Dr. Frankel is now with the Naval Research Laboratory, Optical Sciences Divisions. His interests are in picosecond electronics and optoelectronics, including microwave transmission lines, photodetectors and transistors. He has applied optoelectronic techniques to high-bandwidth transistor characterization and has developed and verified a large-signal model to analyze transistor behavior.
