Laboratory

Microprocessor & Microcontroller Lab

Students are given extensive training in 16 bit microprocessors and micro controllers in this laboratory. Individual attention is given to each student by providing each student with a separate micro processor. This gives each student tremendous knowledge to write the coding independently and to master the programming. Stepper Motor operation, Interfacing of various peripherals and the use of PC as a development tool helps the student carry out real time experiments.

Digital Signal Processing Lab

Exhaustive training is given on different signal processing techniques in this laboratory. TMS 320C50 processor is given for training. Lucid demonstrations by experienced faculty members help the students to grasp the subject and conduct the experiment with confidence. The latest trainer kits are provided and students are taught in this lab to generate various signals, study and compare different filters characteristics. Students are provided an opportunity to work with Matlab for better understanding of the concepts involved in digital signal processing.

Linear Integrated Circuits Lab

The experiments cover simple experiments to tough assignments in designing and testing linear integrated circuit circuits. Circuits like differentiator, integrator, low pass, band pass and high pass filter circuits, multivibrators, oscillators, PLL and SMPS are studied extensively both by simulation using L SIM and N SIM and p-SPICE software in the computer system as well as using the hardware.


VLSI Lab


In this lab students learn to program in Verilog and VHDL languages. Students learn to construct and test various basic VLSI circuits starting from adder, multiplier, ALU and, counters, to complicated design problems. They are also taught SPICE simulation to understand various analog and digital circuits and their characteristics. They are taught advanced VLSI design such as synthesis of PNR, Layout of CMOS Inverters, configuration of all blocks, layout generation etc. using Orcad, Xilinx ISE, Cadence software tools and sophisticated equipments including FPGA Spartan Kit and 100 M Hz Oscilloscope.


Electronics Lab


Students learn the basics of electronics in this lab. They are taught how to check electrical and electronic components such as resistors, inductors, capacitors, transformers, diodes, transistors, JFET, UJT, SCT etc and find their characteristics. Amplifiers, Oscillators and their different configurations are constructed by the students and tested. Analog and digital electronic circuits are covered extensively using discrete components as well as Integrated Circuits. P-SPICE, L SIM and N SIM software are used for simulation training. This lab encourages students to construct various interesting and novel electronic circuits.


Communication Systems Lab

Modulation and demodulation techniques are taught in this laboratory, using AM, FM, PPM, PCM, PWM, TDM, DM, ADM, ASK, FSK, PSk and QPSK kits. Students are made to construct circuits by themselves and test their circuits using discrete components, so as to reinforce what they have learnt in theory. Experiments include all modulation techniques of analog, digital and mixed signals and data using MATLAB.


Microwave & Optical Lab

In depth knowledge in Microwave Engineering is provided in this laboratory with the help of Microwave Benches. Experiments conducted include E pain Tee, H Plain Tee, S Matrix calculation, Radiation Pattern of Horn & Parabolic Antenna. Gunn Diode and Reflex Klystron are given for training the students in finding the VI, Mode and Power Characteristics and VSWR Measurements. In the Optical Electronics laboratory Fiber Optic experiments are covered in detail using sophisticated test equipments.
