Dear Prospective Employer,                   Jan. 25, 1993 

Please accept this as my application for a job in your company.
I completed my M.Eng. in Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton 
University, Ottawa. I am currently working as a Research Associate in
Canadian Institute for Telecommunication Research (CITR). I would be 
completing my work in CITR by January end and I am available for 
employment from Feb. 1, 1993.

My specialization in M.Eng. is in broadband micro-cellular Wireless
Local Area Networks (WLANs), but my talents are as diverse as my
previous assignments. As a researcher in CITR, I was involved in the
preliminary investigation of micro-cellular ATM-SONET based broadband
WLANs using millimeter waves (20--60GHz) for indoor office environments.
Developed a simulation tool using C and SIMSCRIPT in UNIX to study the
system performance to temporal & fixed portable traffic fluctuations,
variations in RF propagations and building topologies.

During 1988-1990 as an employee of Indchem Electronics Ltd., India, I
was involved in the development of 128 port digital stored program
controlled Rural Automatic Exchange (RAX) and Private Automatic Branch
Exchange (PABX). This assignment included the development of system
prototype (Hardware/Software debugging & development of necessary
modifications), system field trials, training Service Engineers and
documentation of manufacturing and service procedures. This work exposed
me to the critical aspects of hardware and software debugging and in
particular to switching architectures (128 port Time-Time & 256 port
Time-Space), digital multiplexing (both RAX & PABX) and 8/16 port data
switching (PABX). 

Pursuant to my involvement, I am seeking a challenging research/design
and development position in telecommunication systems and/or
systems/application oriented software design/development, where I can
utilize my skills. I am single and willing to relocate. I have enclosed
a copy of my resume for your reference. I would appreciate the
opportunity to meet with you to discuss my qualification and possibility
of employment. 

I thank you for your consideration. 
Sincerely,

V.R.Manikka Thyagarajan.
