Skills & Abilities
RADAR SYSTEMS
• Experience with corporate feed, limited field of view, and overlapped subarrays radar architectures.
• Experience with monopulse and digital subarray/element level beamforming and signal processing.
• Experience in developing FPGA based digital receiver/exciter architectures.
SIGNAL PROCESSING
• Developed fixed point DSP requirements and Matlab simulation for arbitrary waveform generation, downconversion, downsampling, and RF/IF equalization for distributed receiver/exciter architectures.
• Developed time delay anti alias filters, RF/IF equalization filters, and decimation filters for variable output sample rates.
• Performed trade analysis on digital filter design for variable output sample rates to support required cancellation ratios.
• Experience in processing real and complex data, calculating clutter attenuation, dynamic range, antenna patterns, performing single pass, two pass, and stretch signal processing for detection and calibration.
RADAR CALIBRATION DESIGN
• Developed system, array, and receiver/exciter NB/MB/WB calibration process which included ADC/DAC alignment, WB Time Delay digital filters, Amplitude/Phase alignment, IF/RF equalization algorithms and digital filters, and channel noise alignment for distributed digital receiver/exciter radar architectures.
• Developed Beam Steering Generator (BSG) requirements for Tech Demo radar. BSG software calculates the element level phase and amplitude setting based on calibration constants, angle steer, and notching/pattern synthesis.
• Developed system requirements, algorithms, and simulations for RF mutual coupling realignment and health assessment of active transmit/receive elements for the production next generation Navy radars. Achieved customer requirements for in the field alignment and calibration of LRUs.
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
• Key member of a small integration team that assembled, integrated, and calibrated the Tech Demo radar backend processing equipment in the Near and Far Field ranges. Responsible for execution and integrating of the software to perform the calibration of the array, receiver/exciters, and overall system. Responsible for test setup, test execution, data collection, and post processing of data to support 12 Technical Performance Measurements part of the Critical Technology Elements required by the customer.
• Extensive experience in developing Matlab based analysis tools to assist in daily system operational testing, signal processing, pattern analysis, calibration assessment, and tracking performance.
• Was a key contributor to installation of the EDM X Band radar at Wallops Island. Was a key contributor in the successful integration of the FDFI and Calibration software for this radar.
• Performed system level RCS alignment on X Band radar at Wallops Island using deployed aerostats and spherical balloons.
• Was a key co...
