5
Past Work Experiences

• Florida Power Light - Co-op
• Protection and Control
• Substations - Reliability Group
• Controls Advanced Technologies
• Albertson's Supermarket
• Asst. Customer Service Manager for six years

6
Why did I become an Engineer?

• Always liked Science and Mathematics
• Like learning new things
• Love the challenges
• Chose FAU to stay local

7
Joining the ERP

• Gain a wide variety of experiences
• Find out where Ill be the most productive
• Meet and work with high level managers
• Establish Contacts
• Training

8
First Rotation

• Manufacturing - TOP
• Product Engineer
• Supervisor David Narducci
• Mentors George Douglas
• Bob Schneider

9
Responsibilities

• Tested and analyzed PageWriter product factory
  failure modes.
• Performed various experiments on PageWriter BER
  performance in the Anechoic Chamber.

10
Project Accomplishment

• Performed antenna propagation of all two-way
  pagers to determine optimum condition for
  antennas placement in factory RF fixture (box).

11
2-way Pagers Antennas
PageWriter Transmitting Patch Antenna
Lynx/Dragon Chip Antenna (Tx Rx)
PageWriter Receiving Loop Antenna
12
Conclusion from Radiation Pattern Measurements

• Determined the best antenna position (0 degrees)
  to be on top in the RF box for all 2-way paging
  products
• To replace the existing loop antenna with a fixed
  circular polarized antenna for both Tx and Rx

13
Results of the Implementation

• Improved BER Failures Tremendously
• Cut NTF failures by 50
• Provided fixed antenna solution for 2-way paging
  products

14
Technical Competence Gained

• Troubleshooting and schematic interpretation
  skills
• DOE knowledge using the Anechoic Chamber
• Technical expertise in antenna propagation and
  design
• Extensive knowledge of manufacturing process

15
Second Rotation

• Smart Connected SW Tools Testing
• Supervisor Hakam Fathi
• Mentors Sean Borak
• Kevin Culigen

16
SW Tools Responsibilities

• Assisted in the Executing of Mosaic V3.0 System
  Test
• Designed new Mosaic Chart Engine

17
What is Mosaic?

• Software project management metric tool
• Collects, stores, and analyzes Data from a web
  browser
• Offers automated solutions in managing metric
  data
• Provide the latest up to date information about
  any project

18
Designing New Mosaic Chart Engine Project

• Designed the chart engine using Macromedia Flash
  5 with Generator2
• Creates interactive Web sites with sophisticated
  charts, graphs, and tables
• Access databases through XML support

19
Reasons For New Chart Engine?

• Past charts (Java Applet ) were not supported by
  Netscape
• Slow to download
• Some charts were not even supported by IE
• A lot of steps was involved in creating charts

20
Some of My Design Work
21
Results of the New Chart Engine Implementation

• Instead of using long code of program, now use
  Data files
• Great graphical effects
• Supported by any browser
• Faster to download
• More flexible

22
Testing Rotation Responsibility

• Develop test cases for Odin Project focusing on
  User Interface.

23
Canceled

• Develop test cases for Odin Project focusing on
  User Interface.

24
Technical Competence Gained

• Learned Flash 5 and Generator 2 programming
• Gained software expertise in developing code in
  Java Script and XML for web page applications
• Developed skills in writing User Requirements and
  Test Cases for system applications

25
Third Rotation

• MacAllan Camelot RF Development Team
• Supervisor Gene Santana
• Mentors Bryan Soukup
• Paul Morningstar

26
MacAllan
Camelot
27
Responsibilities

• Performed various tests experiments using GSM
  test equipment
• Measured EIRP, SAR, and Antenna Gain performance
  in BB Chamber, Quantum BCDC labs, and
  Plantations Antenna Research lab
• Demonstrated understanding of RF, GSM-GPRS
  fundamentals, and development process through
  phasing, component matching, FTA process, and
  test of products

28
Projects Accomplishment

• Microstrip Board Dielectric constant experiment
• RF/SMA connectors experiment

29
Technical Competence Gained

• Gained knowledge of the GSM protocol by using the
  HP8922, CMU 200, and the superbench station to
  perform GSM product testing
• Testing and evaluating antenna performance in the
  anechoic chamber
• RF, GSM, and GPRS technical development
• Increased interest in RF
