Nuno Borges Carvalho

Nuno Miguel Gonçalves Borges de Carvalho from the Universidade de Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal was named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2015 for ''contributions on characterization and design of nonlinear RF circuits''.

Carvalho was born in Luanda, Angola, in 1972. He received the Diploma and Doctoral degrees in electronics and telecommunications engineering from the University of Aveiro in Portugal, in 1995 and 2000, respectively.

Carvalho is currently a full professor and a senior research scientist with the Institute of Telecommunications, University of Aveiro and an IEEE Fellow. He coauthored ''Intermodulation in Microwave and Wireless Circuits'' (Artech House, 2003), ''Microwave and Wireless Measurement Techniques'' (Cambridge University Press, 2013) and ''White Space Communication Technologies'' (Cambridge University Press, 2014).

Carvalho has been a reviewer and author of over 200 papers in magazines and conferences. He is associate editor of the ''IEEE Microwave Magazine'' and ''Cambridge Wireless Power Transfer Journal'' and former associate editor of the ''IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques''.

He is the co-inventor of six patents. His main research interests include software-defined radio front-ends, wireless power transmission, nonlinear distortion analysis in microwave/wireless circuits and systems, and measurement of nonlinear phenomena. He has recently been involved in the design of dedicated radios and systems for newly emerging wireless technologies.

Carvalho is the chair of the IEEE MTT-20 Technical Committee and the past-chair of the IEEE Portuguese Section and MTT-11 and also belong to the technical committees, MTT-24 and MTT-26. He is also the vice-chair of the URSI Commission A (Metrology Group). He was the recipient of the 1995 University of Aveiro and the Portuguese Engineering Association Prize for the best 1995 student at the University of Aveiro, the 1998 Student Paper Competition (Third Place) of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) International Microwave Symposium (IMS), and the 2000 IEE Measurement Prize.

Carvalho is a Distinguished Microwave Lecturer for the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society.
