Programmable Electronics in fiber optics devices

The course content covers an area of the internal structure and principles of operations of digital signal processing units applied to the fiber optic sensors and devices based on them. It consists of 4 lectures, 16 practices и 8 lab works. The course belongs to the general scientific cycle of disciplines. The course presents information about the internal structure and principles of operations of digital signal processing units applied to the fiber optic sensors and devices based on them. In the theoretical section of the course digital signal processing basics are introduced and the FPGA solutions as a DSP processing element are presented. The main emphasis is on practical skills in modeling and implementation of DSP systems in both hardware and software and on applications of DSP to improve device characteristics.

This course leads Deyneka Ivan.
