Jan Tubbax

Jan Tubbax received his Electrical Engineering degree from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL) in July 1998. He performed his M.S. thesis on the “Performance Evaluation of IEEE 802.11a and IPv6” in the Design Technology for Integrated Information and Communication Systems (DESICS) division at the Interuniversity Micro-Electronics Center (IMEC) in Leuven. In September 1998, he joined the Wireless Systems (WISE) group of DESICS at IMEC. Within the WISE group, he performed research on synchronization strategies for satellite networks. In the spring of 2000, he started working towards a Ph.D. in the mixed-signal design of wireless local area networks (WLAN) at the Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT/INSYS), KUL. The goal of this Ph.D. is the design of low-cost and low-power WLAN radios through the development of digital algorithms that allow to relax the analog front-end specifications. During the spring of 2002, he visited the Information Systems Laboratory (ISL) at Stanford University, California, USA, to perform research on different equalization strategies for WLANs. His main research interests are mixed signal wireless design, digital compensation techniques, modulation techniques, and multiple antenna systems.
