Services
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

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.
