Current
research in telecommunications, electromagnetics, and circuits. This
research project is my Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Texas-Austin
located in Austin, Texas, USA. I am creating high speed, inexpensive
wireless devices that deliver massive amounts of data. Project is in
development/prototype phase and I am designing the
antennas in this system.
- RFIC - Subarea dealing with the analog circuits needed to generate the wireless signals.
- Antennas - Subarea dealing with the antennas needed to send wireless signals from transmitter to receiver.
- References - Subarea highlighting key literature about this project and what other researchers around the world have discovered.
- RF Lab Equipment - The state-of-the-art facility at UT-Austin's WNCG to measure and test RFICs at 60GHz.
- RSS-Based Position Location Measurement Study - Research in telecommunications. This research work is my Master's Thesis at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, USA. I experimentally verified positioning algorithms used to physically locate wireless devices in a network. The location algorithms rely solely on signal strength from neighboring wireless devices to triangulate and physically locate a "blind" device. These algorithms enhance locating wireless devices (i.e. RFID tags on lost inventory in a warehouse or emergencies where GPS is unavailable--indoors). Radio frequency (RF) link measurements were performed with WiFi - 802.11b (2.4 GHz). The field measurements were recorded and used in the
experimental algorithms. Results verified the performance of the position-locating algorithms using real-life signal strength measurements as oppose to computer simulated values.
 - NASA International Space Station WLAN Measurement Study - Research in telecommunications within electrical engineering. This research work was sponsored by NASA during my undergraduate years at the University of Texas at Austin. The goal of the project was to experimentally determine (via a measurement campaign) if the International Space Station (ISS) could successfully house a Wi-Fi network. Since the ISS is largely metallic, radio waves could continuously bounce inside the structure and saturate the entire wireless network with interference. I constructed a mock-up environment and ran several channel sounding measurements to measure and characterize the interference. Results indicated less interference as had initially feared and pointed towards a successful deployment. Our measurements and estimate provided by this research gave NASA confidence to install a Wi-Fi wireless network in the Space Station and allow astronauts to conduct normal operations and science experiments without fear of entangling wires.
