Introduction to Verilog

Verilog is a type of Hardware Description Language (HDL). Verilog is one of the two languages used by education and business to design FPGAs and ASICs.

Continuous Wave Radar

  Assume  The E-field transmitted can be written as below The returned E-field at some time later is Time it took to travel to and from the object(target) is Substituting The received frequency can be calculated by taking time derivative of the quantity in red above and dividing by 2pi   Here,           The blue coloured quantity above is nothing but he Doppler shift frequency. Here the sign essentially indicates the target moving direction If the doppler shift is negative then the target is moving away from the radar and vice versa And thus the velocity can be written as

Simple 2.4GHz dipole antenna program in MATLAB

Below is simple MATLAB code for 2.4GHz dipole antenna. Normally the length of this dipole is λ/2 λ=c/f c is speed of light i.e. 300000000 m/s And f here is 2.4GHz  And we found λ/2 to be 0.0625 We used length here to be 0.0600 since for this length we get good VSWR or we can say reflection is low. Code: d = dipole( 'Width' ,0.000525, 'Length' ,0.060) %This shows the length and width of the dipole %You can calculate the length as per lambda/2 and then optimize according to VSWR/Reflection coefficient you get show(d) freq = linspace(2e9,2.7e9,51); %This is frequency sweep figure; pattern(d,2.4e9) figure; vswr(d,freq,50)   Below are the output figures Radiation Pattern of the antenna is almost Omni-directional and it's like a donut shape. In the figure below, you can see VSWR is below 2 and this is good value

Digital design fundamentals

System Design Technologies There are four design technologies: Fixed-Function IC  Full Custom ASIC Semi Custom ASIC PLD Technology Fixed-Function IC In this type  the IC is designed for a fixed application. We call it as ASIC(Application Specific Integrated Circuit). Here the cost of making a single IC  is very much high. Also time to market is high. Full Custom ASIC A full custom ASIC is one where mostly all the blocks(logic blocks) are customized. A microprocessor is an example of Full custom ASIC. Semi Custom ASIC Here all the logic cells are predesigned and some(possibly all) the mask layers are customized. Using the predesigned cells in the library makes the design easy. PLD Technology Programmable logic devices are special ICs that are available in market in standard configurations. They can be configured to create a part customized to a specific application and hence belong to family of ASICS
