Projects

Bio-impedance simulator for the testing of impedance sensing instruments Nov 16

>An impedance simulator is developed using resistor arrays, fast switching ICs and a microcontroller.
Simulator generate impedance very similar pattern to the gloater tissue of body. Testing of impedance
sensing devices can be done with the help of this simulator.
Lock in amplifier characteristics analysis in MATLAB and on analog IC Aug 16
> Low amplitude signal can be easily extracted in present of noise with the help of lock in amplifier.
Implementation of FIR low pass filter on STM32F4 Discover Board Jan 17
>Generate the 40 coefficients of FIR low pass filter on MATLAB and write a code for filtering, ADC,
DAC in Keil using HAL library.
Implementation of ETHERCAT(Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) field bus protocol
>Install one module of ETHERCAT in Linux pc which act as master and other module in beagle bone
black board which act as a slave, done a kernel level programming for slave side for sending data with
time stand and master side for receiving that data.
Energy efficient node deployment for target coverage in wireless sensor network Aug 15
> In MATLAB, implement an artificial bee colony algorithm for the node deployment such a way
that energy consumption of node minimum with complete target coverage.
 Load balancing to extend life of wireless sensor network Mar 15
> By making energy consumption rate of all nodes equal, all nodes will die at same time and energy
hole problem of network can be eliminated. In MATLAB and also in NS2 the simulation is done for
the 25 nodes for sensing temperature data.
Development board for 8051 May 12
>Make a development board for Phillips P89v51RD2 microcontroller which consist LCD, Switches
and power circuitry for 8051.
