Syllabus

Hardware Experiments using Agilent signal generator and Vector Signal Analyzer, Myreka kit, mini SDRs/USRPs-GNU radio
1. Study of various filters and their effect on the system, like spectrum shaping: CCDF and PAPR effects and BER effects, inter-symbol interference and eye diagram effects, vector (polar) diagram for Different digital standards from Agilent ESG.

2. Generate the TDMA and CDMA techniques that are used in GSM and CDMA system.

3. Generating and receiving an OFDM signal used for WLAN, WIMAX, LTE
a) Measure SNR of the signal.
b) Measure bandwidth of the signal
c) The measure dynamic range of the signal and PAPR using the time domain window.
d) What is the effect on the transceiver system?
e) Measure CCDF of the signal. Interpret the result of the CCDF?
4. Designing and Test 3GPP W-CDMA Base Transceiver Stations (Including Femtocells)
5. Analysis of the wireless baseband transmitter and receiver using Myreka kit. (Refer Myreka Manual).Study and understand:
