CAREER-RELATED COURSES:
. MASTER THESIS: Title of the thesis is "PAPR REDUCTION IN OFDM
COMMUNICATIONS WITH GENERALIZED DISCRETE FOURIER TRANSFORM". The main
advantage of Generalized Discrete Fourier Transform (GDFT) is; its
ability to design a wide selection of constant modulus orthogonal code
sets, based on the desired performance metrics mimicking the
engineering specs of interest. In this thesis, the Peak to Average
Power Ratio (PAPR) of Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) spread
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) was further
decreased by using a GDFT concept. The performance improvements of
GDFT based PAPR reduction for various Single Carrier Frequency Division
Multiple Access (SCFDMA) communications scenarios were evaluated by
simulations. Performance simulation results showed that PAPR value of
SCFDMA systems for Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase
Shift Keying (QPSK) and 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16-QAM),
digital modulation techniques are decreased up to 2dB.
. WIRELESS NETWORKS: Introduction to wireless network design, management,
and planning stages.
. WIRELESS & PERSONAL COMM SYSTEMS: Introduces emerging personal
communications networks (PCN) and envisioned personal communication
services (PCS).
. DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING: The theory of digital signals and basic
processing techniques.
. COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS: Principles of communication theory applied to
the representation and transmission of information.
. LABORATORY FOR DSP WITH FPGA: This course first introduces today's FPGA
technology, the design tools for the state-of-the-art DSP algorithms
and systems. Then it focuses on computer arithmetic including possible
number representations for DSP with FPGA like distributed arithmetic
(DA) and CORDIC algorithm. Finally, there is a set of DSP
implementations spanning from finite impulse response and infinite
impulse response filters to wavelet processors with two-channel filter
banks and others.
