Electronic Design by Jean Lestrale

I have over 30 years of aerospace electronic design experience, working with RF, digital, analog and power circuitry. I'm a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, and a certified Department of Defense contractor, as well as an amateur radio operator for many years. Areas of expertise include ultra-high density layouts, robotic assembly, EMP and radiation hardening, and obtaining military certifications and FCC type-acceptances.

Here's a brief list of some of my more noteworthy designs :

      •   The UHF communications amplifier in the space shuttle, for NASA.

      •   The telemetry system in the Clementine space probe, for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization.

      •   A cryogenically super-cooled ultra low noise receiver, for the NRAO (National Radio Astronomy Organization).

      •   An extremely low frequency encrypted receiver used aboard submarines, for the US Navy.

      •   Various satellite-based UHF transceivers for the Navy and the NRO (National Reconnaissance Office).

      •   RISC microcircuitry used in robotics, for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency).

My commercial designs have included such things as cell phones for Nokia and Ericsson, a blood analysis computer used in labs and hospitals, a series of tiny shark-tracking transmitters for oceanographic research, and even a metal detector for gold prospecting.

As the sole proprietor of a small business, my fees remain suprisingly affordable. There's really no need to choose between economy or excellence, when I can give you both. I'll be glad to discuss your upcoming requirements, and provide you with a cost estimate for my services if you wish.
