Graduate Projects

Implementation of Convolutional Encoder and Viterbi Decoder:

Developed VHDL and MATLAB codes for Convolutional Encoder and Viterbi Decoder using the hardware description language.

Created a customized IP using XPS EDK to interface with the hardware part.

Tested, Simulated and Debugged the input and output data using Matlab System Generator by introducing some errors into the program and Simulated using Xilinx (ISE).

Tools used: MATLAB, XILINX (ISE).

Study on Optimal Error Regulation of a String of Moving Vehicles:

Designed an optimal linear feedback system using the theory of optimal control which regulates the position and velocity of every vehicle in a densely packed string of high-speed moving vehicles.

Tools used: MATLAB and SIMULINK.

Design of Control Law in a Magnetic Levitation System:

Designed a magnetic suspension system where a ball of magnetic material is suspended by means of electromagnet whose current is controlled by feedback from optimally measured ball position.

Used different types of techniques such as transform techniques, state space techniques and optimal control techniques to reduce the cost based on the cost function provided.

Tools used: MATLAB and SIMULINK.

Design of a GaAs FET Low Noise Amplifier:

Designed a low noise amplifier with noise figure less than 2 dB Designing input and output matching networks along with the circuit schematic using Advanced Design System.

Determined the stability of the transistor and finally plotting S-parameter phase and magnitude plots along with the 3dB bandwidth and insertion loss.

Tools used: ADVANCED DESIGN SYSTEM and SMITH CHART.

Work Experience:

Worked as Research Intern at Regional Telecom Training center 2011-2013. (RTTC, Gachibowli, India.)

Reliable Control of Ship-Mounted Satellite Tracking Antenna:

Monitored antenna as a key element in overseas satellite telecommunication. The control system directs the on-board antenna towards a chosen satellite while the high sea waves disturb the antenna.

Worked in a team environment to Propose and design a fault tolerance control system for satellite tracking to estimate the faults for nonlinear systems under disturbances.

Worked with beacon signals to detect natural disasters and transmitters for continuous transmission in radio frequency communication.

Tools Used: AutoCAD, PSPICE and LABVIEW.
