ERP Presentation Danny Aramouni Boynton Beach Motorola March 22, 2001

Introduction l Danny Aramouni l Florida Atlantic University – B. S. Electrical Engineering Rotation Program (ERP)

ERP Entrance l March 9 - ERP Interviews Window l Thursday, May 4 - Quit FPL (co-op) l Friday, May 5 - Graduated from FAU l Monday, May 8 - Started at Motorola

Overview l Past Work Experiences l Why did I become an Engineer? l Joining the ERP l Rotation Experiences l ERP Involvement l Future Plans l Interests and Conclusion

Past Work Experiences l Florida Power & Light - Co-op – Protection and Control – Substations - Reliability Group – Controls & Advanced Technologies l Albertson's Supermarket – Asst. Customer Service Manager for six years

Why did I become an Engineer? l Always liked Science and Mathematics l Like learning new things l Love the challenges l Chose FAU to stay local

Joining the ERP l Gain a wide variety of experiences l Find out where I’ll be the most productive l Meet and work with high level managers l Establish Contacts l Training

First Rotation l Manufacturing - TOP – Product Engineer l Supervisor: David Narducci l Mentors: George Douglas Bob Schneider

Responsibilities l Tested analyzed Page. Writer product factory failure modes. l Performed various experiments on Page. Writer BER performance in the Anechoic Chamber.

Project Accomplishment l Performed antenna propagation of all two-way pagers to determine optimum condition for antennas placement in factory RF fixture (box).

2 -way Pagers Antennas Page. Writer Transmitting Patch Antenna Lynx/Dragon Chip Antenna (Tx & Rx) Page. Writer Receiving Loop Antenna

Conclusion from Radiation Pattern Measurements l Determined the best antenna position (0 degrees) to be on top in the RF box for all 2 -way paging products l To replace the existing loop antenna with a fixed circular polarized antenna for both Tx and Rx

Results of the Implementation l Improved BER Failures Tremendously l Cut NTF failures by 50% l Provided fixed antenna solution for 2 -way paging products

Technical Competence Gained l Troubleshooting and schematic interpretation skills l DOE knowledge using the Anechoic Chamber l Technical expertise in antenna propagation and design l Extensive knowledge of manufacturing process

Second Rotation l Smart & Connected: SW Tools & Testing l Supervisor: Hakam Fathi l Mentors: Sean Borak Kevin Culigen

SW Tools Responsibilities l Assisted in the Executing of Mosaic V 3. 0 System Test l Designed new Mosaic Chart Engine

What is Mosaic? Software project management metric tool l Collects, stores, and analyzes Data from a web browser l Offers automated solutions in managing metric data l Provide the latest up to date information about any project l http: //engpub. pts. mot. com/proj/mosaic

Designing New Mosaic Chart Engine Project l Designed the chart engine using Macromedia Flash 5 with Generator 2 – Creates interactive Web sites with sophisticated charts, graphs, and tables – Access databases through XML support

Reasons For New Chart Engine? l Past charts (Java Applet ) were not supported by Netscape l Slow to download l Some charts were not even supported by IE l A lot of steps was involved in creating charts

Some of My Design Work

Results of the New Chart Engine Implementation l Instead of using long code of program, now use Data files l Great graphical effects l Supported by any browser l Faster to download l More flexible

Testing Rotation Responsibility l Develop test cases for Odin Project focusing on User Interface.

Canceled l Develop test cases for Odin Project focusing on User Interface.

Technical Competence Gained l Learned Flash 5 and Generator 2 programming l Gained software expertise in developing code in Java Script and XML for web page applications l Developed skills in writing User Requirements and Test Cases for system applications

Third Rotation l Mac. Allan & Camelot RF Development Team l Supervisor: Gene Santana l Mentors: Bryan Soukup Paul Morningstar

Mac. Allan Camelot

Responsibilities Performed various tests & experiments using GSM test equipment l Measured EIRP, SAR, and Antenna Gain performance in BB Chamber, Quantum BCDC labs, and Plantation’s Antenna Research lab l Demonstrated understanding of RF, GSMGPRS fundamentals, and development process through phasing, component matching, FTA process, and test of products l

Projects Accomplishment l Microstrip Board Dielectric constant experiment l RF/SMA connectors experiment

Technical Competence Gained l Gained knowledge of the GSM protocol by using the HP 8922, CMU 200, and the superbench station to perform GSM product testing l Testing and evaluating antenna performance in the anechoic chamber l RF, GSM, and GPRS technical development l Increased interest in RF

ERP Involvement l Community l T 900’s Demo sales l Volunteer l ERP’s Services Steering Committee Mailing Lists

Future Plans l Complete 4 th Rotation and Place out l Masters Degree in Computer Engineering l possible MBA

Interests and Conclusion l Enjoy playing Soccer l Scuba l Very l Like Diving Friendly and Helpful to meet people from different culture
