An outcome of this work was the development of a comprehensive millimeter-wave characterisation facility, the realisation of state-of-the-art millimeter-wave MMICs having 20 dB Gain 115 GHz and laser diodes with a 40 GHz 3dB modulation bandwidth. At the IAF he established and managed research programs responsible for (i) the development, characterisation and optimisation of short gate length compound semiconductor devices and (ii) the development, design and characterisation of high power microwave MMICs and low noise millimeter-wave MMICs. Key outcomes of this work were (i) the demonstration of low noise operation in MODFETs at cryogenic temperatures (ii) the development of very high performance (fT > 150 GHz) pseudomorphic transistors and (iii) the demonstration of a laser diode that was вЂњon-waferвЂќ testable with microwave probes. At Cornell University he managed a world-leading research programme in the area of fabrication, design, characterisation (DC and microwave) and modelling (analytical and numerical) of compound semiconductor devices. Prior to his present appointment he was a Senior Research Associate at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA and then a project manager at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics (IAF), Freiburg, Germany. He remained at Leeds University, obtaining a PhD from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering in December 1983. This research has been performed with the support and collaboration of a number of leading international companies, for example, Nokia, Filtronics, Agilent, Motorola, Celeritek and Marconi.ДЄfter completing his secondary education in Castletown, Isle of Man in 1976, Paul Tasker went to study Physics and Electronics at the University of Leeds, obtaining a Combined Studies BSc Degree with First Class Honours in 1979.

This experimental work is supported by a number of CAD based software tools. The group has unique facilities for performing, high frequency (up to 40 GHz) and high power level (up to 100 Watts) time domain based I-V waveform measurements, non-linear vector network analyser concept, on transistors and circuits into user defined source and load impedances, active harmonic load-pull concept. Linear and efficient power amplifiers are a critical component in present and future communication, satellite and wireless systems. These activities have, to date, focused mainly on the design, modelling and characterisation of non-linear RF and microwave transistors and power amplifier circuits. His research addresses the problems encountered in the field of non-linear RF and microwave circuit design. Paul J Tasker joined Cardiff University in 1995.
