INTERN EXPERIENCE

Networking for WLAN

Broadcom Corporation, Sunnyvale, California

June 2013 – December 2013

Bluetooth – WLAN Coexistence

• Primarily worked on testing and development of proprietary BT-WLAN combo module for the Media

group primarily for LCD, LED and Plasma TVs.

• Assisted my team in resolving customer issues with respect to the BT-WLAN combo by conducting

throughput experiments with MIMO channel emulators and BT-WLAN combo protocol analyzers.

• Conducted throughput experiments in a rotating anechoic chamber to improve the efficiency of the

MIMO implementation and on-board antenna design on versions of the BT-WLAN combo module.

• Successfully assisted an automation engineer in replacing the manual testing procedure for the BT-

WLAN combo module with an autonomous testing procedure developed in Perl.

WLAN Software Test

Broadcom Corporation, Sunnyvale, California

June 2014 – Present

Access Points/ Routers and Set Top boxes

• Test Adjacent Channel Interference Mitigation algorithms on routers and access points to understand

and mitigate the effects of interference on the performance of 802.11n/ac modules in the 5GHz band.

• Replicate customer reported issues for Set-top boxes that house Broadcom's 802.11n WLAN chips and

assist in debugging the issue and rolling out to the customer.

• Debug customer issues related to WLAN-BT combo modules on smartphones and set top boxes in

anechoic chambers.

• Performance related testing such as Rate versus Range and OTA tests of the new wave 2 4x4 802.11ac

Tri-band routers/access points.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

RF Liquid level Measurement and Alert System:

January 2014 – April 2014

Designed and simulated a RF system in AWR VSS that tracks liquid level in dams, reservoirs and factories using

acid storage and reports data to any remote location with the help of satellite link. Optimal system parameters such

as Noise figure, Gain and IP3 was chosen and corresponding components was chosen from the market.

Physical Layer Simulation of an OFDM System:

April 2013 – May 2013

Simulated a simplified version of an OFDM system in MATLAB involving simulating the system in AWGN

channel and ITU/WINNER multipath channel models using BPSK, QPSK and 16 QAM.

Implementing multicasting using TCP sockets:

October 2012 – December 2012

Designed a network of hosts and routers to execute multicasting of data and connection messages. The program

developed in C successfully builds a multicast tree with inputs from the user and the percolation of multicast data

(through shortest paths) is observed at the client/host end of the network.
