About author:Ruili Wu (ruili.wu@ttu.edu) received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Institute of Microelectronics, Tsinghua University, in 2010. He is currently working towards his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering at Texas Tech University. His current research is focused on the design of integrated PA circuits and systems for highly efficient, linear wideband polar transmitters in LTE-like wireless applications.
Jerry Lopez (jerry.lopez@ttu.edu.) received his B.S. and M.E. degrees at the University of California, San Diego, in 2001 and 2005. He is on track to receive his Ph.D. degree at Texas Tech University in August 2011. Mr. Lopez has worked for Northrop Grumman Corp. researching and developing the design of highly efficient PAs and polar modulators, including custom RFIC design. He has also worked for the US Navy, where he was a member of the RFIC design group. His research interests include design of analog/RF integrated circuits, such as highly integrated highly efficient CMOS PA/transmitter, and circuits and systems that are highly nonlinear.
Yan Li (yan.li@ttu.edu.) received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Southwest Jiao-Tong University, China, in 2007. He received his M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Texas Tech University in 2009. He is currently working towards his Ph.D. degree at TTU. His current research is focused on the design of highly-efficient and linear wideband polar transmitters with integrated PAs for mobile WiMAX/LTE wireless applications.
Donald Y.C. Lie (donald.lie@ttu.edu.) received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, in 1990 and 1995. He has held technical and managerial positions at Rockwell International, IBM, and Microtune Inc. He is currently the Keh-Shew Lu Regents Chair Associate Professor (tenured) in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas Tech University. He is also an adjunct associate professor in the Department of Surgery, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC). He has authored and coauthored approximately 120 peer-reviewed technical papers and book chapters and holds five U.S. patents. He and his students have won several Best Graduate Student Paper Awards in international conferences in 1994, 1995, 2006, 2008 (twice), 2010 (twice) and in 2011. His students have also won prestigious scholarships. Dr. Lie is the associate editor of IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters (MWCL) and was a guest editor of IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC) in 2009. His research interests include low-power RF/Analog integrated circuits and System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design and testing, and interdisciplinary research on medical electronics, biosensors, and bio-signal processing.
