Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Simulation and Hardware Implementation of Digital Algorithms and Systems
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2005
Module code: E915
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.

Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E915 (P213-0176) Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2005 , semester 9, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
60 class hours (= 45 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 105 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz
Prof. Dr. Albrecht Kunz

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module students will understand the complex algorithms used in communications engineering. Once acquainted with the boundary conditions for hardware/software partitioning, students will be in a position to optimize digital systems. They will be able to estimate the effort and complexity involved in implementing such systems and will be able to select appropriate target technology (digital signal processors, microcontrollers or hardware-based solutions).
Students will have the skills needed to implement the systems using DSPs or FPGAs and they will be familiar with the most common EDA tools.
Students will also be able to use instrumentation to analyse quantitatively the algorithms and to verify their successful implementation.
