Trosolwyg
James Bell received the bachelor’s and Ph.D. degrees from Cardiff University in 2009 and 2013 respectively. He has worked in the Centre for High Frequency Engineering here at Cardiff University, where he has been involved with the development of nonlinear measurement systems, the "Cardiff Model" and high efficiency power amplifier design. He is currently a lecturer in the School of Engineering at Cardiff University and remains a member of the Centre for High Frequency Engineering. He continues his work in the areas of behavioural modelling, RF and millimetre-wave measurement systems, and broadband power amplifier design.

Ymchwil
James' research interests include, but are not limited to, behavioural modelling, intelligent measurement systems, and power amplifier design. He is currently working on robust automated load-pull measurement systems; augmenting the 'Cardiff Behavioural Model' framework for measurement system control and robust CAD models for PA design; and the practical application of ‘Clipping Contours’ for the design of linear or linearisable PAs. James works closely with international industry and academics, as his research impacts both sectors.
