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].
