Prof. Khaled Mayyas:
1. Software Radio (Gone): Students will implement a software radio system that supports AM and FM signals reception, and
possibly also demodulates a digitally modulated signal. (2 students)
Prerequisite: Digital Signal Processing knowledge.
2. Subband Coding of Speech Signals: Subband coding of speech or audio signals is as a well-known method that is used in
many audio or speech algorithms to reduce bit rate transmission of signals. Students will implement this system and test it against
the ordinary PCM coding for speech signals. (2 students).
Prerequisite: Digital Signal Processing knowledge.
3. Speech Recognition: Students will build a speech recognition system for a couple of well-known words based on a speech
modeling technique. (2 students).
Prof. M. S. Al Salameh
1.
Radiation hazards of cellular telephones (Gone)
The student will study and understand the nature and effects of the waves radiated by the cellular telephones on the human being
as well as on other electronic equipment. The student will make a design to reduce the adverse effects of this harmful radiation.
2.
Electromagnetic pulse
The student will study and understand the concept, generation, and effects, and protection against the electromagnetic pulse. Then,
he should design structures for protection against the pulse.
3. Noise Filter Design and Implementation: Design and implement of a filter to suppress harmonics on home and office wirings.
Prof. Mansour Abbadi
1. Design of a submarine optical fiber cable (Gone)
Submarine optical fiber cables make the backbone of the international telephone and internet networks. Hundreds of such cables
are laid in all the oceans of the earth in the last twenty years. In this project, the students are required to study the types and
specifications of these cables and then design a specific cable given certain requirements. The performance of the cable is to be
tested using available softwares such as optiwave.
2. Design of a clock recovery circuit for optical receivers (Gone)
Optical receivers operating at Gb/s rates need very precise clock recovery circuits. The students have to study the different types
of clock recovery circuits and then required to design a clock recovery circuit for 10 Gb/s data stream.
3. Gaussian random number generator using central limit theorem
Gaussian random number generators are used in a very wide range of applications and particularly in the simulation of
communication systems. The students have to study the different methods used to generate such Gaussian random generator and
then write a program for the proposed generator based on central limit theorem.
Dr. Majid Khodier
1. Ultra wide band radar system
Project will involve designing, prototyping and constructing of subdevices such as antennas, UWB low noise RF amplifiers, UWB
power amplifiers, pulse forming networks, switches, broadband couplers, ultra fast digitizers etc.
2. Multilayer dielectric filter design and optimization
3. A wideband FM microwave transceiver
4. Calculation of the capacitance and inductance matrices of multiconductor transmission lines (Gone)
Prof. Nihad Dib
Title: Design and analysis of a specific antenna type for wireless communications.
Description: The students (2 students as one group) will pick a specific type of antenna (e.g., Yagi-Uda, Log-periodic, microstrip,
helical, spiral ...) and study it. They will need to learn how to design, analyze, build, and measure the antenna. The project
involves using EM softwares, like HFSS and/or IE3D. It is preferable that the students have studied (or are studying this semester)
EE 407, and EE 528.
Prof. Omar Asfar
1. Generation of ultrasound in metallic plates by using Electromagnetic Acoustic Transducers
2. Design of a magnetic article surveillance system for libraries.
Dr. Rabi Rabady
1) Automatic speed control of windshield wipers
2) Automatic control of screen opening to let a preset illumination inside buildings in day time.
3) Modeling and simulating the dynamic behavior of the pn-junction.
Dr. Mahmoud Ayesh Khodier
1- Recourse allocation in realistic cognitive radios using game theoretic approach.
How to allocate the transmission power among the secondary users using game theoretical approach without affecting the total
performance of the primary user in cognitive radios networks.
2- Fading mitigation in cooperative cognitive radios networks.
How to mitigate the effect of fading (fast/slow) using relay technique at mobile stations and space diversity at base station.

from national power company, analyze the data and calculate the
SAIFI, CAIDI and other reliability indices.
Dr. Jehad Ababneh
1.
Code Excited Linear Predictive Coding (CELPC), (two students)
The code division multiple access (CDMA) cellular system uses a voice coder called Code Excited Linear Predictive
Coding (CELPC). By using this type of voice coder, the coding rate is significantly reduced (in comparison with standard
pulse code modulation coder) which results in lower bandwidth in order to increase the system capacity. In this project,
this type of voice coder (transmitter and receiver) is to be implemented on the TMS320C6713 digital signal processing
kit (DSK).
Prerequisite: DSP Lab. (EE 462)
2.
Regular Pulse Excited Linear Predictive Coding (RPELPC), (two students)
The "Global System for Mobile communications" (GSM) cellular system uses a voice coder called Regular Pulse Excited
Linear Predictive Coding (RPELPC). By using this type of voice coder, the coding rate is significantly reduced (in
comparison with standard pulse code modulation coder) which results in lower bandwidth in order to increase the system
capacity. In this project, this type of voice coder (transmitter and receiver) is to be implemented on the TMS320C6713
digital signal processing kit (DSK).
