RF/GPS Hardware, EMI/EMC Compliance, and Engineering Education

1. EMI/EMC Debug Consulting

Failing FCC or MIL-STD-461? Get to root cause fast.

  • 2-Hour Emergency Triage: Zoom or on-site. Find the spur, resonance, or ground loop causing failure
  • 1-Day Pre-Compliance Scan: I bring SA, near-field probes, LISN to your lab. Test before you pay the cert lab
  • GPS C/N0 Desense Fix: Specialty in 1575.42MHz interference from DC-DC, clocks, and co-site transmitters
  • Design Reviews: PDN, grounding, shielding, filtering for first-pass compliance

Standards: FCC Part 15, CE, CISPR 22, MIL-STD-461, DO-160

2. RF/GPS Design Services

From schematic to shipping hardware with ICD-GPS-200 validation.

  • GPS/GNSS Receiver Design: L1/L2 RF front-end, TCXO, baseband interface. My Magellan design shipped in 3+ products
  • RF Circuit Design: LNA, mixer, VCO, PA chains. ADS simulation, cascade analysis, matching networks
  • Antenna Integration: Patch, PIFA, helical for GPS/cellular. HFSS/CST simulation + VNA test
  • PCB Layout for RF: Altium, controlled impedance, via fencing, PDN design for EMI
  • Validation: Spirent testing for C/N0, TTFF, jamming. Keysight VNA/SA bring-up

Applications: Navigation, Defense, Automotive, Medical, IoT

3. Teaching & Mentoring

Industry-taught RF, EMI, and GPS for students and teams.

  • Adjunct/Professor of Practice: Available for RF Circuits, Antennas, EMI/EMC, Senior Design at DFW universities
  • Guest Lectures: “Debugging GPS C/N0 Failures,” “Passing FCC/MIL-STD-461 on First Test,” “Antenna Integration”
  • EE Tutoring: 1-on-1 for Circuits, EM, RF Design, Senior Design. 20yr Motorola/Magellan engineer
  • Corporate Training: Pre-compliance EMC, GPS receiver design, RF PCB layout for your engineering team

Credentials: MSEE, 20+ years industry, mentored 15+ engineers

How I Work

1. Free 15-Minute Call

We discuss your FCC failure, GPS issue, or teaching need. If I can’t help, I’ll tell you immediately.

2. Fixed-Scope Quote

2-hour debug minimum $500. 1-day pre-scan $1500. Custom design/retainer quoted after call. No surprises.

3. Deliver & Document

You get root cause, fix recommendation, and test data. I sign NDA and provide invoice for Net-15 payment.
