DSPLabs
Structure |
 |
|
DSPLabs have both a physical
and a functional structure. The physical structure organises DSPLabs as two
distinct compartments:
- Lab Compartment,
used for didactic activities, as well as for projects
and applications involving student participation.
- Research
& Development Compartment, used for high-level
research activities and applications, developed by staff
and student members of the laboratory's R&D team.
Functionally, DSPLabs
are structured in two distinct sections as well:
- DALT
Section (Motorola DSP Applications
Lab in Timisoara), developed as result of the
DSPLabs – Motorola collaboration program. DALT
provides all the necessary support for the DSP-related
activities in the lab.
- ACES Section
(Acquisition, Control and Embedded
Systems), involved in didactic and research and
development activities in the fields of data acquisition,
digital control and embedded systems.

Equipment
Overview |
|
|
|
The continuous improvement and upgrade of the equipment in
the laboratory is a constant priority. Currently, DSPLabs
is equipped with the following types of hardware and software
support:
- PC workstations –
12 units
- Laboratory measurement stands, each including
an oscilloscope, a function generator and a dual
stabilized power source – 6 units
- Motorola DSP-based evaluation modules (EVM)
– 6 units
- Intel microcontroller-based evaluation boards
– 2 units
- Data acquisition boards, developed in the DSPLabs
with Burr-Brown, Analog Devices and National Semiconductors
converters – 3 units
- Video cameras and Web cameras – 3 units
- Software development kits (SDK, assembler, debugger,
linker) for the Motorola and Analog Devices digital
signal processors
- Computer Aided Engineering software (OrCAD,
Protel, VHDL packages)
- Digital signal and image processing software
(KHOROS, MATLAB, OPD).

Continuous increase of the number and quality of DSPLabs team
is considered as top priority. The true value of DSPLabs consists
of the quality, the experience and the commitment of its team
members.
Consequently, DSPLabs seeks to expand all its activities
and research projects, acquiring new and valuable partners,
to use at a maximum all the experience and the potential of
its team.
Another priority is the constant development and improvement
of the equipment and technical support in the laboratory.
