Sep 08 – Oct 11: PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering
(High Frequency Electronics)
(Submitted thesis in September 2011 and VIVA is scheduled on 4thNovember)
Queens University Belfast, Belfast, UK.
Thesis Title: Investigate the Effect of Phase Conjugation and Time Reversal Techniques in Free Space and a Reverberant Environment at 2.4 GHz.
The objective of the thesis is to demonstrate numerically (CST-MWS) and experimentally the temporal compression, spatial resolution and beam steering features of both time reversal and phase conjugation techniques in three different environments: free space, a partially reflecting space and a fully reflecting space at microwave frequency (2.4 GHz).

Work Experience
Jun 07 – Sep 07: High Frequency Electronics Research group
ECIT, Queen’s University Belfast, Belfast, UK
A microstrip spiral antenna was designed in ADS by changing the number of turns and the thickness of the substrate and was tested on a Vector Network Analyser in the frequency range of 5 -15 GHz. The radiation pattern was measured in an anechoic chamber and its performance was reanalysed in CST-MWS.
Jun 06 – Sep 06: Radiometrix Ltd, Harrow, UK
Responsibilities - Testing and quality assurance of Low Power Radio Modules (100 - 900 MHz) using a digital oscilloscope, a signal generator and a spectrum analyser and replacing SMD componentson faulty modules.
Teaching Experience
-
Demonstrator for undergraduate labs
- Level 2 (Fields and Waves) - Design and characterize a dipole antenna in NEC and design matching circuits in ADS
