PRIME 2023 - Silver Leaf Certificate

Congratulations to Esmaeil Kavousi Ghafi, PhD student at the ISP, on the well-deserved achievement of being awarded the Silver Leaf Certificate for his paper entitled "RF Solder Ball Break Detection in Automotive FMCW Radars Using Isolated Targets' Phase", presented at the "International Conference on PhD Research in Microelectronics and Electronics - PRIME 2023" in Valencia!

The paper proposes a signal processing-based method for detecting RF solder ball breaks in an automotive frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. This method utilizes sophisticated signal processing techniques to be implemented on the radar processor, and leverages the collected environmental information by the radar to monitor solder balls and detect any instances of ball breaks.
