Academic Projects

> A Efficient Framework for Channel coding in high speed links.(M. Tech)

. Scope of the project:

This project explores the benefit of channel coding for high-speed

backplane or chiptochip interconnects, referred to as the high-speed

links. Although both power constrained and bandwidth-limited, the high-

speed links need to support data rates in the Gbps range at low error

probabilities. The resulting framework is used to identify the conditions

under which standard error control codes perform optimally, incur an

impractically large overhead, or provide the optimal performance in the

form of a single parity check code. For the regime where the standard

error control codes are impractical, this thesis introduces low

complexity block codes, termed pattern-eliminating codes (PEC), which

achieve a potentially large performance improvement over channels with

residual ISI. The simulation results show that the simplest PEC can

provide error-rate reductions of several orders of magnitude, even with

rate penalty taken into account. It is also shown that

channel conditioning, such as equalization, can have a large effect on

the code performance and potentially large gains can be derived from

optimizing the equalizer jointly with a pattern-eliminating code.

Although the performance of a pattern-eliminating code is given by a

closed-form expression, the channel memory and the low error rates of

interest render accurate simulation of standard error-correcting codes

impractical

> Compact receiver ESMC project (B. Tech)

. Scope of the project:

. Lightweight - compact - user-friendly, optimized radio monitoring from

0.5 MHz to 3000 MHz.ESMC is a heterodyne receiver with a second IF of

21.4 MHz In spite of the compact design, No compromises have been made in

the operating concept. For reducing the total signal load, the tuners are

each provided with a tracking preselection filter. High-level mixers

ensure high immunity to intermodulation. The low oscillator reradiation

is the result of elaborate filtering. An advanced synthesizer concept

featuring a very low phase noise allows switching times of less than 1

ms. this permits highly efficient scanning and fast status assignment in

slave operation. Compact Receiver ESMC: radio monitoring from 0.5 MHz to

3000 MHz Compact Receiver ESMC
