MSc thesis project proposal
Investigation of a Suitable Reed Solomon Decoder for Gigabit Ethernet Reception
Project outside the university
NXP, EindhovenAssignment
Milestones: i) Understand Reed-Solomon encode/decode basics, implement (in C/C++) the traditional RS decoder, compare vs. the matlab function as a reference design; ii) Study the literature and implement some of the promising low complexity algorithms in matlab and benchmark vs. the reference design (i.e. compare BER vs. SNR performance); iii) If possible derive a new algorithm or optimize an existing algorithm for lower implementation complexity, benchmark its performance and estimate implementation complexity.Requirements
For this project, we are looking for a master student in either electrical engineering, applied physics, mathematics, computational science or any related study. Programming skills in Matlab and/or C/C++ and basic knowledge of signal processing and digital communications are highly appreciated. Good spoken and written English is a must. Expected project duration is about 9 months.Contact
