Research Experience

  • Behavioural Modelling and Digital Predistortion (DPD) of RF Power Amplifiers: This is an on-going project funded by ISRO Dr. Dhanesh G. Kurup is Principal Investigator (PI), Dr. R. V. Sanjika Devi is Co-PI, Dr. Chinthala Ramesh is Co-PI. It is for a duration of three-year, started from Jan-2020. A few state-of-the-art DPD algorithms were developed by Dr. Sanjika Devi during her Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Danesh G. Kurup. Currently P.G. students are working on the project under my supervision to implement and validate the DPD algorithms on FPGA platform.

Completed and ongoing sub-projects of this research work are:

  • Interfacing of ADC with FPGA is implementedfor converting a continuous time signal to discrete signal (Completed)
  • FPGA implementation of Neural Network based DPD algorithm is completed, verification and a manuscript are under progress based on this work. (On-going)
  • FPGA implementation of Polynomial based DPD algorithm is completed, design verification and a manuscript are under progress based on this work. (On-going)
  • Hardware-Software Co-design of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Architectures: This is an ongoing Ph. D. research work, carried out by Vineetha Jain, under the Guidance of Dr. Dhanesh G. Kurup. This consists development of both software and hardware. Dr. Dhanesh and Vineetha has developed C++ code for developing the software part of the neural network of interest that implements a function, for example a linear function or a non-linear, and I am guidingfurther to realise the hardware implementation of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) on FPGA, so that the processing time can be improved to achieve ANN based real-time applications.  Currently a manuscript is submitted to a journal, and it is under review.
  • Hardware Library for Machine Learning based reconfigurable digital signal processing units:This is an on-going Ph.D. work, carried out by Swaminadhan Rajula, an assistant professor at ECEdepartment, Amrita School of Engineering who is doing currently part-time Ph. D. under my supervision.
  • Data-level and Task-level parallelism-based system performance optimization: Vani Sree is a Ph.D student and currently working on “Data-level and Task-level parallelism-based system performance optimization” under my supervision.
