University of Bahrain - UOB (currently)

My latest news, i am on leave now from AAST.
I moved with my family to Bahrain
and i joind UOB , Electronics and Electrical Engineering Department.
Teaching Electronics course and PSPICE (first term-fall 07)
second term (spring 08), I taught: Mobile communications and Multimedia systems courses.

Virginia tech. Teaching experiance (Spring 2006)

I joined ECE @ VT during the spring term 2006. I taught two course
1) DSP course for senior undergraduate students.
2) Digital communications for postgraduates (on line course through centra for students, they were out of VT campus and this was a very nice e-learning course)

Promotion to Associate Professor

on 1/12/2005 i got a promotion to the title of
Associate Professor in wireless communications

BROADBAND ANTENNA RESPONSE USING HYBRID TECHNIQUE COMBINING FREQUENCY DOMAIN MoM AND FDTD

R. A. Abd-Alhameed P. S. Excell M. A. Mangoud
Vol:20 No:1 2005

A hybrid technique is proposed for computation of broadband characteristics of an antenna in the presence of a dielectric scatterer. The technique links the frequency domain Method of Moments (MoM) and the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The coupling of these methods is achieved by using the Equivalence Principle, applied over the intervening surface. A great reduction in computation time is achieved in the MoM domain by using an impedance interpolation technique. The Gaussian pulse (GP) and Derivative Gaussian pulse (DGP) are investigated as the excitation sources for the MoM. Examples are given and the results found to be in good agreement with alternative methods.
