OBJECTIVE:

Looking for a position as a Sr. RF Design Engineer/ RF System Engineer

EDUCATION:

MS Electrical Engineering, Pacific States University, 1984

EXPERIENCES:

I have extensive experience in hardware circuit and system design and have worked on projects (DC to 28Ghz) from concept to complete product. I have focused on transmitter, receiver, and high efficiency antenna design from 13.56MHz--2.4GHz(RFID)--GPS-WiFi to 5.8GHz ISM band, microwave 15GHZ-23GHZ telecommunications (T1, DS1, DS3,16QAM), and Tx/Rx of 26-28GHZ system design, also including high efficiency wearable antenna for medical device --- suitable for new generation wireless implantable system. Up/Down converter design, EMC/RFI testing, diagnostic / troubleshooting and filtering design with total solutions to match system requirements. My passion is from hardware circuit design to system design and innovation. I had completed a high performance automatic gain control amplifier design, which can provide over 70dB dynamic range by designing 3 consecutive feedback control loops with low cost pin diodes attenuator. Wideband multi-channel down converter design and single channel up converter design. Low phase noise phase locked loop oscillators-- PLL circuit design for the motor control/polygon mirror. I excel in high IP3 low noise linear amplifier and AGC close loop design, also including design: AFC, VCO, DRO, RF magnetic coils, RF modules, active and passive filters, microstrip filters, EMI/RFI filters, antenna design and matching circuits design, switching mode power supply and DC to DC converter design. Strong analytical skills and be capable of working closely with software engineers on RF auto adjustment algorithms for transmit power control and modulation index control. Experience in root analysis of component failures/circuit design issues, also provide confident problem resolution. I can build critical circuits for quick testing to prove the correct concept, PCB layout, and setup the project time schedule, documentations for schematics, parts list, theory of operations, and also design automatic test fixture to help production people to have high yield rate, etc. I have had practical experience on RF hardware design and RF transceiver testing validation / development, I can handle the entire transmitter and receiver project design (HF, VHF, UHF, and Microwave-26GHZ-28GHZ System design), and establish a system level of specification, system block diagram, system parameter calculation analysis, test plans and documentation, transition to manufacturing, as well as system testing/interact with customers to meet their requirements. I am a very responsible person, self-oriented and good team player. Familiar with Software simulator such as Touchstone, AWR (Microwave Office), Eagleware, Computer simulation Technology--CST, Or-cad / P-cad (schematic drawing). I am an excellent Analog/Digital/RF/Microwave/NFC product development engineer, know how, and willing to work with a team to develop and design a revolutionary product. The following experience can show my design ability in a variety of Digital/Analog/RF/Microwave circuits, wireless communication system, 16QAM radio system, RFID 13.56MHZ/ 900MHZ/2.4GHZ system, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth Antennas, Low noise front-end amplifier and Microwave Telecommunications point to point system ( M12 board design, T1, DS1, DS3,16QAM ).
