Visit to Analog Devices Company
February 28, 2023
22 GUC IET students visited Analog Devices Company on Tuesday, February 28, 2023. The visit started with a talk by ADI Egypt director Dr. Ahmed Khalil, who described the various R&D activities in the company. The ADI team works on designing digital and analog circuits for advanced applications,  including  5G mobile communication and low-earth orbit satellite internet. Then Dr. Mohamed Yousef and Dr. Islam Eshrah presented a sample product of the company in the field of 5G and phased arrays. Then, a group of students presented their graduation projects to the audience from ADI. And finally, Dr. Ahmed Khalil led a tour of the company and their chip testing facility.
