High Frequency Communication and Sensing

Ahmet Tekin is co-founder and chairman of Waveworks, Inc., Sunnyvale, California, USA. He holds a BS from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey; MS from North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro, USA; and Ph.D from the University of California Santa Cruz, USA. During his MS, he worked on a NASA transceiver project designing very low power radiation-hard silicon-on-insulator (SOI) complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuits. During his Ph.D, he designed a very low noise analog radio baseband with noise-shaping circuit techniques. He has worked for Multigig, Inc., Newport Media, Aydeekay LLC, Broadcom Corp., Semtech Corp., and Nuvoton Technology Corp.Ahmed Emira is manager of the Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) Group at the Newport Media, Inc. Egypt Design Center and associate professor at Cairo University, Giza, Egypt. He holds a BS and MS from Cairo University and a Ph.D from Texas A&M University, College Station, USA. Previously he worked as an RFIC design engineer at Motorola and at Silicon Laboratories, both in Austin, Texas, USA. He was also a senior RFIC design engineer and leader for the Power Management Team at Newport Media, Inc., Lake Forest, California, USA. He has more than 40 journal and conference publications and 5 US patents.
