Training courses attended:
. GSM Training:
Mar'07
Attended one day GSM training at BSNL, Vidyanagar, INDIA to get an over
view of the network activities that are undertaken by GSM service
provider.
. CDMA Workshop:
Sept'06
The Workshop was designed so as to provide an insight of CDMA technology.
It was conducted under the aegis of IEEE Gujarat Section, Asia Pacific.
. RF equipment:
Aug'06
Attended a daylong seminar conducted by in-house faculty at Sardar Patel
University to introduce students, various RF equipments like spectrum
analyzer, CMU-200 etc. under the aegis of IEEE Gujarat section, Asia
Pacific.
Projects:
Active Shunt Peaked Amplifier:
. Studied the electrical characteristics of a circuit that emulated the
performance of an inductor.
. The aim of this project was to improve the Bandwidth using SHUNT
PEAKING technique.
. Developed active shunt peaked Broadband Amplifier using MOSFET and
achieved overall improvement of 25% in the bandwidth with a decent
overall gain of 2.5
Design of a digital communication system:
Part 1:
. Designed a Digital Communication System in MATLAB that implements the
transmitter, receiver, and AWGN channel using sample based simulations
and generated the results for 2-, 4-, and 8-PAM and 4-QAM.
. Project consisted of following functional blocks: Random bit
generator, Symbol Mapper, SQRC matched filters AWGN generator, Symbol
detector, inverse symbol Mapper, BER Calculation. At the end,
compared the results obtained for various formats.
Part 2:
. Investigated: (a) The effect of frequency offset on BER at various
SNRs.
. (b) The effect of power amplifiers on the signal quality. Also,
quantified the SNR penalty on a BPSK signal which resulted from
nonlinearity of the Amplifier.
Socket Programming using C:
. Developed a self-organizing network of stand-alone nodes that discover
each other and finds the most efficient route to communicate to one of
the several antennae.
. All communications were implemented using TCP and UDP sockets in
client-server architecture.
Reports:
Distributed measurements for Estimating and Updating Cellular system
performance:
. The main aim of this study was to understand the use of wireless
sensor network to collect distributed parameters like power
measurements etc. and make use of these parameters to optimize the
Performance of cellular network by assisting the radio resource
management with those Parameters.
Optical Fiber Communication: Key "Physical layer issues with WDMA in
multiuser networking":
. In this report, studied and familiarized with the key physical layer
issues one encounters in a typical WDMA system i.e. Coherent Cross
Talk and EDFA Gain transients, the statistical analysis of their
impact on system and various ways to mitigate their effects.
Course Work:
. RF Systems and Hardware, RF filter design, Communication Systems,
Mobile Communications, Error Correcting Codes, Random Processes,
Microwave Devices, Optical Fiber Communications, Computer Networks,
Analysis of Algorithms, Microprocessors, Basic VLSI Design,
