Completed Projects:

Telecommunication Systems

Our 4-member project group have completed a study on Mobile Internet Protocol. This study provides an overview of Mobile IP and looks at some security considerations as well as alternatives, developments with IPv6 and Mobility considerations.

ASICS 1

The object of the project was to implement a standard cell based design of a pipelined multiplier using the Cadence IC design tool using the Verilog hardware description language. The design was then placed and routed and the parasitics were back extracted to obtain the final speed of the device.

Digital Systems 6

A state machine design implemented on a Xilinx FPGA using VHDL. The state machine takes ID numbers and displays the name of the owner of the ID number.

Active Circuit Design 4

Design and build a two-stage Bipolar transistor amplifier with a gain of 150 with input resistance of no less than 15kΩ and load resistance of 2kΩ and employing feedback. This was also completed for a JFET.

Current Projects:

September 2001

I am currently investigating a “Whisker” using plastic fibre optic technologies, for use on a remote submersible vehicle.

Project report available on request.
