Semester Project Thesis: "Comparison of blind channel estimation algorithms in DS-CDMA Systems"
Outline: Due to the increasing use of  DS-CDMA  in various applications (e.g. 3G mobile communications), there is recently a strong interest in Multiuser Channel Estimation. Methods which do not need  a-priori knowledge are known as "blind". One significant part of this area are algorithms who exploit the mathematical properties of the signal. This algorithms are known as subspace decomposition methods. In this work I have implemented and tested extensively two of the most famous of these methods.
Carried out at the University of Perugia.

Diploma Thesis: "Simulation of a Space-Time Satellite System"
Outline: In order to increase the bandwidth efficiency in satellite communication systems  a novel system which takes advantage of Iterative Interference Cancellation and Turbo Decoding, has been developed. In this project I have implemented  and tested this system with the design tool "COSSAP" of the software house Synopsys. The theoretical background is presented shortly, while the system and its implementation in detail. Also a chapter about a possible application of an outer blockcode is included.
Carried out at the Fraunhofer IIS and  the Chair of Information Transmission of the University of Erlangen.
