This course aims to prepare students for developing their careers in the field of
“Electronics and Communication engineering”. Digital Signal Processing in telecommunication has seen explosive growth during the past two decades, as phenomenal advances both in the research and application have been made. Advances in digital computer technology and software development have been the Motivating factors for this growth.
Motivation
The indicative content covers the following four major areas of Electronics and communication engineering.
- Wireless, Mobile & Optical communications
- VLSI System Design
- Digital signal processing and applications
- Real time embedded systems
The students will gain the Capability to implement wireless & fiber optic applications related to Wireless and Optical communications are two mutually complimentary technologies that are changing the face of communication technologies today. Wireless technology is essentially used in an access network that compliments a fiber optic backbone network. A wireless access network provides mobility and supports acceptable data rates for voice, data and video. The "chip", now commonplace at home and at work is becoming increasingly more sophisticated. Major systems are being integrated into single, complex Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuits. Mixed analog and digital systems are increasing in popularity so that sensors of signals can be integrated with their processors. Engineers operating in this field are in very great demand in the microelectronics and VLSI industry.
This emphasizes to understand and analyze digital signals derived from various real life signals. It gives a broad view of processing the digital signals, imaging techniques and its processing algorithms and image standards. The course also emphasizes the design of DSP based systems using DSP processors. The educational experience enables the students to achieve an integrated understanding of the existing techniques for processing digital image and digital signals.
The Real Time Embedded Systems will give students capability to design and develop embedded systems considering both hardware and software part of the design. On hardware side they will be learning various popular processor architecture and hardware subsystem design. On software side they will be learning modeling of software, use of tools available for developing software. Besides they will also be learning about networking, security aspects of embedded systems, Embedded DSP, realizing the Control system with Embedded Technology and System on Programmable Chip to understand the next generation Embedded systems.
