There are a wide
range of projects available for prospective postgraduates. These range from very
theoretical to very practical, and cover the wide range of areas of
current research of the group.
For example, within
the general area of impulse noise and impulse noise mitigation, possible
projects range from the theoretical analysis of existing and new impulse noise
mitigation to solving the practical problems caused by impulsive noise
interference in digital television in Australia.
In the area of
efficient digital signal processing for OFDM there are many possible projects
which would explore how different receiver functions such as synchronization
algorithms can be efficiently implemented in hardware. Our strong links
with one of the major DSP manufacturers mean that these projects have the
potential to combine the theoretical strengths of the Monash based researchers
with the practical experience of industry.
Polynomial
Cancellation coded (PCC) OFDM is a new modulation technique which has been
developed by the group. It is much less sensitive to frequency offset and
phase noise than standard OFDM. There are a wide range of projects
available on PCC-OFDM ranging from theoretical analysis of aspects of PCC-OFDM
and comparison with other new modulation schemes, to aspects of the practical
implementation of these schemes.
Enquiries are
welcome from well qualified applicants who are interested in joining the group
as research students. Please contact
