RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant May’07-July’08
Confidential, Cookeville, TN
Research Work
Worked in Wireless Networking System Lab (WNSL) on the following projects.

Analyzed the performance of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) communication in metal confined environment using Vector Network Analyzer. This research was carried out to see how the UWB communication system work in different metal confined environments like intra-ship, intra-vehicle, intra-engine, manufacturing plants, assembly lines and nuclear plants.
New technology development: Worked towards the system identification and development of novel technology known as Cognitive Radio. A cognitive radio is able to automatically detect and exploit unused spectrum. The research includes monitoring the spectrum continuously to analyze its behavior at different times of the day using spectrum analyzer.

Research Accomplishments

Published one Journal paper and two Conference papers based on the performance of Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) communication in metal confined environment.
Co-author of technical report on Time-Reversal system to Office of Naval Research.
