.S. thesis. The graduate program will build on the highly successful multidisciplinary robotics Ph.D. program at Georgia Tech. \u201cWe\u2019re excited about this opportunity to further enhance and grow our world-class educational programs in robotics,\u201d said Kemp, who has served on the robotics Ph.D. program\u2019s leadership team since its inception in 2007.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022normal\u0022\u003EA sampling of these courses include:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022normal\u0022\u003E\u2022\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Interfacing Engineering and Rehabilitation, taught by Trumbower, engages both engineering and clinical students. They will learn equally from clinical experts about their target demographics and the issues they face and from engineering faculty about how robotics can address these challenges.

In recent years, GaN, a wide bandgap semiconductor compound from the III-V groups in the periodic table, has received much attention due to its ability to handle high power and operate at microwave- and millimeter-wave frequencies. Therefore, power amplifiers (PAs) made with GaN technology are characterized by large power densities and have been traditionally wire-bonded on high thermal conductivity substrates, such as copper (Cu) or aluminum nitride (AlN). These materials are expensive and\/or lossy, which can limit the overall system\u0027s performance. On the other hand, liquid crystal polymer (LCP), an organic laminate that is low-cost, ultra thin (down to 25 microns), near hermetic, and low-loss up to 170 GHz has been overlooked due to its poor thermal conductivity.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the team\u0027s work, this thermal limitation is overcome through using a multi-layer stack-up of LCP that permits a GaN device or MMIC to be encapsulated within the package structure, while simultaneously attaching the backside of the chip to a heatsink. Moreover, the chip is flip-chip bonded instead of wire-bonded, reducing interconnect parasitics and improving wideband performance. The thermal performance of the package and its impact on device reliability were evaluated using a combination of infrared (IR) temperature and pulsed current-voltage (I-V) measurements. Ultimately, the full potential of this package was demonstrated through the design, fabrication, and characterization of an X-Band (8-12 GHz) PA. At 10.2 GHz, the PA showed a power added efficiency (PAE) of 38% and saturated output power (PSAT) of 5.4W under continuous-wave (CW) operation, or 49% PAE and 7W PSAT when pulsed at 50% duty cycle.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis is the first time that an encapsulated flip-chip based package using organics has been demonstrated for reliable and high-power operation of GaN amplifiers. With the thermal and RF performance of this package verified, future work will focus on the design of a wideband PA in order to leverage the advantages of the flip-chip interconnect.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis team\u2019s paper was also recognized as a top four finalist for the overall EuMC Microwave Prize for the best contributed paper to the conference.

Previous high school internships at Air Force Research Labs at Tyndall Air Force Base in her hometown of Panama City, Florida, sparked her love of science, but work on the Pyrocopter project, a robotic helicopter that shot flaming paint balls in order to do controlled burns in forest areas, ignited her interest in robotics.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs an undergraduate computer engineering major, English joined the Opportunity Research Scholars (ORS) program in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Georgia Tech. The ORS program is an academic enrichment program that matches two or three undergraduate ECE students with a Ph.D. mentor. Undergraduate students broaden on their coursework and apply their skills to real research projects under the guidance of a faculty advisor and graduate mentor during the course of their studies.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAlready fascinated by robotics and space applications from her work at Tyndall, English chose an ORS project in Professor Ayanna Howard\u2019s lab. Her team developed software that allowed a robot to create high-definition topographic maps of Mars and other locations where GPS isn\u2019t an option. When English decided to attend graduate school, the in-depth research under Howard\u2019s tutelage caused her to narrow her focus to robotics, in particular rehabilitative and assistive robotics\u2014a specialization of Professor Howard\u2019s, who now serves as English\u2019s Ph.D. advisor.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENow English\u2019s graduate research is an ORS project and she is mentoring a fresh new crop of ECE undergraduates.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWhen I was an undergraduate, I benefitted greatly from the ORS program.

To date, the technique has been used to study whole-body movements using many different platforms including beds, chairs, weighing scales, and force plates. More recently, with the advent of small, low-power microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers, BCG has been applied to local vibrations of the body with signals from wearable sensors. In particular, the ability to measure cardiac function with BCG from a wrist-mounted accelerometer is of high interest due to the introduction of smartwatches. However, despite several studies that have been conducted with wearable BCG, there is a lack of fundamental understanding of the physiology and mechanics that produce these wearable, localized signals. For example, body composition, the coupling between the wearable sensor and the skin, the orientation of the sensor, the location on the body where the sensor is placed, and the type of sensor are all presumed to affect the signal morphology.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo bridge this gap, we report a technique we developed to identify a linear time-invariant filter to transform a wearable BCG signal measuring local movements of the skin into a whole-body BCG measurement from a training, or calibration, step. A human subjects study was conducted to test this method with signals from an accelerometer placed on three locations on the body acquired simultaneously with BCG measured with a modified weighing scale. We found that the regularized system identification approach we present in this paper improved the quality of several widely-accepted BCG time and amplitude measurements during cross validation.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo read the entire article, visit the \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/ieeexplore.ieee.org\/xpl\/login.jsp?tp=\u0026amp;arnumber=7001053\u0026amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fstamp%2Fstamp.jsp%3Ftp%3D%26arnumber%3D7001053\u0022\u003EIEEE Xplore Digital Library\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThis article was written by Omer T.

A common example of a plasma is what is inside your fluorescent light bulb. It results when you put a high voltage across a gas, which rips apart the molecules. When that happens, a plasma can conduct electricity, much the way metal does (most antennas are built out of metal). But, unlike metal, the plasma can be turned off quickly, simply by shutting off the voltage.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUsing the ability to turn a plasma on and off very quickly, and doing it in just the right fashion, Cohen and his team can control the properties of the antenna quickly enough to boost the efficiency of a low frequency antenna, even when it is rather small.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Assistant Professor Morris B.

With miniaturization of the device and interconnect dimensions for over four decades, the backend-of-the-line (BEOL)\u0026nbsp;RC\u0026nbsp;delay became a critical factor in determining the performances of modern electronic chips.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe resistivity of copper wires increases rapidly at small dimensions due to increasing electron scattering at the grain boundaries and surfaces. This adverse impact of scaling on the resistance, hence delay of wires, prevents fully exploiting the improvement in the intrinsic device performance.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this paper, the team built multiple predictive standard cell and interconnect libraries down to the 7-nm technology node to enable early investigation of the electronic chip performance using commercial electronic design automation tools.

Jenkins then joined the Kepler Mission Team in 1995.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESince its launch in March 2009, the Kepler Mission has detected more than 4,000 candidate planets in orbit around other stars, or exoplanets for short. More than 1,000 of those exoplanet candidates have since been confirmed. These discoveries have revolutionized humanity\u2019s view of Earth\u2019s place in the universe by unveiling a whole new side of our Milky Way galaxy \u2013 one that is teeming with planets.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a result of Kepler\u2019s discoveries, scientists are confident that most stars have planets and that Earth\u2019s galaxy may host tens of billions of Earth-sized planets that reside in a distant star\u0027s \u201chabitable zone,\u201d the region around a star where liquid water might exist on the surface of an orbiting planet. The Kepler Mission is also establishing a foundation for future studies of exoplanet atmospheres that could eventually answer the question of whether or not we are alone in the universe.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Kepler space telescope infers the existence of an exoplanet, by measuring the amount of starlight blocked when it passes or transits in front of its parent star. From these data, a planet\u0027s size in radius, orbital period in Earth years, and the amount of heat energy received from the host star can be determined.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDuring its prime mission, Kepler simultaneously and continuously measured the brightness of more than 150,000 stars for four years, looking for the telltale dimming that would indicate the presence of an orbiting planet. In May 2014, Kepler began a new mission, K2, to observe a series of fields along the ecliptic plane, the orbital path of the Earth about the sun, where the familiar constellations of the zodiac lie. This new mission provides scientists with an opportunity to search for even more exoplanets, as well as new opportunities to observe notable star clusters, young and old stars, active galaxies, and supernovae. The spacecraft continues to collect data in its new mission.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAdditional information about the group photo:\u003C\/strong\u003E Gen.

His college career has been punctuated by his involvement in several extracurricular organizations that spread the Georgia Tech love to new and current students alike. Chang started working with FASET (Familiarization and Adaptation to the Surroundings and Environs of Tech), which is an orientation program for new students and their families, during the summer after his sophomore year. From there, he steadily became involved in more activities such as Wreck Camp, an extended orientation experience for new students designed to help jumpstart the college experience, and GT 1000, The Georgia Tech first year seminar.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen he isn\u2019t helping new students get acclimated to the Tech experience, he is busy spreading school cheer to the student body, alumni, and the greater Georgia Tech family through the Ramblin\u2019 Reck Club, an organization of students founded in 1930 that is committed to the education and promotion of Tech spirit, history, and tradition. In addition to organizing spirit-related events and upholding Tech traditions like Homecoming and T-Book, the Reck Club performs one of the most important functions on campus: maintaining the Ramblin\u2019 Wreck.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis year, Chang added Georgia Tech Cheerleading to his portfolio of spirit-related commitments.

When he moved from New York to Savannah, Georgia to attend Armstrong Atlantic State University (AASU), he noticed that lacrosse wasn\u2019t as popular in the South. He was disappointed to find that AASU didn\u2019t have a team, but felt he lacked the influence and know-how to change things.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cI was thinking there wasn\u2019t any possible way this kid from New York could just come down and start a team,\u201d Timperio said.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHe quickly put his urge to start one on the backburner in order to acclimate to his new environment and focus on schoolwork. Once Timperio settled in, he joined a local club called Savannah Schlitz where he gained new skills and enjoyed the camaraderie of working with a team toward a common goal. With that experience under his belt, he felt confident enough to take the plunge and see what it would take to start a team at AASU. He paired up with another northeastern transplant named Gregory Muller and they jumped into the process.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cWe studied the ins and outs of creating a sport club team, recruited players, talked to administrators, scheduled fundraisers, wrote a constitution, and petitioned for the new AASU lacrosse team to become a registered sports organization. From the time we started the process to the time I left Armstrong to transfer to Tech, the team had grown to more than 20 players with funding from the school for uniforms, equipment, and travel,\u201d Timperio said.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMoving from AASU to Georgia Tech, Timperio went from a big fish in a small sea to being swallowed up by rigorous courses and a well-established lacrosse program.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u201cI knew the workload at Tech would be tougher than AASU and the lacrosse program would now be in the big leagues.

While there, he had the opportunity to meet and train with lacrosse teams from all over Europe including groups in Rome and Belgrade, as well as German teams from Kaiserslautern, Saarbrucken, Trier, and Munich. Over a weekend trip to Serbia, Timperio met and played with the Belgrade Zombies. He became fast friends with the group as they played lacrosse and toured the city.

The key feature of silicon interposer-based systems is the use of legacy CMOS processes to form a dense array of fine-pitch electrical wires (and silicon photonics in some cases)\u0026nbsp;on a silicon substrate to interconnect heterogeneous integrated circuits; in essence, future \u0022advanced packaging\u0022 will\u0026nbsp;highly leverage\u0026nbsp;silicon CMOS based processes.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHowever, the interposer-based interconnection is only a partial solution to the rapidly growing chip-to-chip bandwidth requirement, because an interposer size is limited by both technical and economical constraints, and in turn, it ultimately limits the size and the number of chips that can be assembled on top. Eventually, multiple interposers may become necessary, and high-bandwidth interconnections between interposers will become vital in providing a high-performance large-scale system.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo this end,\u0026nbsp;a\u0026nbsp;large-scale contiguous all-silicon system platform has been proposed and demonstrated. In\u0026nbsp;this paper, three silicon interposer tiles are aligned and mounted on a printed wiring board (PWB), and two silicon bridges are aligned and mounted on top of the three interposer tiles; each silicon bridge spans two interposer tiles. Four positive self-alignment structures and four inverted pyramid pits self-align a tile to the PWB and a bridge to two tiles. Mechanically \ufb02exible interconnects (MFI) form nonbonding electrical connections between the three interposer tiles and two silicon bridges. Pointy tips on the MFIs form low contact resistance with the pads on the silicon bridges. A small\u0026nbsp;alignment error is demonstrated between the interposer tiles, which is critical for silicon photonic

At this time, existing sensors and actuators can only process electrochemical signals from cells. However, cells are highly complex systems that have numerous molecules operating in hundreds of pathways to maintain proper functions and phenotypes. At this scale of complexity, cells often undergo multi-physics responses all at once, which cannot be explored by single-modality platforms. This constraint poses a fundamental limit on the communication link between the electronics and cells\/tissues. Many sensors and actuators also require exotic processing steps, limiting their cost, yield, and scalability in mass production.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo address these challenges, Wang\u2019s NSF CAREER project focuses on innovating sensor\/actuator technologies as large-scaled arrays with novel pixel-level multi-modality sensing\/actuation functionalities. These microelectronics interfaces allow interrogating and stimulating living cells\/tissues via multi-physics signaling at a high spatiotemporal resolution. Low-cost CMOS processes, widely used for manufacturing CPU and memory chips, will be employed to ensure high-integration, low-cost, and high-yield.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe proposed CMOS multi-modality cellular interfacing platform will lead to broad societal impacts.

It has five directional thrusters for motion, two cameras, sonars, a conductivity-temperature sensor, a depth sensor, and an altimeter.
