A digital communication project using OFDM and 32-QAM

Image
This past semester (my last one during my undergrad years!), I was enrolled in ECE4670 -- Intro to Digital Communication with Professor Aaron Wagner. The final project required constructing the encoder and decoder (in Matlab) to send data over an existing channel (Cornell’s commcloud server). The project was done in groups of 2 and I had worked with my friend Balazs Szegletes. It was a fun learning experience, and I wanted to share the details of the project here! The communication channel is effectively a DAC that outputs the results of the encoder, X, a low-pass filter, and then an ADC that samples this and sends data, Y, to the decoder. The means for sending data to the channel involves writing the data to a wav file, which is then passed as an input parameter to a program called ccplay that is provided for the class. The program handles the DAC and ADC and saves the sampled output as another wav file. The goal is to be able to push data through the channel as quick as possible with...

PIC32 JTAG Loader / ICSP programmer

This past semester, I worked on an independent study/project where I explored the programming of the PIC32. I've provided the details in the following PDF document. The key takeaway I believe is: "This document presents sufficient background information on the project, and implementation specific details. The most important contribution this makes is adding the experiences and a full implementation of the project. For even more detail and a thorough understanding, it is recommended that this report be read along with the reference documents mentioned in Section 4.1." I plan on improving this, as well as exploring the option of programming other PICs this summer. A cursory look made me think that the PIC32 programming standard was more complicated than the PIC16's. I'll find out! All the project code and settings can be found here . This includes the PIC32 project, as well as the MATLAB code for the programmer software https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4SoPFPRNziH...

What is Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)

Image
Welcome guys! If you are searching for the basics of Electronics and Communication (ECE) Engineering then you are at the right place. Most of the student in Electronics and Communication engineering (ECE) branch are least bothered about what it is.! and they simply join because there Mom or Dad insisted them to do so.!!!! Ask yourself "What is ECE branch all about."? Is it about only the resistors, transistors or the basic communications.?? or Is it the branch of your Parents choice and where there are too many job opportunities.?? Think on it before joining any engineering branch. The answer is YES for the first questions, it basically deals with resistors, capacitors , transistors ,and other such electronic devices. But the most common devices that you all must know are the above mentioned devices. If you are well aware of the basics of these devices then you can do anything in ECE and can make any circuits easily. You must understand these devices first to start your caree...
