RESEARCH & PROJECTS
Watson School of Engineering Binghamton University
America East Men’s Basketball Information Database Sept 2009 – Oct 2009
• Program was to read from files, and store in memory, information about teams in the America East conference, including relevant team and player statistics.
• The user will be able to query this information in various ways, according to a series of menus.
• The program involved using abstract data types in C++ class, organized separation of code into different files overloading operations, friend functions etc.
Cognitive Radio Technology May 2008 - May 2009
• Researched on prominent theories on the practical approaches to cognitive radio.
• Appended the work done by Dr. Xiaohua (Edward) Li by adding the affects of shadowing and path loss to find the maximum transmission power of cognitive radio.
16 bit one-level carry bypass adder Sept. 2008 – Dec. 2008
• Developed whole bit-wise design architecture of the adder from transistor level.
• Determined the different gates (library cells) to be used and transistor level schematics of each gate was prepared.
• Used dynamic Manchester carry chain to bypass the carry.
• Optimal placing of the gates was done so that the length of interconnect can be minimized and the total area can be minimized thereby reducing its manufacturing cost.
• Implemented the layout using Cadence Virtuoso and verified its function using HSPICE .
Soft Acoustic Modem Sept. 2008 – Dec. 2008
• Developed a system level design to transfer data via the sound cards of two computers.
• Implemented the project in MATLAB environment.
• Wired transmission of the signal was accomplished by adding a pilot sequence to the signal before BPSK modulation enabled to inform the receiver the start of the signal.
• Barker sequence was added to the input string to mark the beginning of the signal, which was identified at the receiver end by proper barker decoding.
• Performed proper demodulation scheme, phase and frequency synchronization.
• Implemented Convolution code which was then decoded by Hamming Algorithm.
• Performed proper reception by implementing an energy detector with proper threshold value, phase and frequency synchronization.
ACTIVITIES
