Catherine R. Email & Phone Number

I'm a 4th year B.S. electrical engineering major at UC San Diego with a specification in communications and digital signal processing. I have used technologies such as MATLAB and Simulink to explore and expand on the digital signal processing topics I've learned in my classes and have completed both the MATLAB and Simulink onramps. I have also incorporated Arduino into my personal Morse Code transmitter projects. I have experience designing and simulating circuits in programs such as PSPICE and LTSPICE as well as building and analyzing the output to circuits using oscilloscopes, signal generators and power supplies. As president of the Amateur Radio club at UC San Diego (KK6UC), I have led radio infrastructure and antennas maintenance using spectrum analyzers. In addition to that, I have prepared events for undergraduate engineering students to use and learn more about radios.

  Rf/Antenna Engineer Intern

  General Atomics

  Jun 2024 - Present - Poway, California, United States

  In the summer of 2024, I had the opportunity to intern at General Atomics in the RF/Antenna engineering position, I was assigned project lead in our project of designing and building a TDMA digital modem. During this internship, I designed, simulated and tested circuits using LTSpice for our receive end. I also programmed the TDMA digital modem using C++.I also was tasked with looking for RF parts such as LNAs, bandpass filters and mixers within certain frequency ranges. I also had the opportunity to analyze a mixer using signal generators and a frequency analyzer and comparing it with the datasheet.
