PROJECTS

A Wireless Embedded Navigation System for Visually Impaired using ZigBee and RFID Technology Spring 2011

• IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee based transceiver and RFID tags were used to incorporate this wireless network solution

• Implemented on ARM7 TDMI-S Processor LPC2129 and programmed in Embedded C using KEIL, LPC Flash Utility as IDE

Frequency Domain Adaptive Noise Cancellation (Guide: Dr.Andreas Spanias) Fall 2013

• Simulated in MATLAB, a frequency domain adaptive FIR filter using FFT to minimize additive noise in a corrupted signal

• LMS algorithm utilized for the recursive adaptation of the frequency coefficients with significant improvements in SNR

Symbol Error Probability of PSK and QAM ( Guide: Dr.Cihan Tepedelenlioglu) Spring 2013

• Simulated in MATLAB to calculate symbol error probability of 32 -PSK and 32-QAM

• Main objective was to infer the performance of the two modulations with respect to upper and lower bounds versus SNR

Hard and Soft Decision Decoding of Linear Block Codes ( Guide: Dr.Cihan Tepedelenlioglu) Spring 2013

• Evaluated using MATLAB, the performance of (8,4) Extended Hamming code using Antipodal modulation using Hard Decision and

Soft Decision Decoding in terms of codeword error rate and SNR in an AWGN environment

Fall 2014

Adaptive Hybrid, correlation approach for improved test quality using Neural Networks (Guide: Dr. Sule Ozev)

• Optimized the test selection process by adapting test ordering and elimination, Neural Network model and guard banding

• Developed in MATLAB and achieved reduced per device test time with minimum DPPM and Yield Loss

Diversity Techniques over fading channels (Guide: Dr.Cihan Tepedelenlioglu) Fall 2014

• MATLAB simulation of receiver antenna performances of diversity techniques such as MRC,EGC,SC, SSC, and PDC using

Analytical methods and Monte Carlo simulations and comparisons of the techniques

ISI Channels (Guide: Dr.Cihan Tepedelenlioglu) Fall 2014

• Simulated in MATLAB the performance of a linear MMSE (Minimum Mean Squared error) equalizer using Monte Carlo

simulations over different ISI quality fixed channels (good & bad) and different equalizer lengths

Applications Using the DSP56858EVM CODEC Spring 2015

• Implemented in fixed point using C and assembly languages, Echo and Finite Impulse Response (FIR) digital filters

Musical Notes Synthesis Spring 2015

• Sine wave generation at various frequencies through the synthesis of various musical notes on TMSC320C5510 using C and ASM

RESEARCH PAPER: MAC Protocols for Cognitive Radio Networks Guide: Prof.Yanchao Zhang

• Conventional MAC protocols were compared with existing heterogeneous Cognitive Radio -MAC protocols for dynamic spectrum

access along with their latest trends and future challenges.

PERSONAL PROJECTS: Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)

Simulated the performance of CDMA Uplink scenario for multi users over different fading and frequency selective channel order

lengths by taking into account the power control.
