Our Team

Erin drafts and prosecutes patent applications in all electrical, wireless communication, computer-hardware, and software fields including radar systems, wireless transceiver hardware, wireless communication standards, memory, machine learning, battery charging, and digital and analog circuits.

Erin was formerly a Senior System Engineer and Lead Engineer that designed, operated, analyzed, and tested battlefield radars at Raytheon.  Her experience spans from low-level hardware and software design and implementation to high-level system integration and test.

Technical Experience

Wireless Transceiver Hardware: adaptable architecture for analog/digital/hybrid beamforming, couplers, amplifiers (e.g., power amplifier and low-noise amplifier), phase shifters, mixers, clock generators, analog-to-digital converters, average power tracking (APT), anti-tamper protection, and electromagnetic shielding

Acoustic Filters: thin-film surface-acoustic-wave filters (TFSAW), high-quality temperature-compensated (HQ-TC) SAW filters, microacoustic filters, double-mode (DM) SAW filters, various filter modes (e.g., plate mode, piston mode, cavity modes), spurious mode suppression, and acoustic-wave dampening/acoustic loss/non-linearities/acoustomigration mitigation techniques

Systems and Sensors: smart devices, hearables, radar, ultrasonic, infrared, lidar, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and sensor fusion

System Operations: active noise cancellation, on-head detection, gesture recognition, speech recognition, voice recognition, and collision avoidance

Wireless Communication and Radio Frequency Propagation: jamming mitigation, modulation schemes, electromagnetic coupling, mutual coupling cancellation, ray tracing, and techniques for improving signal-to-noise ratios

Memory: die architecture, read/write operations, training, test modes, and row hammer mitigation

Antenna: design and impedance tuning

Hard-Disk Drive: self-servo writing, encoding, and decoding

Battery Charging: DC-to-DC power converters (switch-mode power supply, buck converter, boost converter, charge pump), burst mode, low-dropout regulators, and techniques for improving efficiency

Wireless Charging: RF shielding and receiver architecture

Software Fields: machine learning, signal/data processing, simulation, cryptography, search and track algorithms, stretch processing, radar target recognition
