Synopsis: Two important issues in wireless MIMO communication systems namely receiver design for coded MIMO systems and diversity-multiplexing trade off analysis in general fading channels. MIMO antenna architecture has the ability to increase capacity and reliability of a wireless communication system. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is another popular technique in wireless communication which is very efficient for high speed transmission and robustness to frequency selective channels. The integration of the two technologies MIMO-STBC and MIMO-OFDM system, the effect of channel estimation algorithm on performance of MIMO-OFDM system, the mathematical model of the system in frequency selective fading channel has been developed. The comparison analysis in terms of performance efficiency and computational complexity has been made for different narrow band receiver detection algorithm namely Zero Force (ZF), Minimum Mean Square Equalizer (MMSE), Maximum Likelihood (ML) equalizers and, Monte Carlo detectors. The results have shown that the performance efficiency of these receiver technique algorithms is improved for different modulation schemes like BPSK (Binary Phase Shift keying), QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift keying), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and OFDM.

Projects Executed/Guided:

Wireless communication for controlling the devices using Digital Signal Processing

in real time.

Organization: BCS, Bangalore.

Development Tools: Digital Signal Processing Assembly language.

Role: Designing and Coding.

Synopsis: Designing a remote control system that switches ON/OFF a desired device situated at a remote place. The coded number is entered into the transmitter, the transmitter dials the device number, which is transmitted as a DTMF (dual tone multiple frequency) by FM transmitter. The FM receiver picks up the signal and displays the device number and controls the device.

Effective Blood Bank Management Based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) in real time systems.

Organization: PES Instititute of Technology, Bangalore.

Development Tools: JSP.MySQL (Front end), JAVA communications API (Back end) and Apache Tomcat server (Application accessible for web).

Role: Prototype designing, coding and implementation.

Synopsis: The major concern for hospitals and blood centers today is patient safety, minimal wastage of blood products and minimization of blood transfusion errors. The traditional blood-handling process in many hospitals involves a number of manual steps with high probability of human mistakes. To ensure absolute quality of services, more and more hospitals and blood banks now require modern and advanced solutions to provide high levels of accuracy, automation and reliability. A RFID based Blood bank management system that aims at reducing the number of transfusion errors. A prototype of the system using 13.56 MHz HF RFID reader/writer has been developed. This system continuously tracks the inventory status of the blood bank in real time and has cross-point checks at various locations to ensure correct transfusion.
