RF MMIC characterization / validation (Receiver): o Develop and execute tests using Matlab, on characterization boards of RF key parameters (Gain, NF, P1dB, Phase Balance, Amplitude Balance, SFDR 1 tone) over voltage, temperature and process variation (typical sample and "corners"). Make measurement reports and in close cooperation with designers, analyze the results. o Measurements of BB blocks (e.g. HPF, LPF transfer functions, 3dBfc, Passband Ripple)

- Involved in PCB design of a dedicated PCB for NF measurements (worked with Altium).

- RF IC characterization / validation (receiver):

o RF verification on component level to meet component specification;

o RF Component matching optimization on characterization board;

o RF Component Performance tests for normal and extreme conditions (temperature and voltage) for typical and “corner” samples;

o Receiver RF parameters were measured using an Intel specific internal tool;

- Deliverables and results:

o RF Component and System bring up in time;

o RF Component verification compliant to chip specification;

o Documentation of deliverables and results.

As member of Final Test team I am responsible for RF testing, measuring and debugging of pre-production of RF front-end modules (PaiD/PAMiD ICs) for mobile phone market.

- Responsible for Final Test setup release used for correlation with characterization setup, setup release for DV measurements;

- Involved in data analysis (i.e. MS Excel), data processing and device screening, in reducing the production setup test time (e.g. investigate the use of a Semiconductor Switch Matrix);

- Test environment used is C# based and parameters like Current Consumption, S-parameters, P1dB, P2dB, P3dB, P4dB, IP3, ACLR, 2nd and 3rd harmonic levels are measured using Keysight PXi Systems;
