ADA Cell works Ltd. India (April’06-June’06)

As a Junior RF Engineer, I was responsible for planning and Optimization of GSM network.

Hutchison India Ltd. (Dec’05-Mar’06)

I worked as a Junior Engineer Trainee with leading GSM operator in India. I worked with BSS (Base

station Subsystem) team responsible for proper operation of Commercial GSM Network supporting more

than 2 million customers.

PROJECT WORK

QPSK Modem Simulation using Matlab

• QPSK transmitter included a modulator and shaping filters.

• AWGN channel was simulated by introducing Phase and Time delays.

• Receiver was made of demodulator followed by Timing and Phase recovery loops and Equalizer.

• Constellation and Eye diagram were used to verify the results at the receiver output.

RISC Processor

• Design of 32-bit RISC processor capable of executing more than 38 instructions. It has

been verified by 32 bit multiplication and division program in VHDL using Xilinx ISE pack and

simulated.

EDUCATION

• Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, San Diego State University, San Diego, CA.

• Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics & Communication, Dharmsinh Desai University, Nadiad,

India.
