Listed with other top experts in: |
|
Expert has 20+ years in the RF/antenna/communications engineering field, including design of RF solid-state power amplifiers, airborne radar warning receiver systems, wideband satellite receivers, payload engineering, end-to-end satellite communication systems analysis/simulation, waveform development (M-PSK, M-QAM). Expert worked on a 60 GHz point-to-point radio development where he designed the coplanar waveguide antenna with hemispherical anti-reflection ceramic shell and performed the system design including modulation, spectral and filter analysis, modulation index (FSK), spectral emissions mask and specification of filters. Expert performed end-to-end modeling/simulation and requirements analysis for the MUOS mobile satellite system, which uses a Wideband CDMA waveform based on the 3GPP standard. Expert has performed RF/microwave system level design of payloads and transceivers, including cascade analysis of linear, intermodulation, thermal and phase noise distortion, dynamic range, intercept point, gain and noise figure; link budget analysis, and Bit Error Rate performance. Expert is proficient in use of software simulation tools for satellite system and RF design, including Satellite Tool Kit (STK), Matlab/Simulink, SPW, Agilent Advanced Design System, Eagleware/Genesys, AWR Microwave Office and Visual System Simulator, CST Microwave Studio, and Ansoft HFSS. Expert possesses excellent verbal and written communication skills, including technical proposal writing, technical reports, and presentations.
