Education:

Master of Science in Electrical Engineering

University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas Expected

Graduation: May 2011

Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics & Communication

Gujarat University, Gujarat, India

Graduation: August 2008

Projects:

* Wireless Communications - Implementation of 2x2 MIMO system

Developed and compared a simulation reference system using MATLAB to

implement 2x2 MIMO system and analyzed the SER performance using the

simple implementation of MIMO and with implementation using Alamouti

code. Using Alamouti, space time block code is implemented which gives

trade off performance for multiplexing gain and time diversity.

* Digital Communication Systems - Designed a physical layer simulation

system

Using BPSK modulation and using FIR channel, designed and simulated a

channel equalizer using MLSE (Viterbi Algorithm)in MATLAB assuming

channel is known and using MDD(minimum distance decision) assuming

channel is unknown for a multi path channel (introducing inter symbol

interference). Analyzed raw BER and coded BER for different algorithm and

comparing theoretical and practical value.

* Embedded Controller Systems - RS-485 based bidirectional

communications system

On PIC 24FJ64GA002 microchip board, with one main controller and the

nodes like LED, stepper motor, Graphic LCD, weather board and other

peripherals. Done coding with assembly and C languages in MPLAB.

* Digital Signal Processing - Simulation of various filters on MATLAB

Simulated various MATLAB code on various convolution method, IIR and FIR

filer design, Band pass, low pass, high pass filter design, least square

approach to reconstruct the original signal.

* Advanced Embedded Systems - Implementation of RTOS

Developed Real Time Operating System (RTOS) for the 24FJ64GA002

controller that implements cooperative and preemptive functions with

support for semaphores, yielding and system timers.

* Advanced Embedded Systems - Developed moving Rover that moves

Working on Ethernet side to establish the TCP connection via three way

handshaking on the project of rover to find the desired beacon and send

information to the HTML page on the PC via RF communication from PC to

Rover respectively.

* Data Communications - Analyze Network Protocols

The operation of the interface between a computer and the internet on

Wireshark (Network analyze Tool). Separate each protocol and analyze with

port number and window size.

* Microprocessor Systems - Design a processor system

To design hardware and software for a system capable of capturing analog

signals at rates of 1Msps or higher with complete schematics, theory of

operation, and requested low-level software functions. Schematics for the

8086 processor, address latches, data buffers, bus controller, memory,

clock generation, DMA controller, and analog interface.

Current Semester Projects:

* Advanced Microprocessor - Design cache memory and pipeline for the

microprocessor.

* Advanced Wireless - Designing an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) communication

system.

* Computer Architecture - Implementation of computer architecture codes in

python.
