Chaos Chaos Everywhere!!!


Chaos Chaos Everywhere..This isn't any phrase from any poem.it is something which is related to we engineering final years.The final countdown has begun.Final semester exam dates has been announced.project presentation and demonstration dates has been announced.Various postponed tests are going on.Nothing is going well.A lot of task to be completed in a limited time available.Well confused on what the header is all about. It has to do something with my groups final year project work.Being an electronics student I always was interested in developing some system related to communication field.So when we had to select a project for our sixth semester course,which is just a mini project work,my group of five members decided to develop a system related to communication.Our search finally ended on a paper which discussed about sending data's through lasers.It sounded quite interesting.Sending information using LASER BEAM as a communication channel..Yeppie...sounds cool na...but we made up our mind to take this as a challenge and work on this project..It was really a tough task to completely accomplish this task of sending data's through laser beams.there were many issues which was needed to be resolved.but at the end of the semester we were successfully in developing a tranciever system which was able to transmit text files between two computers at a distance of few kilometers.but due to the time constraint we were not able to configure the system to transmit various kinds of data such as mp3 files,word files pdf files etc..Also we successfully developed a software for our communication system which was actually written in C language.The purpose of this software is to build an interface for making a real time chat possible between two computers using the laser beam as the channel for data transmission.It was all fun chatting through our system.It was like our dream come true.this was the story of my groups mini project work.Main project was yet to come.Main project was required to be completed in a time period of two semesters.Our search for a main project ended when our Project Co-coordinator suggested a communication system using chaotic signal as a carrier.Sounded cool.Chaotic Signal..Hearing it for the first time.
We referred some of the journal on the chaotic signal.it sounded really interesting.So finally we settled on this particular project named "FPGA BASED CHAOTIC COMMUNICATION"..It was really fun during the entire project phase.We enjoyed and learned a lot.We were able to learn FPGA kits available in lab.Generation of chaotic signal was a tough task.We chose to write VHDL codes for generating the chaotic signal.Our project guide and an external guide helped us through to successfully write the codes for the chaotic signal generator system and also the entire transmitter system.But due to the time constraints we were forced to restrict ourself to developing only transmitter section of the communication system.And we were successfully able to develop the transmitter system using Xilinx ISE tool and the simulation was too successful.But due to a lot of semester exams interfering in between the project works we couldn't implement the system on FPGA board.But after final semester exam our group is planning to configure the logic Analyzer available in our VLSI Lab and implement the system on FPGA board.Also our project guide (also the department HOD) has asked us to submit the paper about our project to some national & international paper presentations.
So a part of our group is also working hard to bring this into reality.
