PROJECTS

Verilog HDL (Using SynaptiCAD)

Digital System Design of an 8-bit Up/Down Counter:

• Designed an 8-bit up/down counter that has different logical units. An application for

this is semi-automated parking lot gate.

• Wrote Test benches of top level module in Verilog and tested it for all possible input

combinations.

Wireless Networking (Using OPNET Simulator)

• Performance investigation of 802.11: Simulated the performances of WLAN overall

throughput in a given network when only one or more than one node generates traffic

with Access Point (AP) enabled and disabled studying the performances of Queue

Size, Medium Access Delay, Dropped Data Packets, and effects of RTS/CTS

with/without AP on packet transfer time (enabled and disabled conditions) during

transmission in the network.

LTE

• Studied and observed the behavior of LTE network in three different scenarios- 7

Cells_video_app, EPC_backbone, uplink_scheduling_study.

Wireless Communications (Using MATLAB)

Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radio

• The three spectrum sensing techniques : Matched Filtering, Energy Detection, Cyclo-

stationary Detection methods for primary user presence in the radio environment are

performed in MATLAB and analyzed whether the spectrum can be utilized by the

secondary user or not.

Radar Systems (Using MATLAB)

Linear Phased Array

• The antenna is operated in a phased array mode for search operations, array

simulations involve obtaining results for gain, beamwidth and overall array radiation

pattern for various array topologies.

• Developed MATLAB code for array topology using Dolph-Chebyshev distributions

and Taylor distributions.

Advanced VLSI

3D Integrated Circuit Design

(Tejaswi Uppalapati) 2 of 2

• Due to high integration, increased power density, low thermal conductivities, the

temperature and leakage power of IC (inter-dependent) are increasing continuously.

• Proposed and discussed different methods and algorithms to minimize temperature

and leakage power.

Analog IC Design

Two stage Op-amp

• Using Cadence virtuoso, schematic, layout of two stage op-amp is drawn and

executed.
