Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJustin Magers is a Distinguished RF/Microwave Engineer with over two decades of experience architecting high-frequency test and measurement and millimeter-wave radio systems, currently leading hardware architecture for NI's first internally developed 26.5 GHz Vector Network Analyzer. He has deep hands-on expertise designing mixers, I/Q modulators, samplers, frequency multipliers, and amplifiers, and is adept at integrating linear, nonlinear, and EM simulations (CST, Sonnet, AXIEM, Microwave Office) into complete circuit solutions. Justin pairs system-level skills—heterodyne receiver design, spur analysis, NF/IP3 budgeting, and calibration techniques like SOLT/TRL—with practical high-frequency PCB EM modeling and Modelithics-based componentization. He was the system architect behind NI’s mmWave VST (22.5–44 GHz) and millimeter-wave transceiver platforms for 5G prototyping, and his work connects traditional RF metrics to digital modulation performance using AWR VSS (IP3/NF → EVM/ACLR). A technical reviewer for IEEE T-MTTT, he blends rigorous measurement practice with simulation-driven design and a penchant for characterizing subtle mixer spurious behaviors that often decide real-world receiver performance.
