• Funded “60 GHZ Research wireless propagation Project modelling and channel characterization”, funded by ARRIS Inc. [ May, 2016- July, 2016] Test and simulation:

Designed a 16X16 beamforming patch antenna array at 60 GHz with maximum realized gain of 26 dBi.

Measured RSSI level for different position of a transmitter in an access point in a test house and prepared a color map in MATLAB.

Designed same house in Wireless insight software and performed simulation of signal propagation for same transmitter positions.

Good match between simulation and measurement was achieved and best transmitter positions is possible to achieve without doing physical measurement.
