I design and validate RF front ends, mostly between 400 MHz and 40 GHz, and I have done it for 12 years across 3 companies. My filters, LNAs, and antenna feeds are flying on 6 satellites and sitting in about 40,000 base station units. Off the clock I chase weak-signal contacts on 10 GHz, which is cheaper than therapy and only slightly less effective.
