| Aim: The aim of the course is to develop skills to model and design typical mixed-signal processing subsystems as well as evaluate the performance of such systems. Particularly important course items are understanding of system requirements and metrics of performance, system partitioning and design through the use of structured design methodologies. The project work will be persued in an industrially professional way and will develop the participants skills in: problem analysis and structuring, writing project and time plans, working in a group, creativity, oral and written presentation techniques, modelling, design, and evaluation of mixed-signal systems, design methodology, and writing requirement and design specifications. The outcome of the project work will: be an executable simulation model of an advanced mixed-signal procedssing system, be of a high technical quality and be based on up-to-date knowledge and techniques in signal processing systems, be documented in terms of project, time, and technical reports, be presented orally, be followed up in a post-study. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Analog Design (TSTE30) or a corresponding course dealing with basic analog circuits and circuit theory is recommended. Basic knowledge in LIPS or corresponding project management courses is recommended. 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 consists of lectures, computer-aided exercises and a design project. Within the computer-aided exercises, system simulation and practical use of state-of-the-art design tools will be practiced. The project will be managed according to the LISP project management model in groups of 6 participants. One project supervisor guides each project group that also has a limited access to technical expert advisors. Each project group must have a project leader and a documentation responsible. The project work starts from a preliminary requirement specification, given by the customer, and negotiates and completes aproject and time plan before continuation of project. |
|||
| Course contents: Teoretical course contents are: Modeling of mixed analog and digital signal processing systems. Sampling and reconstruction. Analog filtering for sampling and reconstruction, methods for compensating process and temperature variations. A/D och D/A conversion. Sample-and-hold-circuits. Performance metrics, nonlinearities and noise modeling. Digital pre- och postprocessing for increased system performance. The project work contains: design of an executable simulation model of a system containing both analog and digital signal processing. The design is performed using a top-down design methodology and results in a sequence of successively refined models. These models are then the basis for further system design and verification through simulation. |

| The project work will be judged from the fulfilment of the course goals. Tree subtopics that will be judged individually with fail or pass are considered. These are: Written technical documentation, oral presentation, and LIPS-documentation. The latter shall contain a project plan, a time plan, and an evaluation document composed according to the LIPS model. To attain a passing grade for the project, all subgoals must be fulfilled. For a passig grade for the computer-aided exercises a technical report must be written. For a passing grade for the complete course, both the project and the computer-aided exercises must be completed. Grades are given as â?~Failâ?T or â?~Passâ?T. | |||
