André Medawar

I am part of the Research and Development team. My experience can be presented as the following:

October 2010 to July 2011; Contributing in the development of a Doppler Lidar prototype that is mounted on top of a wind turbine:
- New design validation
- Supply Chain
- Integration and data Validation
- Onsite Installation in Europe

August 2011 to February 2012; Participation in the industrialisation process of a Doppler Lidar product that is integrated in the nacelle of a wind turbine:
- New design validation
- Supply Chain
- Production supervision
- Integration and product Validation

The internship prompted me to enquire about, analyze, assemble and validate LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) systems that will serve the field of wind energy.

The internship consisted of establishing a connector model for multimode Optical Fibers

- Co-Publication of a paper for the IWCS conference
- Conception of an optical fiber connector model
- Study of the effect of different fiber characteristics on the performance of a transmission system
- Modeling of connector losses between two multimode fibers.
- Comparison to measurements done in the laboratory.

Developping a LabVIEW Software for a RadioFrequencyIDentification application

The objective of the traineeship was to establish an Optical link with a Polymer Optical Fiber for the AFDX (an Avionic Ethernet Protocol)

- Contact with German & European suppliers
- Test of the link
