Mixed Signal Design
Course No.: L.048.98032
Type: Project group
Credits: 9
Semester: WS & SS
Schedule and Location: 18.10.2024 10:00am / Room: F0.560
Short description
Design and implementation for a sensor system or communication system on PCB basis.
Content
The mixed signal design project focusses on the design and implementation for a sensor system or communication system on PCB basis. The students will work together, as group, to implement the system from the schematic level, over PCB design to a test under laboratory conditions. Finally the system shall be tested under real conditions.
Possible topics include: Photonic radar system and implementation into a boat or aircraft, Implementation of a radio link for urban scenarios, implementation of a lidarsystems on a basis of an automotive headlight.
Tasks
- Fully understand the functionality of the entire system
- Schematic design of a core component
- Characterization of all important performance metrics
- Connection with other subcomponents to build the entire system
- Test under real condition
Organization
The project is divided into 8 segments:
- Microseminar (independend selfstudy into a scientific topic + presentation)
- Circuit design and simulation
- Schematic Review Meeting (Presentation)
- Layouting of the system
- Layout Review Meeting (Presentation)
- Implementation and test under laboratory conditions
- Test under real condition
- Final presentation + report
If enough students apply, the students start with solving their own individual tasks, followed by a combination of all individual designs to create a full system.
Requirements
Participation in one of the following lecture courses is considered mandatory for participation in this project:
- „Schaltungstechnik“ from „Bachelor Electrical Engineering“ program of Paderborn University.
or
- "Circuit and System Design“ from „Electrical Systems Engineering“ or “Computer Engineering” programs of Paderborn University.
and
- At least one additional course from Prof Thiede or Prof Scheytt.
Additionally, a successfully finished microseminar is mandatory (the microseminar is taking place in the beginning of the project after registration in PAUL).
