Conceived the tests for development model validation & designed an automated test set for phase and amplitude calibration of multi-channel wideband receivers for the Navy EA-6B ADVCAP direction finding system. Weeks of normal testing time were eliminated, allowing the project to meet tight time and budget constraints. The test set integrated more functions and achieved higher level of automation than any the company had previously developed.Conducted a broad range of digital and microwave… Show more Conceived the tests for development model validation & designed an automated test set for phase and amplitude calibration of multi-channel wideband receivers for the Navy EA-6B ADVCAP direction finding system.
