Professional Experience
Sr. Radar Engineer at Federal Aviation Administration, OKC (Dec. 2016 to Present)
▪ System Support
o Currently supports the design, repair and modification of long and short-range radars such as
ARSR-1,2,3,4, and ASR-11, ASR-9, ASR-8 and 5’ and 6’ open planner array beacons for search,
detection, tracking multiple targets at once.
▪ Managing Both Near Field Anechoic Chamber and Far Field Outdoor Range
o The anechoic chamber is equipped with small probe near-field test setup. The antenna under test
(AUT) is mounted in a stationary fashion and the near-field probe operating up to 26 GHz is moved
along a planar surface in both X and Y directions so that a grid of field samples can be taken.
o The far field outdoor is large free space elevated range where transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) are
mounted on tall towers and are separated 1700 feet. Tree diffraction fences are placed between
transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) to suppress the specular reflection point from the ground.
▪ Managing New Contracts and Modifies an Existing Contracts and Projects
o Writes a proposal for new/existing systems of radar including technical specification
o Evaluates and analysis open bid contracts
o Writes single source justification (SSJ) when there is one potential vendor
o Works with contracting officer and legal team to implement the contract smoothly

o Mumma Radar Lab (MRL) is equipped with four robotic arms, each one having a dual
polarized horn antenna operating up to 18 GHz, and a central turntable which rotates at
variable yet controlled rate. The four robotic arms and turntable operate under the control
of a single, integrated processor. The MRL has developed an advanced algorithm and had
the capability to mimic the motion of both SAR and ISAR.

▪ Research, Simulation and Measurement Analysis
o Conducted research, simulation, design and test on multiple devices such as different types of antennas
and microwave components used in different types of radars (L, S, C, X, K and mm band).
o Performed radar measurements such monostatic and bistatic RCS in the region of L to K band.
o Conducted Six Sigma projects to reduce the number of simulation software used and came up one
software compatible with all other software. This eliminated the number of software license and
constant version upgrade that each software required.
Design Engineer Lockheed Martin in Eagan MN, (May 08 to Sept. 08)
▪ Simulation and Rigorous Measurement Analysis
o Designed microwave front-end receiver solid-state devices such as low noise amplifier (LNA), mixer,
local oscillator and so forth.
o Simulated different types of antennas utilizing 3D electromagnetic software called HFSS
and measured the gain, radiation pattern, impedance, beam-width and polarization of the
antenna.
Patent Examiner USPTO in Alexandria VA, (Jan. 07 to May 07)
▪ Technical Rigorous Analysis
o Investigated the authenticity of patents related to RF and microwave designs applications.
o Issued cutting-edge RF and microwave patents by rigorously analyzing the submitted
technical paper.

Project Experience
University of Dayton, Dayton OH (Sep 2011 to Nov 2016)
Monostatic and Bistatic RCS Measurement
o Conducted RCS measurement of different objects such as sphere of different diameter, plates
with different size, dihedral and corner reflector.
SAR and ISAR Measurement and Analysis
o For SAR measurement, fixed the target at the center of the chamber and rotated antenna in
very small increments around the target and collected the backscattered field in both
monostatic and bistatic; Repeated process without target in order to subtract the background
and the result is analyzed and plotted through Matlab.
o For ISAR measurement, we placed the target on a turn table that has various speed and fixed
the antenna; Collected the data from (0:360°) with one degree of increment; after background
subtraction, analyzed the data through Matlab.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Measurement and Analysis
o Conducted GPR measurement for the purpose of detecting and imaging different objects such
as conducting pipe, non-conducting pipe and roots buried in a sand and analyzed via Matlab;
all measurements took place within a controlled environment.
RF Tomography Measurement and Analysis
o Conducted (RFT) measurement for the purpose of reconstructing 2D image of a target;
Illuminated target from multiple angles by placing multiple antennas around the target and the
reflected signal is recorded via VNA. The frequency domain data is analyzed and the 2D
image is reconstructed through Matlab.

together by cascading and measured their S-parameters then uploaded the data of each two
port through Matlab and converted into T-matrix then multiplied the two T-matrix to get the
total of T-matrix and converted back to S-parameter and compared the other S-parameter
found through VNA by using Tx line, Auto Cad and VNA.
