ECE 510 - RFIC Design
Taught by Richard Campbell, PSU
Monday/Wednesday 5:00-6:50 p.m.
The class is a hands-on exploration of Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit design, using actual devices and circuits fabricated in TriQuint's TQPED 130 nm pHEMT process. Student projects will include design, critical design review, fabrication, and measurement of actual GaAs devices and ICs.
Prerequisites
ECE 531 and ECE 532

ECE 510 - System Design with Programmable Logic
Taught by Roy Kravitz & Shiv Prakash
Thursdays 5:30-9:10 p.m.
Programmable logic devices such as field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are a major part of digital design. Advances in semiconductor technology have made it possible to implement a complex, high performance system on a single programmable chip. This course discusses tools and techniques for designing, verifying and implementing System-on-Chip (SoC) designs using programmable logic. The course has a both an academic and project orientation: Students take several projects from concept through synthesis and debug on an FPGA development board while exploring the techniques used to optimize the design to meet high speed timing requirements. Mentor Graphics and Xilinx design automation software tools are used. Students must be familiar with Verilog HDL or willing to adjust from VHDL. Knowledge of Assembly language programming would be helpful.

ECE 588/688 - Advanced Computer Architecture II
Taught by Alaa Alameldeen, Intel
Monday/Wednesdays 7:00-8:50 p.m.
Discussion of parallel computer architectures and their uses. Key topics include MIMD architectures; associative processing; shared-memory and message-passing architectures; dataflow and reduction architectures; special-purpose processors; design and analysis of interconnection networks; and an overview of parallel software issues. Students will complete the project started in ECE 587/687.

ECE 510 - Embedded System Design & Programming with Programmable Logic
Taught by Roy Kravitz
Tuesdays 5:30-9:10 p.m.
Microprocessor-based embedded systems are everywhere. The typical American household uses about 50 microprocessors, not counting personal computers, with the number rising every year. This course builds on the solid hardware-centric base for system-on-chip design gained in ECE 510 – System Design with Programmable Logic by teaching embedded system design and programming. The course has both an academic and project orientation; students take several embedded system projects from concept through debug on an FPGA development board while learning how to design and implement integrated hardware/software applications that interact with “real world” devices. Xilinx synthesis and embedded system software tools and the GNU tool chain are used. Programming is done in C.
Prerequisites
ECE 510 – System Design with Programmable Logic or consent of instructor. You should be comfortable programming in C and/or C++ and using Verilog or VHDL for synthesis.

ECE 510 - Wireless Communications
Taught by Fu Li, PSU
Monday/Wednesdays 5:00-6:50 p.m.
The course provides an overview of the latest developments and trends in wireless mobile communications, and addresses the impact of wireless transmission and user mobility on the design and management of wireless mobile systems. The coverage of the mobile communication foundementls includes, but not limited to, VHF and UHF communication in land-mobile communication. Channel characterization; fast and slow fading, frequency selectivity, delay and spread coherence bandwidth. Signal loss probability. Interference environments and its control. Frequency control. Diversity techniques for digital land mobile radio. Spatial distribution of offered traffic. Efficient spectral utilization. Capacity calculations and networking.
