"Design of Norton Amplifier for Multicouplers"
(Couple of prototypes were designed and tested by me)
The objective is to replace FET with norton amplifier, so that we can reduce noise <3dB (generally get lot of Bad FET's). While keeping Intermodulation suppression IP2 & IP3 at respective levels.
At University of Glamorgan, under the supervision of Dr. Ifiok Otung
“Adaptive Power Control for high availability Satellite links in Tropical climates”
The research suggests, the high availability satellite link during monsoon period can be achieved using Adaptive power control and the work is carried out over a tropical region where heavy attenuation due to rain occurs. The obtained results suggest that to achieve annual predicted link availability, uses an excess of resources for 60% of a year to provide availability for 20% of a year during monsoon periods. To overcome the excess usage of resources, Adaptive power control can be used to improve the link availability during heavy attenuation period with decrease in antenna size up to 40%.
