Abstract – Imagine that regular RF hardware like Bluetooth, Radio, TV, or GPS can be an application you install on a specific platform! Like the revolution of smart phones that embedded hardware applications such as calculator, clock, and alarm as applications on your smartphone. Instead of designing a specific RF hardware, you may be offered blocks and software functions to design and prototype new RF algorithms, modulation techniques, and analysis in minutes and hours instead of taking months and years just to prototype a new design and fabricating the hardware for that. You are going to witness a revolutionary technology that enables you to develop an RF system as we speak.

Mr. Mohammad Salah is an R&D engineer at National Instruments and is currently involved in microwave products and manufacturing of automotive Radars and 5G technology. He started designing digital circuits, embedded systems, and selling them during college education. He founded Legend Technologies for electronics design and manufacturing in 2006 and then joined the Cyclotron Project in the Atomic Energy Authority in Egypt in 2009. He joined National Instruments in 2012 to work on RF platforms and moved to microwave R&D. Mohammad graduated with a B.S. degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering from Cairo University and had post graduate studies from Helwan University in Artificial Intelligence. He founded Inventors and Scientists Preparation Institute in Egypt where he supervised 112 B.S. and M.S. students from 2002 to 2012.
