PROJECTS Modelling Non Functional Concerns Into Non Functional Requirements (NFRs) Semester IV Project Jan2013-April2013

This project was about studying the quality concerns in system development like security, performance etc. and modelling these quality concerns into NFRs. This project aims at analysing better methods to deal with NFRs so that they can be incorporated in system development as easily as Functional Requirements (FRs).

Development of Optimization Algorithm for envelope load-pull (ELP) calibration process Summer 2013 Project May2013-June2013

This project involved development of algorithm to optimize error in calibration process of envelope load-pull (ELP) system. Explored various methods for choosing a desired set of calibration point which provide full Smith-Chart coverage,

minimizes error and reduces no of calibration points for finding systematic error in envelope load-pull (ELP). Gained understanding of Smith-chart, transmission line, load-pull system and error flow graphs. Exposure-Matlab, IGOR-PRO.
