Author Biographies
Roy Leventhal (co-author):
 Roy
Leventhal is co-owner of Leventhal Design & Communications, where he consults in
semiconductor modeling and simulation in IBIS, SPICE and Scattering-Parameters,
signal integrity, power integrity, and EMC (electromagnetic control).
Roy's 45-year career includes extensive experience in RF circuits, semiconductor applications,
components, reliability, failure analysis, signal integrity, and EMI-EMC. He has
integrated his diverse knowledge in the book Semiconductor Modeling: For
Simulating Signal, Power, and Electromagnetic Integrity, Springer 2006 (ISBN
0-387-24159-0).
Roy is currently active in the IEEE EMC Society Technical Committee on Signal
Integrity (TC-10). Roy has been
active in the IBIS Committee, having served on
the subcommittee for model quality. He has taught signal integrity at Cadence
Design Systems, 3Com Corporation, and IEEE EMC Society meetings. He is currently
working on the Boeing 787 project, doing EMI-EMC testing, trouble-shooting, test
procedure generation, and modeling and simulation.
Roy earned his MSEE at Illinois Institute of Technology and has performed
additional post-graduate studies in semiconductor device physics and RF
microwave circuit design.

Lynne Green (co-author):
 Dr.
Lynne Green is president of Green Streak Programs, specializing in modeling and
simulation in IBIS and SPICE. Dr Green has over 25 years of experience in
electronics design simulation and modeling. Dr. Green was Vice-chair of IBIS for
two years and is currently the Chair of the IBIS Model Review Committee. She is
also a member of the IBIS Futures Committee and the Fabless Semiconductor
Association's Modeling Committee. Dr. Green has worked for a number of major
companies, including IBM, Cadence Design Systems, and Innoveda (now part of
Mentor Graphics). Her current interests are the use of VHDL-AMS and Verilog-AMS
models for signal integrity.
Dr. Green earned her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering
concentrating on semiconductor modeling and device physics from the University
of Washington in Seattle. She also earned MSEE and MS in Physics degrees there.

Darren J. Carpenter (contributing author):
 Mr. Darren Carpenter joined British Telecommunications Labs (BT) in 1991 as a
specialist in the application of mathematical, computational, and statistical
simulation techniques. At BT he developed simulation techniques to support
the EMC certification of large telecommunications systems.
Mr. Carpenter is the author of "ITU Recommendation K.62 - Systems Level Radiated
Emissions Compliance through Mathematical Modeling." He has become
increasingly active within the area of international standardization and currently manages BT's EMC Consultancy.
Mr. Carpenter received a BSc (Hons) degree in Physics and an MSc in
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) from the University of York, England in 1990
and 1991 respectively.
