2. Apple. Inc - Intern in RF/OTA wireless group. Sep 12- Jan13
❖ Cellular OTA testing of handheld devices. (TRP and TIS measurement)
❖ WiFi OTA testing (TRP).
❖ SAR certification measurements.
❖ Gained knowledge of FCC, CTIA testing standards
ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Collision detection and avoidance system (RF & Microwave System Engineering)
Designed a Collision Avoidance system (RF system) using Radar and Satellite Communications link that
can be integrated with the automated highway traffic regulation systems of the present and the future.
Achieved good exposure in RF system design. Platform: AWR.
Microwave circuit design and Measurement lab
Design microwave components like Chebyshev & butterworth filters, directional
couplers,Wilkinson power divider, RF switches, amplifiers, and patch antenna). Simulated on
CAD tools & built on PCB for testing and RF measurements ( S- parameters, NF, P1db , P3db).
Single stage Narrow Band & Two stage Broadband amplifier
Designed a broadband and Narrow band amplifier and simulated on AWR. Went through the whole
process of different analysis like AC , DC etc.
Balanced amplifier PCB design (MICROWAVE CIRCUIT DESIGN)
Designed a balanced amplifier with 24 db gain , with good return loss . The balanced amplifier included
two 2 – Stage amplifier cascade along with a 3 db lange / edge coupler . The aim was to keep the design
as small a possible and also to reduce the cost of implementation which was achieved.
