Hired and Developed a Team of 8 Engineers which performed all RF Engineering functions necessary for the Design, Development, Optimization, and perform Capacity Analysis/Capacity Resource Allocation for 1000 cell sites using three technologies (CDMA1x, EVDO, LTE). This level of engineering resource efficiency is very rare in the wireless industry.

Developed all processes and tools used to manage the design, development, performance, capacity monitoring and capacity growth of the Northern California Network.

As VP of Engineering I was responsible for all RTI Engineering Disciplines (R&D, Advanced Technology, Applications Engineering, and Sustaining Engineering). Managed the development of four different products, and managed the development of Repeater Technologies’ advanced technology products, including a broad bandwidth digital IF filtering solution for OTA repeaters, and digital RF echo cancellation system for use in OTA repeaters [to reduce inter-antenna isolation requirements].

One major accomplishment at Repeater Technologies was the patent [Delay Combiner System for CDMA Repeaters and Low Noise Amplifiers (6,125,109)]. This differentiating technology provided a significant competitive advantage allowing Repeater Technologies to gain a large portion of the US CDMA repeater business.

Hired, trained, and developed a team of 8 engineers which were responsible for the RF design, development, optimization, capacity monitoring and provisioning of the San Francisco MTA South (half of the Northern California MTA) wireless CDMA Network. Our scope of responsibility was very broad; inclusive of all RF engineering aspects related to the CDMA network buildout. This role also required developed all of the CDMA network development processes, tools, and guidelines.

From an innovation standpoint: pioneered the use of the dual polarization antenna diversity scheme; implemented the first large scale network deployment to exclusively use the slant-45 dual polarization diversity scheme (Fresno, ’95); this at a time when spatial separation diversity scheme was in ubiquitously use and the use of polarization diversity was very controversial. The results of this research were published in the popular paper “A Comparison of Spatial Diversity, VH Polarization Diversity, and Slant 45 Polarization Diversity Schemes at 1900 MHz” [authored].
