EE616 Electronic System Design / Autumn 2015-2016
Instructions for Project Report Preparation
1. Submission
The hardcopy of the report should be on A4 sheets (single/double sided), simply
stapled on the upper left corner. Minimum margins: 25.4 mm (1") on all sides. Do not use a
separate cover page, binding, or plastic covers. Submit 1 copy. In addition, a soft copy
should be submitted in "PDF" format, by mailing to <pcpandey@ee.iitb.ac..in>, with
filename of
"ee616_a15_XNN.pdf"
with "XNN" being the group number (M01, M02,,. for Monday batch and T01, T02 for
Thursday batch).
2. Font Size
Font size: 11 or 12 for the text. Project title and headings: bold.
3. Information Content
The report should provide the following information:
1) Problem statement.
2) Literature review, leading to the block diagram, ckt, components, etc.
3) Investigations: any investigations carried out by you to develop a part of the design,
verification of ideas, or other investigations.
4) Final block diagram and circuits
5) Test procedure : to show how that the implementation achieves the requirement of the
problem.
6) Test results with plots and tables (appendices, if necessary).
7) Discussion of the results
8) Conclusion and suggestions for further improvement.
9) References.
The report should be organized in appropriate sections. The section headings may be
not be necessarily as above.
4. Organization
The report should start with abstract, of about 10 lines. This should emphasize the
main problem, approach taken, and the final achievement/status. This should be followed
with numbered sections, starting with "1. Introduction". Last section should be conclusion,
which should summarize the achievement and include suggestions for any future work.
All equations should be numbered, by putting equation number within "( )", with right
alignment. Follow the practice of proper mathematical notation in the text as well as in
equations. Each scalar variable should be single character (with subscript if necessary) and in
non-bold italic. Do not use italics for numbers, standard functions, acronyms, labels, and
units. Array variable (vector, matrix) should be in bold non-italic.
Leave a space between the number and the associated unit. Use SI units. If other units
have to be used in accordance with prevailing practice, corresponding SI value should be
given in parentheses.
All figures and tables should be numbered and titled. Figure captions should be below
the figure, while the table caption should be above the table. The text in the figures and tables
should be approximately of the same size as in the text. In any case it must be clearly
readable.
Block diagrams and signal flow diagrams : Sizes of blocks in a block diagram should
be either similar or should be related to the importance of the block, and not adjusted to
enclose the text. Do not mix block diagrams and circuit schematics.
In graphs, the axes should be labeled and units given. The scale and labels should be
appropriately selected.
Reference information must be complete (you can check an IEEE paper for this). In
case of web references, giving URL is not enough. Find the author, organization, and date
(often it is possible to get this information by going backwards in the URL). In case you are
really unable to get the year when the web document was prepared, at least give "Last
accessed on dd.mm.yyyy".
You should use single column format for preparing the report. All the figures and
tables may be given at the end.
5. Format
Follow the following format.
