Biography
John W. Archer (F'90) was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1950. He received the B.Sc., B.E. (Honors I) and Ph.D. degree from the University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia, in 1970, 1972, and 1977, respectively. His Ph.D. research resulted in the world's first 100 GHz variable-baseline, two-element coherent interferometer for radio astronomy, which was used to study the characteristics of solar radiation.
From 1977 to 1984, he worked at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in the USA and gained international recognition for his work on millimeter-wave systems for radio astronomy; particularly component design and receiver construction. He retired in 2010 after 26 years employment with CSIRO Australia. He joined the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics in 1984, where he led research programs developing research capabilities in compound semiconductor device technology—specifically the design, fabrication and testing of millimeter-wave GaAs and InP MMICs. The MMICs that he developed have been successfully applied in various millimeter-wave (30–300 GHz) radio systems. By 2000, this work had positioned CSIRO as Australia's major repository of knowledge and capability in advanced millimeter-wave MMIC technology and laid the groundwork for the establishment of the MIMIX Broadband's Australian MMIC Design Centre. He has published over 100 widely cited papers.
Dr. Archer is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering. His contributions to research and development in the millimeter-wave field recognized by listings in the U.S.-based Marquis Who's Who publications, “Who's Who in the World” and “Who's Who in Science and Engineering.” He is a member of editorial boards of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, the Peer Review Panels of the Australian Research Grants Committee and the National Science Foundation (USA). He also served as a member of Organizing and Technical Committees of numerous international conferences. He is a recipient of the CSIRO Medal in 2002 for outstanding research in millimeter-wave InP MMICs, and a joint recipient of CSIRO Chairman's Medal in 2007 for exceptional research in gigabit wireless communications.
