Prel. scheduled hours: 88
Rec. self-study hours: 152

  Area of Education: Technology

Subject area: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course aim at both developing the students skill in solving complex design problems using a well structured design process that assures that the design goal is reached as well as provide advanced knowledge in both the electronics and application domain.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
TSTE70 Design of Digital Systems or similar.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course consist of a series of lectures, exercises and laboratory work and a large design project. A typical project group consists of 6 to 8 students.

Course contents:
The course will cover all essential steps in the design and implementation of a multi-carrier based communication system. Basic theory for the multicarrier system and current standards for radio LAN is provided as needed. A top-down design-flow will be used, starting from the system specification, partitioning, algorithms, mapping to a software/hardware resource structure, and ending with a working implementation in FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array). The design process is centered on building a sequence of models with increasing level of detail. The modeling, realization, verification of functionality, and implementation of the communication system is based on using high-level tools.
