Electrical And Computer Engineering
Digital Design Engineer
- One of the projects required development of embedded firmware on a Motorola DSP56803 platform for state-of-the-art smart site-configurable digital and analog modules. It involved implementation of real-time automatic-gain-control and advanced signal-processing routines for the video modules, laser driver and control algorithms for the optical transmitter and photodiode power-monitoring routines for the optical receiver. Finally, site configuration and status monitoring of the entire unit was implemented using an SNMP based management system over CAN bus.
- System-architecture (hardware and software) development for a unique OEM solution for SBC Ameritech was the focus of a second project. It required conversion of two NTSC video signals with associated audio into a single DS3 transmission signal or vice versa. The DSP firmware implementation for the compression/decompression of the video signals (based on a unique wavelet-compression algorithm) and MPEG2 protocol packetization was done on an ADSP-2185 platform with ADSP218X EZ-ICE emulator using both assembly and higher-level language (C). In addition, generation of the asynchronous multiplexing and demultiplexing of the video and audio signals over a DS3 line was implemented on a Xilinx Spartan2 FPGA using VHDL.
- A third project led to the firmware development on Microchip PIC16F876 platform for one of the first industrial MEMS based photonic-switch router (PSR) for pure all optical routing of high-bandwidth network like Internet traffic for LuxCore Networks. The main modules developed for this router were a filter Mux card, Wavelength Converter Card, MEMS switch card and an Optical controller card-all of them using state-of-the-art MEMS based photonic devices.
- Firmware development of a CATV broadband fiber-optic system for transmission up to 110 channels over a single fiber was the focus of a fourth project. The system, developed on a Microchip PIC16F876 platform, enabled remote monitoring of system critical parameters such as total RF input power, optical input power, laser operating temperature, and power supply voltage. A further project need was development of a GUI menu driven management system that allowed a plug-and-play addressing of each unit over a RS-485 based daisy-chained network.
