Background
I
joined UCT in the
year 2000 and completed my
undergraduate majoring in RF and Microwaves systems. I joined the Radar
and Remote Sensing Group (RRSG) at
UCT during my final undergraduate year when doing a thesis on a SFCW
ground penetrating radar.
Undergraduate work
My undergraduate
thesis was to design a SystemView Simulation of a Stepped Frequency
Continuous Wave Ground Penetrating Radar. The thesis was supervised by
Professor Michael Inggs.
Post Graduate work
My Masters thesis topic is the Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
measurements system hardware simulation. The project came about as a
result of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA)
international project. The
SKA is a new initiative to create a receiving surface of a million
square metres, one hundrend times larger than the biggest receiving
surface now in existence. A number of countries are condenting to host
the SKA core array, and South Africa (S.A) is amongst them. The SKA
core array will have to be located in a remote area, hence all
contendors must perform RFI measurements at their site of choice. The
system that was assembled by the SA RFI
team is reviewed by this thesis
as a number of design problems were encountered.
