Hardware Praktikum (HWP)

The HWP includes three mandatory experiments and two mini-projects, of which participants are required to choose one of the mini-projects.

EXP.1: Digital Circuits and Computer Architecture

• Understanding basic logic gates, Boolean algebra, and optimization techniques such as Karnaugh-Veitch diagrams.
• Implementing multiplexers, adders, flip-flops, counters, and finite state machines (Mealy/Moore).
• Exploring key components of a digital computer, including RAM, ALU, and registers.

EXP.2: Signal Transmission

• Understanding light wave transmission, attenuation, and connection interfaces in fiber optics and infrared communication.
• Investigating power characteristics of transmission diodes, spectral sensitivity of infrared receivers, and the photometric distance law.
• Analyzing the effects of interference in wired two-wire transmission and the emission characteristics of infrared transmission modules.

EXP.3: FPGA-based Communication

• Designing and simulating digital circuits using Verilog and FPGA programming tools.
• Understanding high-performance packet handling modules that interface with AXI4-Stream protocol.
• Exploring synthesis, resource utilization, and performance optimization for FPGA-based systems.
