EXPERIENCE

Associate RF Engineer Intern at T-Mobile, USA Jun.2010 –Jan.2011

• Performed RF Drive Testing for 3G sites, Repeaters. Signal verification, Repeaters and HSDPA/ HSUPA testing using TEMS Investigation 9.1.2.

• Monitoring and troubleshooting UMTS and GSM voice and data KPIs (such accessibility, retainability, throughput, voice quality, interference, capacity, utilization, etc) for T-mobile Wireless UMTS network.

• Performed Functionality Testing, IFHO and IRAT testing using Ericsson Tool- TEMS Investigation 9.1.2.

• Collected, post processed and analyzed drive test data. Worked with the operations team to troubleshoot site related hardware issues.

• Investigate customer complaints for coverage and site related issues.

• Performed Call through Testing and E 911 testing.

• Extensive use of TEMS Investigation and Actix Analyzer.

Research Assistant Dec.2009 – June 2010

Department of Electrical Engineering at University of Texas at Arlington, Texas

• Involved in Antenna design and measurement programs in which were used to Provide design and analysis assistance for antenna pattern measurements and scattering measurements.

• Worked with microstrip patch antennas and other printed circuit antennas to predict the performance of microstrip fed slot antennas. Function includes calibration techniques (TRL and full two port).

• Etched, tested and fabricated various strip patch antennas.

• Performing measurements using RF instruments such as Vector Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers etc. in Anechoic chamber.

• Compiled results of hardware test then analyze and give feedback to professor.

PROJECTS

• MIMO (Multiple Inputs and Multiple Outputs) system simulation

Designed MIMO wireless systems and investigated the performance of spatial multiplexing with dual-polarized antennas and Rayleigh fading channel. Designed a 2X2 & 1X2 transmit diversity scheme using Alamouti Space time block code.

• Channel equalizer using MLSE and MDD

Generating pseudo-random Block code; encoding it using 8-PSK & QAM and decoding it using MLSE & MDD to measure and compare performance characteristics using the above methods.

• Rate versus Power Control in IS-95 and CDMA2000

Using Equal Power Allocation, Channel inversion & Water-Filling techniques on SIMO, MISO, MIMO schemes and finding out the bit rate for variation in power allocation in both IS-95 and CDMA2000.

• SDRAM controller design

The goal of this project is to design an SDRAM controller that allows SDRAM memory to be interfaced with a microprocessor having only asynchronous memory support.

• Green House Automation using Microcontroller AT 89C51

Designed and built the system for controlling four environmental parameters viz. Temperature, Humidity, light intensity and water supply in the Green House.
