Experience

Berkeley Wireless Research Center - U.C. Berkeley

Multi-Carrier Multi-Antenna Systems Group: August 2004 - Present

Research Assistant

• Developed a module to serially program an ADC/DAC chip and multiple PLLs. Included button and jumper interfaces to change settings on demand. Implemented on Xilinx Virtex-IIP FPGAs. Designed and tested with MATLAB / Simulink (using the Xilinx blockset for Simulink).
• Learned the workings of the board and vital components through schematics and datasheets.
• Tested basic functionality with oscilloscopes, multimeters, spectrum analyzers.
