Technical Experience

SYSDSoft, Systems & Software Development, Cairo, Egypt
Working as a part time communications engineer. He was involved in the implementation and optimization of the 802.16e OFDMA based PHY layer on ADSP-BF561 (Analog Devices DSP kit that is built upon Blackfin Dual core processor- BF561). SYSDSoft was sold to Intel in 2008.

Varkon Semiconductors, Cairo, Egypt
- Designing and implementing the Equalizer block in the single carrier DVB-C system. The design targets the Xillinx SPARTAN3-ADSP FPGA. (June 2008)
- Supervising the overall MATLAB system simulation for the DVB-T2 system. The design targets ASIC. (April 2009).
- Supervising Uplink LTE fixed point model coded in MATLAB (Sept 2011).
- Responsible for coding the fixed point model of one strategic project, namely Eagle, in ANSI C programming language. The model involves wireless point-to-point and point-to-multi-point OFDM based communications with many challenging impairments. The system was built for both SISO and MIMO technologies. The design targets ASIC and it should support a data rate up to 1Gbps for SISO (March 2012).


Genix Développement
- Based on the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) engage grant that has been established between our research lab and Genix Développement, Mr. Ali has designed and implemented a spectrum monitor chip for upstream transmission in HFC network
