Giancarlo Orengo

Position:  Professor

Areas of Expertise: Design of microwave integrated circuits. Characterization and modeling of linear and nonlinear devices

Giancarlo Orengo received his degree in electronic engineering from the University of Roma “La Sapienza,” Italy, in 1989.

In 1990 he joined the Department of Electronic Engineering of the University of Roma “Tor Vergata” as technical assistant. From 2000 he was researcher assistant and from 2004 he is associate professor of electronics. From 1990 he works on MMIC’s design and characterization with III-IV devices. In this research field he designed many front-end amplifier circuits, developing different wideband compensation techniques, and also distributed and electronically switched multichannel amplifiers for WDM (Wavelenght Division Multiplation) communication networks. Research in this field were also concerned on very fast pulse amplifiers, line equalizers, acitve filters, and matching networks. In the modeling research field he developed linear and nonlinear equivalent circuit models, as well as behavioral models, based on artificial neural networks, for active and passive devices and circuits.

From 1993 to 2004 he was envolved in design and realization of analog/digital IC front-end electronics in LHC (Large Hadron Collyder) particle detectors at the CERN of Geneva. In the last years the scientific activity has been moved towards Electronics for Medical Engineering, following his teaching tasks. In particular he is collaborating with the Faculty of Odontoiatry for experimenting new probe devices for endodoncy, and he is developing the integration of different sensing technologies in human motion monitoring systems, for application concerned with terehabilitation, people remote control, security, rescue services, etc.
