Tapen pic2Thomas is one of several students currently working on developing single-channel full-duplex transceiver based on a distributed amplifier structure. The project seeks to reduce—and eventually eliminate—the frequency spacing needed between transmit and receive bands for full-duplex radios. Thomas’ contributions to the project so far include schematic and layout designs to be tested in late 2015 and early 2016.
