Graduate Research Assistant (08/2003 – Present):
Department of Electrical Engineering, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC. Ø Designed, developed and tested a miniaturized Hilbert PIFA (planar inverted-F antenna) for Dual Band (900 and 1900 MHz) mobile wireless applications Ø Designed, developed and tested a new class of miniature embedded inverted-F antennas (IFAs) for 2.4 GHz WLAN (wireless local area network) applications Ø Developed a new method to predict the resonance frequency of Hilbert IFAs without full-wave electromagnetic simulation Ø Designed, developed, fabricated and tested a thin (6 mm from ground) wide-band (1.7 – 2.5 GHz), directional dipole antenna (Avg. gain 7 dBi) on electromagnetic bandgap structures (EBGs) Ø Designed, fabricated and tested a miniature subcutaneously implanted antenna for GPS application. Tested in open field with SIRF Evaluation Kit III Ø Designed and tested wideband smaller planar unit-cell EBG structures and their applications to design thin (0.02l from the ground) dipole at 1.8 GHz. Ø Developed a two element MIMO diversity antenna system for WLAN application. Ø Designed, fabricated and tested several lumped-element and planar wideband (1.7 – 2.5 GHz) microstrip baluns. Ø Designed, fabricated and tested band pass filters using coupled line and hairpin line.
