PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
NORTH AMERICAN MOBILE SYSTEMS, Woodside, NY (11/2012 to 4/2015)
Field Engineer primarily responsible for the on-site evaluation of the One World Trade Center First Responder and Durst two-way radio communication system (Distributed Antenna System)
The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), Return Loss, Cable Loss, and Distance to Fault (DTF) measurements were taken on all transmission cables, risers, and antennas using an Anritsu Site Master Spectrum Analyzer. Acceptance granted upon compliance to the manufacturer specifications and the Principal Engineer's requirements.
Signal loss measurements were taken at several points on each floor while a test signal of 10dBm was applied at the riser. An Anritsu Site Master was used to record the measurements. Each Antenna's radiated emission was measured, in dBm, using a Coyote Dual Modular Receiver. Acceptance granted upon compliance to the Principal Engineer's design calculations.
Propagation: While a test signal set to the design requirements was applied at the riser, the power level (DownLink) was mapped on each floor. Different colors were used to distinguish power level ranges required by the FDNY. An Anritsu Site Master Spectrum Analyzer was used to record the measurements.
Voice Quality recordings were taken using portable Motorola radios and recording equipment. The DownLink voice data was recorded at each floor while the UpLink voice data was recorded at the system's repeater or control center. Voice Quality acceptance is granted by the FDNY.
Bench tested One World Trade Center components (tappers, couplers, antennas, etc) prior to installation.
Generate test data result reports for Principal Engineer review.
