Today's world is full of wired and wireless technology. Almost everybody, including kids, have mobile phones. Mobile phone providers are competing vehemently in the arena of 3G, 3.5G and 3.75G telephony. As competition in the market heats up, they are expected to advance to 4G technology. As systems become more and more complex, early exposure to the underlying techniques and skills, is an absolute MUST for anyone interested in keeping up with contemporary advancements. Thus, in today's world, an engineer interested in high technology state-of-the-art communications technology must possess a multitude of skills. These skills are absolutely necessary, but perhaps not sufficient, in today's industry. These skills include, but are not limited to: 1- Communications System Design (Floating point) a. Matlab programming/simulation b. C programming/simulation 2- Communications System Design (Fixed point) a. Matlab programming/simulation b. C programming/simulation 3- Hardware Implementation a. Register Transfer Level (Verilog simulation/synthesis) b. FPGA Implementation (Xilinx/Altera) c. Prototyping/testing To this end, Varkon Semiconductors is willing to sponsor a limited number of groups, in the hope that, on graduating, the participants will be ready to pursue a career in the design and implementation of advanced communications devices. If you are interested, please apply directly, and as a group to: gradprojects@varkonsemi.com See the last page for the required information.

Traditionally, TV broadcasts worldwide have been analogue. However, recently, an increasing number of countries has begun to adopt digital terrestrial TV (DTT) broadcast and digital cable TV along with the already existing digital satellite TV. The adoption of digital TV is pushed by several factors. The availability of high definition personal recorders and the widespread of DVD players have encouraged consumers to switch to digital home entertainment devices and be more accepting to the switch off to digital TV. The already digital satellite TV has witnessed an overwhelming spread around the world and more particularly in the middle-east. The improved functionality and the increased number of channels sent over the satellite makes the switch off easier. The success of the digital TV experiments in several countries, especially Europe, that is the adoption the DVB standards gives a great motivator to middle east countries to make the switch off. Currently, most countries have set near dates for a hard switch off from analogue TV to digital TV. Egypt is scheduled to make the switch off in 2015.
The scope of the project covers Key building blocks in an LTE transceiver. This includes:
