Biography

Val Dyadyuk has extensive experience in the RF system engineering and mm-wave design. He has held various senior positions in prestigious public and private organizations.

Val started his career as a Research Engineer at the University of Radio Electronics in Ukraine (1970 – 1975) and worked on EM simulation of microwave devices with anisotropic medium. From 1975 to 1992, he worked at the Institute for Radio Physics and Electronics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine as a Leading Design Engineer and the Head of the Microwave Engineering Branch. He led a team of 25 engineers and researchers and a number of R&D projects that developed variety of millimetre-wave (30 – 330 GHz) devices and sub-systems for radar, communication, and industrial equipment including the sub-millimetre wave interferometer for experimental thermonuclear reactor TOKOMAK. Val was nominated for the “best in the profession” awards for the research and management staff of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and received this award in 1988 and 1990.

In 1992 he joined the Scientific & Research Institute of Radio Electronic & Diagnostic Systems (Ukraine) leading development of a mm-wave radio link as a Head of the High Frequency Branch. In 1993 Val was appointed the Research Director at the SCAD Scientific & Industrial Group (Kharkov, Ukraine) where he was responsible for design and pilot production of a marine microwave radar sensor and mm-wave equipment for biological and medical applications. Due to the nature of employment and citizenship, all publications for period 1973 - 1994 available in public domain were in Russian.

Since moving to Australia, he joined RF Devices Pty Ltd where he designed a high-linearity wideband HF amplifier. Shortly afterwards he joined British Aerospace Australia designing the Frequency Management System for the JORN Radar Networks.

Val Dyadyuk joined CSIRO in 1997 and contributed to the success of several research projects, including design of a microwave power distribution network for the CEA-Mount Advanced Technology Demonstrator, a feasibility study of a wideband vector modulator, development of the Traffic Management Radar demonstrator, design of MMIC amplifiers (as a part of development of CSIRO’s HBT technology that led to Epitactix spin-off), and design study for a Millimetre-wave Broadband Wireless Access System. He has also participated in development of wafer-scale thin-film multi-chip-module integration techniques that led to the patented CSIRO integration process (2002 –2004).

Val led the Gigabit Wireless Research Projects in 2002-2005 and made a major contribution to development a high data rate (1Gbps) W-band link that was the only example of such a system at this frequency reported worldwide (2003-2004). He developed concepts of the Multi-Gigabit millimetre-wave wireless links and designed several key RF components such as wide-band RF front end modules, developed wide-band sub-harmonic mixer MMICs, specified and developed RF filters that have been essential for implementation of the CSIRO’s innovative frequency-domain multi-channel wireless communication system concept. Val has been a technical advocate and RF system architect of the world’s first Multi-Gigabit Wireless Link (2006), and has played key role in its development, integration, debugging and testing. Developed multi-gigabit mm-wave wireless technology has been internationally recognised as a world-class achievement.

Since 2007, Val is the Microwave Systems Research Team Leader (formerly Mm-wave Technologies Research Team) and a member of the WNTL Leadership Team.

As a Project Leader of Reconfigurable Radio (2008 – 2009) and xTreme Rate Wireless Systems (2009-2012) strategic research projects, Val led multidisciplinary team of 25 people conducting a cutting-edge research on enabling technologies for future flexible and adaptive wireless communication systems . He has played a key leadership role in the development of CSIRO’s mm-wave high altitude long range communications system concept (including spatial power combining antenna arrays, the hybrid end-fire antenna array, transceiver architectures and integration techniques). Val has proposed and designed the E-band Receive Array prototype, led its development and tests that successfully demonstrated analogue and digital components of a hybrid beam forming algorithm. This work represents world first experimental results on steerable antenna arrays in the E-band.

Val has led the RF sub-system activities of the Ngara Wireless Backhaul project (2009-2012). He has made a major contribution to the development of award winning Ngara Backhaul System conducting analysis of the propagation effects over a long range RF path, identifying frequency bands suitable for aggregation, developing feasible RF sub-system architectures, and carrying out system integration, extensive de-bugging and bench tests.

Currently, Val leads development of the RF sub-system for the next generation E-band millimetre-wave backhaul. His contributions have been instrumental for securing of two commercial contracts and further prospects in commercialisation of CSIRO’s innovative award-winning Ngara Microwave and E-band mm-wave backhaul technologies.
