OBJECTIVE:

An electrical engineering graduate specialized in wireless communication and electro magnetics, looking forward for an entry level engineering opportunity to contribute growth and excel with the organization.

EDUCATION:

Master of Science in Electrical Engineering- Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, FL- Dec 2012.

Honors: Graduated with the GPA:3.75, member of honor society IEEE-HKN .

Course Work: Computational Electromagnetics, Personal Communication system, Communication Theory,

Radio Frequency Propagation, Antennas I, Antennas II, Wireless Design Concept, Free Space Optical

Communication.

Thesis: ”Analysis of Dispersion and Impedance Properties of Infrared Impedance Surfaces”.

A study about the periodic stratified structure‘s basic propagation modes and its field confined to the surface in the THz frequency range. The dispersion characteristic s of the artificial impedance surface are recorded with respect to phase change using high frequency simulator HFSS. The resonating frequency for every physical dimension variation is evaluated and the high artificial impedance is calculated. The impedance is defined for the surface in terms of the propagation and material loss.

Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical and Electronics Engineering -Anna University, India- April 2010.

Honors: Graduated with the distinction honor and Percentage:78.

Project: “Automatic Vehicle pollution Monitoring Using Zigbee and GSM” . The emission of CO from the

year old vehicles is monitored using the CO sensor interfaced with the microprocessor 89S52. The processor is programmed to enable Zigbee and buzzer connected to the ve hicle if it exceeds the toxic limits. The database at the base station will update the user history and intimate the registered vehicle user.

INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE:

Validation and Verification Engineer-Cobham Avionics, Mineral Wells, TX-Jan 2013-May 2013.

Tested the Electronic Flight Instrumentation System software with Level A certification as per DO178-B and aviation standards as a part of verification and validation team.

Involved in the activities like system level requirement, design generation and unit level testing.

Designed and executed the test scripts on the target hardware and high fidelity simulator for high level requirement based testing (automatic and manual testing).

Prepared checklists to review the test procedure according to the requirement document and fixed the bugs in the scripts.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:

Graduate Research Assistant- Florida Institute of Technology, Melbourne, FL-Sep 2011 – Dec 2012.

Designed reflectors operated in the infrared frequency range with the careful selection of materials and the physical dimensions according to the frequency of operation to attenuate the loss.

Deposited high temperature sensitive material inside the substrate of a periodic structure and recorded the variation in the field behavior.

Using finite element method based simulator HFSS, the conductance of the metal patch is varied from low to high level and the wave propagation in the periodic structure is observed.

Reports prepared regarding the field propagation and the impedance of the structure due to the variation in the metal patch material and the operating frequency.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

RF and Wireless Design:

With the set of design goals, amplifier is designed using the trace of input, output reflection coefficient against the frequency range of 1 to 10 GHz. The figure of merit for the amplifier also calculated.

The impedance matching circuit is designed for the assigned input impedance by means of smith chart analysis.

A low pass π matching network with the reflection coefficient of -35 dB and the matching time lower than 258μs is designed using the ADS simulator.

The GSM channels calculated for the A block and the TDMA used system efficiency also evaluated. Using a set of measured data, the optimal values for the parameters of Log -distance path loss model is determined.

Antenna Design and Electromagnetic field calculation:

The microstrip patch antenna is designed for the reflection coefficient lesser than -5 dB and it is verified with

the S- parameter and field plots using Sonnet Lite software. The pyramidal horn antenna is designed for the G band with the gain of 20.0dB using iteration method.

Laplace equations for the predetermined mesh and critical conditions are solved to get the free node solutions using Matlab code.

The Matlab code is written to trace the illumination, aperture, spillover efficiency with respect to edge illumination of the symmetrical reflector wi th the aperture distribution.
