ACADEMIC PROJECTS

GRADUATE LEVEL

-Design of 32 bit Ripple-carry adder [Cadence ICFB, 0.25d?mCMOS]
The design goal was to minimize the power consumption, delay and area within the given performance constraints.
The 32-bit adder is designed by cascading 32 full adder circuits in series. Each full bit adder
circuit is implemented using Mirror Adder circuit, an improvised version of CMOS full adder
circuit.

-Fingerprint Image Enhancement using Gabor Filters and Wavelet Transform [MATLAB 7.0]
Designed a Fingerprint image enhancement technique using the combination of Gabor Filters and Wavelets.
Demonstrated the technique to be better compared to the image enhancement by Fourier Transform or Wavelet transform.

-Data Compression using Fast Fourier Transform [MATLAB 7.0]
Segmenting the signal into frames and operating on each frame individually by retaining the First n components and Dominant n components and observing SNR.

-Applications using Motorola DSP56800E Processor and FreeScale CodeWarrior [C/Assembly]
Real-Time Image Processing techniques involving Histogram Equalization, Gray Level Transformations and Gray Level Quantization to live video stream.
Fixed point implementation of FIR filters, Echo and real-time audio applications using the DSP56858 CODEC.
Applications of Processor Expert.
All projects were implemented with C, Hybrid and Assembly.

-Applications using TMS320VC5510 Processor and TI Code Composer Studio [C/Assembly]
Musical Notes Synthesis
Designing Music Equalizer using the On-chip Peripherals, CODEC and the General Extension Language (GEL).
FFT implementation and its applications to Real Time Spectrum Analyzer & Pitch Estimation of Voiced Speech.
All projects were implemented with C and Assembly.

-Simulation of Diversity Techniques over Fading Channels [MATLAB 7.0]
Monte Carlo simulations for different diversity combining techniques such as Maximal Ratio Combining, Equal Gain Combining, Selection Combining, and Post Detection combining
schemes were implemented and their performance was analyzed.

-Simulation of Frequency Flat Fading Channels [MATLAB 7.0]
The fading channel with a Doppler power spectrum was simulated using the Jake's Model. For each such channel data was transmitted using uncoded BPSK and QPSK modulated symbols
and Monte-Carlo simulations were performed to estimate the bit error probability (BER) as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

-Simulation of Inter Symbol Interference Effects and Equalization techniques [MATLAB 7.0]
The goal of the project is to study different equalizer structures that can be used for communicating over channels with symbol interference for different noise levels.
Inter-symbol interference (ISI) channels were simulated considering BPSK modulation.
Equalization techniques like Non-adaptive, linear equalization with zero-forcing & MMSE criteria with finite and infinite length, Adaptive linear equalization using LMS algorithm, and
Adaptive decision f eedback equalization were simulated.

-Simulation of Error probabilities & Power Spectral densities of different Modulation Schemes
[MATLAB 7.0]
Error probabilities of Binary Antipodal Signaling, on-off signaling, M-ary PAM, PSK and orthogonal signaling schemes were simulated over an AWGN channel for various SNR's and verified with theoretical results.
Error probabilities of DPSK, non-coherent detection of orthogonal signals, binary FSK were simulated over an additive Gaussian noise and verified.
Power Spectral Densities of Linear modulation schemes were simulated using the Window method for an independent and identically distributed bit stream and partial response signaling.
