BIOGRAPHICAL
INFORMATION
Dr. is an Assistant Professor at
Penn State Behrend in Erie, PA. Here she teaches the Microelectronic sequence,
VLSI and a Microwave Wireless course.
Her research includes RF on-chip ESD protection and testing,
Transmission Line Pulsing for ESD testing, Pulsed IV for device testing and
Linearization techniques for RF Power Amplifiers. She received her Ph.D. from Penn
State at University
Park, M.S. from Syracuse
University and her B.S. from Michigan

Kathleen
Muhonen has had extensive experience in industry. Recently she has worked for RF Micro Devices,
(RFMD), in Greensboro, North Carolina. As a systems engineer, she gained experience
on transceiver chip sets that needed factory calibration of the digital
predistorter of the RF power amplifier.
Other work she did in systems included FaST DC/DC converters for high
efficiency GSM EDGE amplifiers. As a
design engineer she has also worked on GSM and CDMA amplifiers for front end
modules and on-chip ESD solutions for GaAs HBT power amplifiers. Prior to RFMD, Kathleen has worked for GE
Aerospace as a device engineer working on millimeter-wave GaAs PHEMT
amplifiers. She also went to the University
of California at Davis
for one year to gain exposure to research in digital communications. While in California,
she was employed at Hewlett Packard, (now Agilent); there she worked on base
station amplifiers for cellular applications.
