ABSTRACT
A summary of the project, including a brief description of the problem, the solution, results,
and conclusions is recommended to be included here. Quantify important results and describe
in numerical values. The abstract should be thought of as a brief descriptive summary of the
entire project rather than a lengthy introduction to the project. Do not cite references in the
abstract. Restrict the abstract to one page. It is suggested that the abstract be structured as
follows: Problem: What problem you tackled, and why this needed a solution. Objectives,
Results: What you set out to achieve, and how this addressed the problem. You may add

some of the important quantitative results. Methodology: How you went about solving the
problem Achievements: What you managed to achieve, and how far it meets your objectives.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.1

Background
This should contain the background of the problem, why it is important, where

and when it has began, history etc.

1.2

Relevance
Relevance of the project/topic chosen to the field of Electronics and Communication

Engineering and related subjects based on the curriculum is to be clearly explained here

1.3

Literature Survey
Literature survey should be as exhaustive as possible. Primarily, student should

discuss previous studies, or previous works and current status which specifically pertain to
the problem/topic. Attempt to minimize referring to work which is indirectly related to topic.
Avoid making forced connections and do not try to cram in irrelevant references.

1.4

Motivation
This part of the report must contain a brief mention of the gaps in the literature,

previous studies, or previous work, based on the previous sub-section and a justification for
undertaking your project/problem and why it needs a solution.

1.5

Problem Definition
State the problem what you are going tackle/solve in the project very clearly and

precisely here.

1.6

Scope and Objectives

Scope of the report has to be clearly defined and included in this part.

What

objectives you set out to achieve, and how this is going to address the problem

1.7

Technical Approach
How you are going to solve the problem and what is the technical approach you have

adopted to solve the problem.

1.8

Organization of Report
Contents of each chapter and report organization is to be included briefly.

CHAPTER 2
Title of the Chapter 2
2.1 Introduction
The whole seminar report may be divided into appropriate number of chapters. Every
chapter has to be introduced by linking the previous chapter, it has to be concluded and
linked to the next chapter. It is mandatory that report is divided into chapters each of which
may be structured into sections (1.1, 1.2) and sub-sections (1.2.1, 1.2.2). Do not exceed this
level of sectioning. The sections and sub-sections must carry titles. If possible, try and use
fonts for section titles and sub-section titles as given in this template. Every sub heading,
equation, table, figure has to be indexed correctly and referred in the text at appropriate part
of the text. All the figures, diagrams, flow charts, graphs to be treated as figures and indexed
accordingly uniformly. Mere scanned copies of equations, figures, table etc must be strictly
avoided.

2.2

Sub Heading

2.2.1 Sub-Sub Heading

2.3

Figures
Figures are expected to be drawn using drawing software, imported from other

simulations software in original. They should not be just scan, copy paste from the literature.
Figures have to be indexed and explained clearly as given in the followed.

Further, it is assumed that the signal

is incident on an array of L isotropic elements
shown in Fig. 2.1, from a direction with , being the elevation and azimuth angles
respectively.

2.4

Equations

All the equations must be typed either in MS equation editor or any other compatible
equation editors. Equations scanned, copied are not acceptable. Please refer the following
sample equation and follow the same uniformly throughout the report. All the symbols must
be explained when they appear for the first time. Every equation must be explained clearly.
For instance Eqn. (2.1) indicates that the equation number one in second chapter.

All the graphs should be clearly visible with title, labels of each axis, legends, and
line markers as shown in Fig. 2.2 above. Graphs, results must be clearly interpreted in the
text by explaining the numerical, its significance and inferences as followed. BER
performance of the basic linear array of isotropic elements is carried out for various SNR and
plotted in Fig. 2.2. Here, the algorithmic parameter is set to 0.06 and the initial weight
vector to [0.1+0i 0.1+0i]. MBER solution converged to a lesser BER after 15 iterations that
compared with MMSE solution. At SNR=15, the BER is found to be 10 -7.662 and the weight
vector to be [0.0228+0.0056i 0.0197+0.0127i] by MMSE approach, whereas, by MBER
approach, BER is 10-9.907 and weight vector is [0.4800 0.7456+0.4623i].

CHAPTER 5
Conclusions
This summarizes what have been done and concluded based on the experiments/simulations/
project by now. The conclusions can be summed up as What have you done, achieved and
learnt from the project till toady? Add important achievements with measurable outcomes.
Also explain the applications of the work/project.
