DSP Based Laboratory System for Exploring Communication Engineering Concepts

This title represents that communication engineering has been used in many fields. One problem with communication laboratories is the lack of flexibility. Current laboratories either use specialized equipment with little or no ability to change system parameters or extremely general equipment with limited modulation types and pulse shaping options. This can discourage students from further exploration because of the apparent irrelevance to real world problems. A common solution is to provide a hands-on laboratory to illustrate applications of abstract concepts. One solution to this problem is to use digital signal processing techniques. DSP systems are extremely flexible and provide the ability to implement a wide range of modulation types and pulse shapes. And so here we will implement all the communication engineering concepts on TMS320C6713 by developing the algorithms, compiling them on CCS, and implement it on TMS320C6713. General Terms: Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Code Composer Studio (CCS), DSK6713
