Projects:
Space time trellis code implementation (Fall 2013)
- Implemented STTC using 2 state and 4 state BPSK technique for MISO and MIMO
- Simulated STTC encoder and STTC decoder for Rician channel
Performance analysis of MIMO systems with spatial multiplexing (Fall 2012)
- Estimated symbol error rate to improve the performance of spatial multiplexing
- Implemented and simulated using Matlab
Design of Preemptive Real-Time Operating System (Spring 2013)
- Implemented a selectable cooperative or preemptive RTOS with support for semapho res, yielding and system timers
- Designed a hardware and had written an embedded C code for 33FJ128MC802 controller
Rover with IR triangulation-based navigation(Spring 2013)
- Designed RTOS to support a group of self-navigating rovers capable of receiving commands from a base station
