Signal processing with small BOM
Signal processing applications in RADAR, electronic surveillance, and communications systems are regularly developed and deployed on *field programmable gate arrays* (FPGA).FPGAs are common because of their strong computational performance and flexibility.This performance and flexibility comes at a cost.The cost of commonly used FPGA such as Xilinx's Zynq and Ultrascale SoCs range between several hundreds to several tens of thousands of dollars.Complete systems deployed with these chips range from several thousands to several hundreds of thousands of dollars.Such cost is often …

Affordable underwater acoustic communications
Communication is an enabling technology for underwater systems such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), sensor networks, and diver support equipment. These systems cannot use radio frequency (RF) links, because radio waves are heavily absorbed by water, and poor visibility rules out optical links. Only acoustic communication is suitable. The underwater acoustic channel is bandwidth-limited, slow, and degraded by multipath, Doppler, and noise, making underwater modems a demanding signal processing and embedded systems problem.Commercial underwater modems exist but are expensive and …
