Project 2

 

Multi-rate Signal Processing for Software-Driven Radios

Project Description

The goal of the project is to design an intermediate frequency channelized processor for a software radio system that is part of the Groupe Spécial Mobile (GSM) specification. 

Expected Parts for the Project Writeup

Abstract or Executive summary
Summary of what will be found in your report and any interesting conclusions or things that you learned, this should be a "teaser" to convince someone to look at your entire paper. 
Introduction: 
Introduces the topic that you are covering and what issues you
are looking at, what is the purpose of the system you are analyzing? 
Background: 
How does your system work? Why is it done this way? 
Analysis or comparison
is there more than one way to solve the problem? Are
there competing systems out on the market that take different approaches?  how does the system performance compare with different filters etc.
Simulation Results
Simulate the system using matlab, verify that you can pass different sine waves through the system with minimal distortion. Discuss and analyze your results.
Conclusions
References: 
give websites, articles and books that you used in your report
with comments on their content and usefulness
