Luis A. Valles luis_v_g@hotmail.com 503-C Georgetown Pl Chula Vista, CA, 91911 Tel. (619) 271-5234 OBJECTIVE: To be part of a team that develops, innovates and implements high-end technology in the area of RF engineering EDUCATION: Centro de Investigacion Cientifica y de Educacion Superior de Ensenada (CICESE) M.S. RF Engineering Ensenada, Mexico 2003–2007 Universidad Autonoma de Baja California B.S. Electrical Engineering Tijuana, Mexico 1997–2001 WORK EXPERIENCE 1999 - 2000 COONER WIRE INC Tijuana, B.C. A Company that specializes in the manufacture of cables and harnesses for aeronautical, commercial, computer, medical and telecom companies Electrical Technician Position Design, elaboration and repair of the several test fixtures of electrical testing. Failure analysis. Responsible of the electrical testing equipment and computer equipment THESIS TOPICS 1. Valles-González L.A., Sánchez-Herrera D.A. (2004). Physical Alteration of a Triangular Antenna based on Sierpinki’s Fractal and an empiric formulation of an equation that describes its behavior. B. Sc. Thesis. UABC, Tijuana, Baja Cfa., Mexico. There where 5 antennas constructed at different heights; they where design using Sierpinki’s Fractal and simulated in 3-D using Ansoft HFSS; they where constructed using double sided copper clad boards with an FR4 substrate; they functioned as a multi-frequency antenna with the frequency going from 2 to 4 to 8 GHz aprox.; their radiation pattern was measured using near field measurements with a wide band antenna and a synthesizer and their S-parameters where measured using a VNA. 2. Valles-González L.A. (2007). Design and Construction of Class A Power Amplifier. MS thesis. CICESE, Ensenada, Baja Cfa., Mexico. A class A power amplifier was design and constructed using a GaAs power transistor; the matching networks where constructed on a FR4 board substrate; the design was done using a non-linear model as a simulation of the transistor; the simulation was done using ADS; the amplifier specifications where a gain greater than 9dB at 4 GHz, VSWR lower than 1.5 dB and a bandwidth of 200 MHz. S-parameters where measured using a VNA and a 1 tone measurement was done to evaluate it’s power response with a spectrum analyzer and a synthesizer; the amplifier operated at 4 GHz with a gain of 9.4 dB, a VSWR lower than 1.5 dB and a bandwidth of 3.6 GHz to 4.2 GHz.
