April
2004 September 2006: Full-time Research Fellow, "Broadband Mobile Linear
Transmitter Amplifiers for WLAN and 4G Communication Systems," Sponsored by
Toshiba-Japan, University of Bristol:
· The
impact of amplifier non-linearity on WLAN (IEEE 802.11a/n) was investigated
for MIMO systems. The impact of clipping on adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR)
and error vector magnitude (EVM) was demonstrated.
· The
factors limiting the performance of envelope elimination and restoration (EER)
transmitters in WLAN applications have been identified and several novel
solutions were proposed.
·
A number of international patents were
filed.
March
2002 April 2004: Full-time Research Associate, E.U.s IST-SCOUT Project,
University of Bristol:
· Reconfigurable
receiver architectures that can provide transparent reconfiguration and
spectrum monitoring functions to the RF front-end have been proposed and
analysed.
· RF
related performance parameters have been investigated for the
characterisation, conformance testing and standardisation of SDR terminals.
· Partners
included: Siemens, Motorola, Toshiba, Kings Collage London, Panasonic,
DoCoMo-Europe, University of Southampton, France Telecom, CSEM, Telefonica,
TTI, and 3G.com.
January 2001 - March 2002: Full-time Research Associate, E.U.s IST-TRUST
Project, University of Bristol:
·
Invented a new RF mixer linearization
technique for SDR and filed a number of international patents.
· A
real-time adaptive control mechanism has been implemented using DSP
techniques.
· Contributed
to another research topic that aimed to design flexible RF filters by using
the MEMS technology.
March
2000: Undergraduate Laboratory
Demonstrator, University of Bristol:
·
Demonstrated 2. Year Wireless Modem Design
Exercise for undergraduate students.
· Together
with the students, implemented a wireless data communication system that can
transfer text between two computers using a wireless link.
January 2000: MSc Laboratory Demonstrator, University of Bristol:
·
Demonstrated Advanced Design System (ADS) Laboratory Design
Exercise 1 & 2 for MSc students.
· Running
simple simulations, amplifier design, matching, biasing and creating layouts
have been demonstrated to the students as an introduction to ADS.
February 1996 - September 1996: Associate Editor, Eastern Mediterranean
University, Cyprus:
·
Wrote articles and undertook managerial
responsibilities for a student magazine.
June
1995 - August 1995: Technical Trainee, BRTK (radio and TV broadcasting
organisation), Cyprus:
·
Worked with transmitters, receivers,
antennas and other related instruments.
Performed repairs on TV and radio transmitters.
