Expert Details

RF and Microwave Engineering for the Aerospace and Defence Sector

ID: 732464 United Kingdom

Request Expert

Expert has 15 years of experience in the design of microwave circuit components for the space, aerospace and defense sectors. These components include planar active circuits such as LNA's, other amplifiers, pin diode switches, attenuators, phase shifters, oscillators and planar passive circuits such as various types of dividers, combiners, filters and couplers. Most of these components are already in active service or in-orbit. His designs vary from very narrow band, to wide-band devices and operate from 10 MHz to 18 GHz.

He is also an expert in the design of multi-band metamaterial-based devices. He has designed microwave circuits using most types of planar transmission-lines including microstrip, coplanar waveguide, stripline, air-suspended stripline, substrate integrated waveguide, etc. depending on the specifications and the application.

Expert has 6 years of experience in space hardware development. He has worked through and understands the full develoment cycle of microwave devices and subsystems for space platforms from design de-risking activities, through PDR, CDR,MRR and TRR. He is very experienced in the required documentation needed for space hardware and wrote Test Specifications, Requirements Verification Procedures, and performed various analyses such as FMECA, Reliability Worst Case and Thermal Analysis.

He is an expert in the design of high-power waveguide components. He produced designs for defense and space applications ranging from C-Band to Ka-Band. These designs include cross-guide, broadside and hybrid couplers, E and H-Plane Tees, Low and High Power load terminations, in-line and orthogonal waveguide-to-coaxial transitions, optimized bends.Moreover, he designed high-power (ferrite-based) circulators and isolators at C-Band and X-Band.

Expert has 13 years of RF/ microwave sub-system design. He developed receivers, upconverters, STALO's for radar and radiometer systems, broadband telemetry transmitters and receivers for UAV's ans sounding rockets as well as subsystems for electronic warfare equipment. He has the expertise to take top-level system requirements and translate them into subsystem and block-level requirements for detailed design and development.

He has worked through and understands the full develoment cycle of microwave devices and subsystems for aerospace and defence platforms from design de-risking activities, through PDR, CDR,MRR and TRR. Expert is very experienced in the required documentation needed for high-reliability hardware and wrote Test Specifications, Requirements Verification Procedures, and performed various analyses such as FMECA, Reliability, Worst Case and Thermal Analysis.
