Munich, Bavaria, Germany

Active member of the module team, involved in design and development of RFFE modules for various mobile phone platforms.Designed and developed various multi-band FEMiD, PAMiD, and Diversity modules, with complex architectures to support CA performance.Involved in design optimization of filters, duplexers and quadplexers based on technologies like SAW, BAW, to achieve a high production yield while maximizing RF performance in RFFE Modules. Involved in formulating specifications for silicon level components like RF Switches, LNAs, PAs and controller dies, which can later be integrated into complex CA enabled multi-band front end modules. Supported in characterization of various acoustic filters, RFFE components and modules with small-signal measurements, high-power measurements, Non-linear measurements for IMD and Compression point.
