Wireless Communication Systems Design and Simulation

Dec 2018 - Dec 2020
Radio (wireless) communications systems have moved a long way in the last 100 years, from radio broadcasting, the first mass-market application, to today's ubiquitous Smartphones offering an array of applications and communication at ever-increasing data rates. The advent of the integrated circuit enabled this much increasing functionality and complexity and the microprocessor, facilitating miniaturization and low-cost, high-volume manufacture. We tried to implement hardware-software co-design and co-simulation for telecommunication systems using software-defined platforms. We were explicitly simulating and implementing an OFDM and a Single Carrier Frequency-domain Equalization system using the High-Level Synthesis methodology. Our research spans from theoretical analysis to system-level design, Matlab, Python, C/C++ programming, and practical evaluations. Show less

Academic Internship
-
Jul 2018 - Oct 2018
During the period of my internship, I mainly focused on simulation and optimization for parabolic and patch antennas, software-defined radio communications, and computer networking. My tasks are summarized below: 1. Simulation of parabolic and patch antennas using HFSS and CST simulation tools and optimizing some of their characteristics like VSWR and Gain. 2. Learned about computer networking, Network+ topics, and the process of implementing Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-Point wireless links. Show less
