What I do

Engineering depth from architecture through circuit design.

The central strength of JPY Consulting is turning complex theory and system constraints into practical, implementable RF and analog solutions.

01

RF & Analog IC Design

Design and analysis of LNAs, mixers, IF circuits, PAs, synthesizers, RF switches, filters, bias circuits and related transceiver blocks.

CMOSSOIBiCMOSGaAs
02

System-to-Circuit Engineering

Translate radio and product requirements into block-level specifications: gain, noise figure, linearity, filtering, isolation, power, cost and integration tradeoffs.

Technology & Design Analysis

Evaluate competing architectures and semiconductor technologies to identify the best solution for performance, cost, size, yield and manufacturability.

Selected examples

Real engineering work, not stock imagery.

Examples from GPS, patented RF circuitry and mobile RF front-end technology illustrate the range from system architecture to device-level implementation.

RF circuit schematic from a James P. Young patent

Patented RF circuit design

An original circuit schematic from one of James P. Young’s patents—representative of decades of RF and analog circuit design.

Representative cellular front-end module

Cellular front-end module

A representative FEM implementation showing how multiple technologies can be combined when each is selected for the function it performs best.

A practical design philosophy

“Simplify complex theories and turn them into practical solutions.”

Choose the best technology for each block.

RF design is rarely optimized by forcing every function into the same technology. PA efficiency, switch linearity, filter Q, integration, cost and manufacturability often point to different implementations. The objective is the best overall system solution.
