MSc thesis project proposal
High Speed Adaptive Equalization for Gigabit Ethernet Receiver Design
Project outside the university
NXP, EindhovenAssignment
Milestones: i) Implement conventional hard-decision time-domain DFE-based equalization in matlab as a reference design; ii) Investigate possible algorithmic options below and benchmark the algorithmic performance in matlab vs. the reference design: frequency domain adaptive DFE equalization, soft-decision based DFE equalization, frequency-domain and soft-decision based DFE equalization, or another promising option proposed by the student; iii) Compare all these options with respect to implementation complexity.Requirements
For this project, we are looking for a master student in either electrical engineering, applied physics, mathematics, computational science or any related study. Programming skills in Matlab and/or C/C++ and basic knowledge of signal processing and digital communications are highly appreciated. Good spoken and written English is a must. Expected project duration is about 9 months.Contact
