JHU MMIC Design EE787 Course
The MMIC Design course is a graduate Electrical Engineering
class at
In 2004, Craig Moore retired from teaching and Sheng
Cheng helped teach the class. For several years after, Dr. Michel Reece co-taught the
MMIC class. Now Dr. Willie Thompson is co-teaching MMIC Design.
All were former JHU MMIC students in 1989, 2000, and 2001 respectively.

JHU MMIC Design EE787 Fall 2001 Results
Following are the test results of the
MMIC chips designed in the Fall 2001 MMIC class.
The chips make up a system design for communications in the 5150 – 5350 MHz
WLAN and the 5725 – 5875 MHz ISM Bands.
The fabricated MMICs from the Fall 2001 MMIC Course were received from TriQuint
Semiconductor in March 2001 and initially tested in March, and April. All the
devices were pretty close to simulations and worked well.

Fall 2000 MMIC Course Measured Results
The fabricated MMICs from the Fall 2000 MMIC Course were received from TriQuint
Semiconductor in May 2001 and initially tested in May, and June. Some
additional tests were made in July. All the devices were pretty close to
simulations and worked well. Below is a PDF file of the results.

JHU Special Projects EE801 Course
In addition to the MMIC Design Course, graduate students can perform individual study projects. Following is a report of a special MMIC design project--Millimeter Wave Driver Amplifier by Joe Jiacinto. This MMIC design uses 0.25 um PHEMTs in the TriQuint Texas Foundry. A foundry library was provided by TriQuint for the Agilent EEsof Series IV design tool. Joe Jiacinto was a student in the Fall 1999 MMIC Design Course EE787 and also in the Spring 2000 Power MMIC Design Course EE788.
