University Spotlight
A DSP Lab Project Finds
Its Way Into a Product
The department Ørsted•DTU was created in 2000 to
honor H.C. Ørsted, the man who discovered electromagnetism
and who, in 1829, founded the College of Advanced Technology,
now the Technical University of Denmark.
Ørsted•DTU provides students broadly classified
as electrical engineers with a number of digital and applied
signal processing courses. Since 2004 several course curriculums
have included labs based on the TI TMS320C6713 DSP Starter Kit.
TI and Svetoslav Nikolov collaborated to establish a project-based
course in real-time signal processing. The objective of this
course is to bridge the gap between theory and practice as well
as discuss topics such as real-time systems, hardware (microprocessor)
architecture and signal processing. The course has been a huge
success, with more than 60 students taking the class in 2005.
During the 13 week-course students work on projects in teams,
each of which has an adviser. Projects are selected based on
each adviser’s respective area of research. Many projects
expand into master of science (MS) projects. For example, Søren
Pedersen used the starter kit in the course to implement several
algorithms for noise reduction using adaptive beam forming.
That project turned into an MS project that was conducted in
cooperation with the company Nextlink. Søren is now employed
by Nextlink, where his work centers on implementing the algorithm
in the company’s headsets. |
