Dear Prospective Employer,                   SEP 01, 1992

Please accept this as my application for a job in your company.
I am currently working towards the completion of M.Eng. in
Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University, Ottawa
and expect to graduate by September 1992.

As a researcher in Canadian Institute for Telecommunication Research
(CITR) I have worked towards investigation of multiple access strategies
for broadband indoor wireless communications using milli-meter waves.
This work exposed me to challenges in design of communication systems
and application oriented software development.

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, field trials, training service Engineers and documentation of
manufacturing and service procedures. This exposed me to the critical
aspects of hardware and software debugging and understanding the design
of communication systems.

Pursuant to my involvement, I am seeking a challenging research/design
and development position in telecommunication systems or application
oriented software development, where I can utilize my skills. I am
single and willing to relocate.

Please find 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.

Thank you for your consideration.

Professional Experience
=======================

Sep. 90 -- Present 
------------------

Canadian Institute for Telecommunication Research (CITR), Canada. 

As part of M.Eng. thesis working as Research Assistant in CITR to 
investigate radio access to broadband ATM-SONET networks using 
millimeter (20 GHz to 60 GHz) waves.

Developed a SIMSCRIPT and C based simulation tool in UNIX to analyze the
performance (blocking, co-channel interference & transmission quality),
traffic handling capabilities and access scanning algorithms for
wireless access to broadband ATM-SONET networks using millimeter waves
in an indoor office environment. The simulation tool could be used to
study the performance of radio interface to variations in system
parameters, portable traffic, portable density and office building
topologies.
