Digital Radio & DSP Specialist

Digital radio hardware/software designer. I specialize in DSP algorithms implemented in FPGAs and ASICs. Modulations include BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, 128QAM, 256QAM, QPRS, OFDM, and DSSS. Data rates to 1 Gbps using hybrid hardware/software methods. Have created patented and proprietary designs in phase locked loops, symbol recovery, carrier recovery, modulation, demodulation, decision directed loops, adaptive equalizers, and forward error correction. Carry designs through from concept to volume production automatic test equipment.
