The courses listed in the SoI and the rules in the Handbook are primarily meant for post- graduate students of the Institute. Undergraduate students are allowed to credit or audit the courses listed in the SoI with the consent of the instructors. Please note that from this year, we are publishing the Scheme of Instruction (SoI) for the academic year in two parts. This being the first part (Part-A) that corresponds to the August semester courses, and the second one (Part-B) will be published in the beginning of January for the January semester courses. Both parts are being directly generated from the SAP-SLcM system, so that only the active courses for each semester are reflected. For students, who would like to get an idea of the January semester courses before January, they are encouraged to look at the previous years Scheme of Instruction, to get an idea of the courses that are likely to be offered in the January semester. The course listings are in conformance with the Divisional structure of the Institute, with the courses of each department of a Division listed in a separate subsection. For instance, all courses of the Aerospace Engineering department have the prefix AE, and are listed in the Aerospace Engineering subsection within the Mechanical Sciences Division. The only exception to this pattern is the Electrical Sciences Division, where the courses are organized under the sub-sections E0 through E9, according to the areas to which they belong. For instance, all Computer Science and Automation courses of the Electrical Sciences Division have the prefix E0, and are found in the corresponding sub- section, although the instructors come from all four departments of the division. The course codes are given in the Table of Contents. The listing of each course consists of the course number, the title, the number of credits and the semester. The course number indicates both the department and the level of the course. For instance, MA 205 indicates that the course is offered by the Mathematics department and is at the 200 level. Such 200 level courses are either basic or second level graduate courses. The 300 level courses are advanced courses primarily meant for research scholars, but can also be taken by course students who have the appropriate background; these courses can be taken only with the consent of the instructors. Most courses are offered only once a year, either in the August or in the January semester. Very few selected courses are offered in the summer term. The number of credits is given in the form M:N, where M indicates the number of lecture credits and N the number of laboratory credits. Each lecture credit corresponds to one lecture hour per week, while each laboratory credit corresponds to a 3-hour laboratory class. Thus, a course with 2:1 credits indicates that it has 2 lecture hours and one 3-hour laboratory session each week, while a course with 3:0 credits indicates a course with 3 lecture hours and no laboratory session. The Institute offers research-based doctoral programmes and Master’s programmes that are both course- based and research-based. Each course- based Master’s programme consists of core courses, electives and a dissertation project. Details of the requirements can be found under the course listing of the departments or divisions that offer them. Student are assigned faculty advisors who will advise them in selecting and dropping courses, and monitor progress through the academic program. In order to register for a course, each student needs the approval of both the faculty advisor and the course instructor. The number and type of courses taken in the first and subsequent semesters depend on the programme and department the student is registered in – the faculty advisor and the Department Curriculum Committee (DCC) will guide the students on the core and elective courses they should register for. Students are permitted to claim an exemption from core courses on the basis of having taken them earlier. Details of how to claim such an exemption are given in the Student Information Handbook. 4 The Institute follows a grading system, with continuous assessment. The course instructor first aggregates the individual marks of each student from the class tests, assignments and final examination scores. These marks are then mapped to letter grades, and only the grade is announced. The point values of grades are as follows: A+:10, A: 9, B+: 8, B: 7, C:6, D:5, F: 0. The grades A+ through D are passing grades, and F is a failing grade. All the course-based programmes have a specified set of core courses. The doctoral and research-based Master’s programmes may have specific core courses, which depend on the division and department. Students in research programmes have to take a minimum number of credits as part of their Research Training Program (RTP). For PhD students in Science, the RTP consists of a minimum of 12 credits. For PhD students in Engineering who join with a Master’s degree in Engineering, the RTP requirement is a minimum of 12 credits. For PhD students in Engineering who join with a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a Master’s degree in Science, the RTP consists of a minimum of 24 credits. Similar RTP requirements apply for students who upgrade or continue their registration from the Masters programmes of the Institute. For the research-based Master’s degree, the RTP consists of minimum 12 credits. The Integrated PhD programme has 64 credits. Research students have the option of crediting courses beyond the RTP requirement as detailed in the Student Information Handbook. Detailed information with regard to the regulations of the various programmes and the operation of different aspects of Institute activities are given in the Student Information Handbook. Students are urged to read this material carefully, so that they are adequately informed. Raghuraman N. Govardhan Chair, Senate Curriculum Committee 5 Division of Biological Sciences Preface This Division includes the Department of Biochemistry, Centre for Ecological Sciences, Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology, Molecular Biophysics Unit, Department of Molecular Reproduction, Development and Genetics, Centre for Neurosciences, Centre for Infectious Disease Research and the Central Animal Facility.

    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS—II: EXPRESS BRIEFS, VOL. 64, NO. 7, JULY 2017 777 Modeling the Impact of Phase Noise on the Performance of Crystal-Free Radios Osama Khan, Brad Wheeler, Filip Maksimovic, David Burnett, Ali M. Niknejad, and Kris Pister Abstract—We propose a crystal-free radio receiver exploiting a free-running oscillator as a local oscillator (LO) while simulta- neously satisfying the 1% packet error rate (PER) specification of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. This results in significant power savings for wireless communication in millimeter-scale microsys- tems targeting Internet of Things applications. A discrete time simulation method is presented that accurately captures the phase noise (PN) of a free-running oscillator used as an LO in a crystal- free radio receiver. This model is then used to quantify the impact of LO PN on the communication system performance of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard compliant receiver. It is found that the equiv- alent signal-to-noise ratio is limited to ∼8 dB for a 75-µW ring oscillator PN profile and to ∼10 dB for a 240-µW LC oscillator PN profile in an AWGN channel satisfying the standard’s 1% PER specification.

  • Advanced Bridge (Interferometric) Phase and Amplitude Noise Measurements

    Advanced Bridge (Interferometric) Phase and Amplitude Noise Measurements

    Advanced bridge (interferometric) phase and amplitude noise measurements Enrico Rubiola∗ Vincent Giordano† Cite this article as: E. Rubiola, V. Giordano, “Advanced interferometric phase and amplitude noise measurements”, Review of Scientific Instruments vol. 73 no. 6 pp. 2445–2457, June 2002 Abstract The measurement of the close-to-the-carrier noise of two-port radiofre- quency and microwave devices is a relevant issue in time and frequency metrology and in some fields of electronics, physics and optics. While phase noise is the main concern, amplitude noise is often of interest. Presently the highest sensitivity is achieved with the interferometric method, that consists of the amplification and synchronous detection of the noise sidebands after suppressing the carrier by vector subtraction of an equal signal. A substantial progress in understanding the flicker noise mecha- nism of the interferometer results in new schemes that improve by 20–30 dB the sensitivity at low Fourier frequencies. These schemes, based on two or three nested interferometers and vector detection of noise, also feature closed-loop carrier suppression control, simplified calibration, and intrinsically high immunity to mechanical vibrations. The paper provides the complete theory and detailed design criteria, and reports on the implementation of a prototype working at the carrier frequency of 100 MHz. In real-time measurements, a background noise of −175 to −180 dB dBrad2/Hz has been obtained at f = 1 Hz off the carrier; the white noise floor is limited by the thermal energy kB T0 referred to the carrier power P0 and by the noise figure of an amplifier. Exploiting correlation and averaging in similar conditions, the sensitivity exceeds −185 dBrad2/Hz at f = 1 Hz; the white noise floor is limited by thermal uniformity rather than by the absolute temperature.

    Analysis of Oscillator Phase-Noise Effects on Self-Interference Cancellation in Full-Duplex OFDM Radio Transceivers

    Revised manuscript for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications 1 Analysis of Oscillator Phase-Noise Effects on Self-Interference Cancellation in Full-Duplex OFDM Radio Transceivers Ville Syrjälä, Member, IEEE, Mikko Valkama, Member, IEEE, Lauri Anttila, Member, IEEE, Taneli Riihonen, Student Member, IEEE and Dani Korpi Abstract—This paper addresses the analysis of oscillator phase- recently [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Such full-duplex radio noise effects on the self-interference cancellation capability of full- technology has many benefits over the conventional time- duplex direct-conversion radio transceivers. Closed-form solutions division duplexing (TDD) and frequency-division duplexing are derived for the power of the residual self-interference stemming from phase noise in two alternative cases of having either (FDD) based communications. When transmission and independent oscillators or the same oscillator at the transmitter reception happen at the same time and at the same frequency, and receiver chains of the full-duplex transceiver. The results show spectral efficiency is obviously increasing, and can in theory that phase noise has a severe effect on self-interference cancellation even be doubled compared to TDD and FDD, given that the in both of the considered cases, and that by using the common oscillator in upconversion and downconversion results in clearly SI problem can be solved [1]. Furthermore, from wireless lower residual self-interference levels. The results also show that it network perspective, the frequency planning gets simpler, is in general vital to use high quality oscillators in full-duplex since only a single frequency is needed and is shared between transceivers, or have some means for phase noise estimation and uplink and downlink.
