High-Voltage Arbitrary Waveform Generator

I designed and built a prototype High-Voltage Arbitrary Waveform Generator that outputs complex bipolar signals with seven selectable, positive and negative voltage levels, reaching up to 100 V. This first version operates in the sub‑kHz range and involved end‑to‑end work across schematic design, PCB layout, and firmware to shape and control the waveforms. I'm now working on a next iteration to push higher frequencies, expand the voltage range, and add more output levels.

My Works

From pioneering cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverters in my undergraduate thesis to publishing IEEE conference papers based on my self-built test bench, my research journey has been electrifying! I then shifted gears as a Research Assistant at Giga Tech Ltd., where I harnessed my embedded systems know-how to develop a prototype mechanical ventilator, blending tech with healthcare. Professionally, I've powered through roles at Giga Tech Limited, mastering medical device accuracy, and at United Mymensingh and United Jamalpur Power Ltd., where I navigated the vast operations of power plants. These eclectic experiences fuel my passion as I steer toward my doctoral research goals.

Prototype ventilator in operation

Project Ventilator

Powered by a Cortex®-M4F-based MCU TM4C123G, it operated with and controlled several flow and pressure sensors, O₂ sensors, and CO₂ sensors connected via I²C, along with several controlling valves. It featured UART device-to-device communication with a Linux-based HMI.

Experimental setup of MLI

Experimental Setup of MLI

Using an ATmega2560-based microcontroller (Arduino Mega), I generated gate pulses and controlled the final multileveled output. In simulation, by optimizing gate pulse timings, I achieved even lower harmonics.
