TECHNICAL PROJECTS

Ring Oscillator Design: Designed a 3-stage ring oscillator with realistic rise and fall time using

Verilog with Icarus Verilog simulator.

PLL Design with SPICE: Use of the macro-models built in TopSPICE for phase detector, low pass

filter and VCO, to build, test, simulate a PLL.

Phase Sensitive Detection: Phase detector application for PLL and modern Radar Systems to

obtain optimal SNR.

Pulse Compression: Decouple wave energy and resolution for achieving high bandwidth while

keeping the same pulse length as defined by the user with the use of Matlab.

Filter Design: Using Matlab, design minimum length FIR and IIR filters to meet user specifications.

Density Estimation: Sample probability density function based on N measurements to find

corresponding sample cumulative density function using Matlab.
