An
embedded system is
a single-purpose computer built
into a larger system for the purposes of controlling and monitoring the
system [1].
A general purpose
computer (e.g. a personal computer) is defined not to be an embedded
system.
My interest in embedded system is mostly related to the embedded
software, firmware and device driver design and coding. Products I'm
interested in, and have had experience with, include various types of
monitoring and control systems, radio/communication systems,
radar systems. |

In
terms of Field
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), my students and I are focusing on
developing resources and support for the Rhino project. |

Software
Defined Radio (or SDR) is a new approach to developing radio
and radar systems. It involves implementing a large part of the radio
system in software. A SDR approach can significantly reducing
development costs, not only by reusing costs in building hardware, but
also by saving a lot of time when prototyping new products and
experimental systems. SDR is a fast-growing field and increasingly many
new technology building on this method.
My interest in SDR includes the design and development of SDR platforms
and related firmware (e.g., RHINO) and conceptualizing
and experimenting with innovative applications that make use
of this
technology. |
