Designed test fixtures, stations and developed test software and data

tables using Visual Basic and Access programs for Electro-Optic

boards and RF modules for HFC systems that deliver video, voice

and data for cable television.

. Designed and built the Automatic RF/Optical Test Stations

(ATS) and the software to test OXIOM Node (4 Port Node). This

node converts RF to Optical and Optical to RF (Return Path)

and Optical to RF (Forward Path) for the cable network.

Prepared the test software for the individual modules of this

system.

. Designed and built the ATS and software code for the Return

Path Receiver which converts the return path RF signal to

Optical signal at the headend for the cable network.
