Robert Caverly
Professor
Area of Expertise:
- Radio Frequency and Microwave Devices
- RF, Mixed Signal and Digital CMOS Design
- Wireless Communication Systems
Summary
Wireless devices like cell phones as well as larger systems such as cable television and MRIs have become so pervasive in society that they are practically taken for granted. Understanding and explaining the intricacies of how these systems are controlled by high-speed semiconductor devices is one of Dr. Caverly's areas of specialty. He is also at the leading edge of researchers working to move wireless technology toward use of single microchip systems instead of the multiple chip methods presently used.
