Talk Abstract
The design of a communication system consists of several steps. At the highest level, the system (usually known as RF system) performance is tackled. Here the BER and signal levels, data rate, and channel models with noise and noise figure are considered. The next is a high level system simulation, usually using a high level language such as C or Fortran, or Matlab or a block system simulator. Here, Algorithms for acquisition, tracking, and detection are developed. After high level description, the process of system architecture and implementation is
carried out. This is usually referred to as the Design process. Finally, circuits or prototypes are made and the system is tested.
About the Speaker
Dr Loay Khalaf worked in system and circuit design for several international companies. He worked at NORTEL on digital and fiber loop carriers designing multiprocessor boards. He also worked at Scientific Atlanta (now a part of Cisco) on RF cable receivers (analog and digital) and cable modems. Dr Khalaf worked on Cellular handset design at NEC Wireless before cofounding Telematix, where he designed VLSI modems for the 802.11G CDMA/CCK/OFDM WLAN before joining the University of Jordan. Currently, he is enjoying the design of the 802.15.4 ZIGBEE 2.4 GHz baseband modem.
