Communications System Design

Operating Frequencies

I have direct experience in the design of communications systems in the following bands for terrestrial, nautical, and aeronautical applications:

• Low Frequency (~ 100kHz)
• High Frequency (1.5 - 30 MHz)
• Very High Frequency (VHF, 30 - 200MHz)
• Ultra-High Frequency (UHF, 200 - 400MHz)
• Satellite bands, L-band, C-band, Ku-band

Applications

• Naval shore-ship-shore communications
• Ship-ship communications
• Air Force and Air Traffic Control ground-air-ground communications
• Signals monitoring and processing systems
• Ground mobile applications
• Frequency management systems
• Global Maritime Distress and Safety Systems (GMDSS)
• Cositing applications
• EMI/EMC analysis and planning
• Terrestrial microwave links
• Shelterized communications

Skill Set

• Antenna modelling
• Antenna siting
• Transmitter/Receiver cositing analysis
• Air Traffic Control Frequency planning
• Communications system test and acceptance
• Reliability modelling
• Specification writing

Design Report

All design work is finalised for the client in a comprehensive report, including design calculations, models, conclusions and recommedndations, and a verbal briefing and question and answer time.
