About Me

I am a master of engineering student at UBC. I took various courses associated with wireless communication systems which some important of those are mobile communications network, wireless communication systems, antenna propagation, detection and estimation of signals in noise.

Education

University of Life

MEng in Electrical and Computer Engineering May 2014 - May 2015

University of British Columbia

  • Examining multiple access techniques in LTE network in wireless systems
  • Study of wireless power transfer through different types of antennas
  • Research into the way of transmitting 3D video over LTE network
  • Knowledge of working with signal processing devices such as signal analyzer and local oscillator
  • Familiar with RF system design such as LNA and Mixer
  • Intermediate knowledge of reliable data transfer and also IP addressing and processing

Work

UBC Radio Science Lab, Vancouver, Canada

5G mmWave project JANUARY 2015 - Present

Evaluating the channel behaviour while using new equipment with high frequency (30 GHz). Basically, in order to conduct the experiment, we use two ports of VNA to compare TX and RX signal to obtain the associated scattering parameter (S21). The goal is to examine the effects of obstacles such as wall, whiteboard, etc., on received power.

Siradel, Vancouver, Canada

RF measurement assistant SEPTEMBER 2014 - JANUARY 2015

Installed TX antenna on rooftop of buildings and measured received power to analyze the behaviour of the radio channel via sounder. A portable RX was used to measure the strength of signal with respect to different locations.

AsiaTech Internet Co.

Telecommunication Specialist SEPTEMBER 2013 - MARCH 2014

Installed and tested ADSL equipment based on the released documents by engineering group.

Skills

Human beings are living to learn some skills related to their lives and deploy them to represent their theoretical knowledge as a simple way. In wireless communication, the range of the software used to simulate the system is vast. However, researchers prefer to use minority of available software such as Matlab, LTE simulator and so on. Some of my specific skills can be demonstrated as follows:

  • Matlab
  • Microsoft Office
  • Cadence
  • LTE Network Simulator
