Professor Lynn Carpenter

Vitae

Dr. Carpenter has done research in ionospheric physics and radar systems. His specialty is microwave system design, Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC) and Computer Aided Design (CAD).

Microwave and MMIC design of amplifiers, mixers, oscillators and dielectric resonators has been carried out with Touchstone and Super-Compact. Analysis has been done with Microwave Spice and layout of these circuits with MiCAD. Thick film on alumina substrate resistor networks have been developed also.

As a Senior Staff Engineer in the Radar Laboratory, Missile Systems Group at Hughes Aircraft during summers from 1981 to 1984 and during his Sabbatical Year 1983-1984, he worked on millimeter wave circulators, isolators, broadband couplers and other radar systems. He has designed coaxial connectors, microstrip delay lines, Low Noise Amplifiers and block converters.

Dr. Carpenter has worked on automotive collision avoidance radars for 7 years. He is currently involved with the design and development of a millimeter-wave system that has a phased-array antenna and electrical beam steering with monopulse detection capabilities.

Dr. Carpenter is a licensed Professional Engineer in Pennsylvania and has consulted as a legal expert in electrical safety in over 20 cases. He has provided professional reports and analysis and has testified in court.
