Ivan Boshnakov

Now retired, Ivan Boshnakov continues his deep dives into amplifier design, crafting application notes and exploring new techniques with Cadence/AWR Microwave Office.

Over a 30-year career in design and design-team management, Boshnakov cites work with low-noise to high-power (1.5 kW) RF amplifiers from 1 MHz to 40 GHz. Those amplifiers span implementation technologies from chip-and-wire and MMICs to printed-circuit boards. He has helped bring more than 210 amplifiers into production.

Boshnakov has published practical articles in various industry publications, often teaming up with co-authors from AWR (now Cadence), Modelithics, and Ampsa.
