      Communication Systems Engineer Interview

      13 Jul 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Diego, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at MaxLinear (San Diego, CA) in May 2016

      Interview

      Followed up with a recruiter for about 6 months to get the call for an internship.Had a 30 minute technical phone interview after a month after following up with the recruiter. Then had face-to-face interview after following up for 5 months.I was told that 4 people will interview me.The interview was scheduled at 1 pm. Reached about 30 mins earlier. I was asked to take a written test. This came as a surprise to me. After the written test, there was a HR call over the phone in the conference room asking general questions like my availability,eligibility to work, previous work experience etc. Then started the face to face interview. One member walked in and asked questions. After an hour he left and another member walked in and asked questions. So it was like one hour one person.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      In written test- 1) Given QPSK constellation diagram, it has an I-Q imbalance.Q component has +0.5 dB imbalance in magnitude and I component has 0 degree phase imbalance.How will the resulting constellation look? 2) Given a frequency response if we apply kaiser window what are the output coefficients? In Interview- Few basic questions like what is correlation? mathematical formula? If there is frequency offset how will the constellation look like? Difference between correlation and convolution? etc
