Statement of Purpose (SOP) for electronics Fresher

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

I would like to introduce myself as R.Ravi Teja. I have completed my Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics & Communication from MALINENI LAKSHMAIAH ENGINEERING COLLEGE an esteemed institution affiliated to JNTU UNIVERSITY. My ambition is to to pursue higher education in electronics by doing my masters in an esteemed university, and thereby make a mark in the field of electronics and communications. My aspiration is to acquire the wisdom from the knowledge and thereby give it back to the scientific community in specific and mankind in general in the long run.

Electronics has always been an orphic subject for me. Electronics in its applications and technology was always an unanswered question for me. As I grew older the questions were answered but at the same time many new questions with more complexity started haunting me. This search for the answers aroused a passion towards Electronics and started exploring the developments and applications in electronics but that did not quench my thirst for knowledge. So I joined in Diploma in Electronics & Communication, and Bachelors in Electronics & Communication Engineering but it can’t fulfill my thirst. Then I could understand only a graduate education can offer me a great deal of intellectual and personal satisfaction and challenge. I look for graduate study to refine my knowledge and skills in my areas of interest. I firmly believe that inquisitive and explorative attitude leads to constant learning process. As an Electronics Engineer,  I believe it will also serve to give direction to my goal of a career as research oriented organization. This is the main reason to plan my masters in electronics and communication.

Ranking in the top 3% of the candidates who attended the prestigious exam held, made my way easier to get into Electronics & Communication Engineering at one of the best ranked university in India, JNTU. The first two years of under graduate education was based on fundamentals of all engineering subjects. The next two years was a detailed study of electronics and communication subjects. Though all the subjects were different in their theories, all the subjects were interlinked in a few aspects. In these four years of under graduate education, I gained indepth understanding of the various techniques involved in

problem solving, mainly to cater to the services of the industries. But all the years of my under graduation was totally based on theories and I didn’t encounter any platform for the

application of those theories. I have always believed that a subject is understood better when one actually sees an abstract theory being realized by a practical system. So I felt Graduation is the area where I can put my ideas into implementation.

During my undergraduate study subjects like Communication systems, Signal processing, VLSI, Control systems, Microprocessors have been my favorite subjects. In particular I like Telecommunication & VLSI, and would like to specialize in that. The electronics and communication has always fascinated me. As years roll by the size of the chip is decreasing and the cost is decreasing effectively. Though the size is decreasing, the sophistication of the function performed by the chip is increasing all the time. This advancement in the technology of the chip industry has inspired me to work in that industry, but as for my MS degree, I would remain open to other topics as well.

I presented few paper presentations at various technical events in national level. Few topics which I gave my paper presentation were 4G communication technology, Moletronics.
During my final undergraduate year, conversations with Professor Jayalakshmi inspired me to explore the multifarious applications in the field of VLSI. I began to follow the recent research and innovations in the field by going through relevant journals, periodicals and websites. And With this basic knowledge I presented few Papers in International conferences on VLSI and published Two journals on Implementation of Low power clocked-pseudo-nmos Flip-Flop for level conversion in Dual supply systems and CMOS Full-Adders for Energy-Efficient Arithmetic Applications. I participated in  E-Robotics workshop, I had learned so much about Robotics and how it’ll work and what is the basic knowledge required. We designed Line follower Robot in that workshop.

.

In my sophomore year, I was introduced to the techniques of solving circuits using transform techniques like the Fourier Transform and the Laplace Transform. Signal transformations and their applications in Electronics and communication were beginning to interest me. In my junior year, I took up courses like Principles of Communications and Digital Signal Processing. My enthusiasm for signal transformations was transformed into a passion for Signal Processing at the end of my junior year. I completed my final year undergraduate project on  “Acoustic Echo cancellation. The purpose of this project is to look into the problem of acoustic echoes that appear in hands-free communication systems i.e to cancel Acoustic echo. Before implementing in real time on DSP kit, we have  simulated  in MAT Lab and found the response for different speech signals. Acoustic echo cancellation is a common occurrence in today’s telecommunication systems. This project report focuses on the use of adaptive filtering techniques to reduce this unwanted echo, thus increasing communication quality. This may appear a deviation from the area in which I wish to specialize, I am aware of the role that signal processing using Matlab plays an important role in field of Electronics.

In my diploma I had done our academic project on GSM based Bank locker security system. The goal of the project is to develop a unique system through mobile technology which can control various units of the houses, industries, and also provides a security system. The various appliances can be utilized by managing them remotely by using GSM technology, which enables the user to remotely control the operations of the appliances. Just by pressing keypad of remote telephone the user can perform ON/OFF operations on the appliances. The project also exhibits low cost home security system which is widely employed in our daily life. This system is designed to prevent the opening of the door by unauthorized persons. The structure of home security system contains a matrix key pad, the door latch opener and a GSM modem for the security dial up interfaced to the microcontroller. The keypad interfaced to the controller is used as the password entry system to open/close the door. As soon as the user enters the correct password, the door lock opens. If the password entered is incorrect, then a security alarm is rung and at the same time it enables the security dial-up through the GSM modem interfaced to the microcontroller. The GSM modem uses the UART interface to the controller. When the unauthorized person gives an invalid password then the controller uses the modem to inform the owner. The modem receives security dial up number and the message from the controller and it uses the GSM network to transmit the message. There is a socket in the modem to insert the sim card to use the GSM network. The destination mobile number and the password are stored in the EEPROM of the controller. I present my application in front of you hoping for positive consideration.

               I am aware of universities in AUSTRIA offer great scope and encouragement for Intellectual & academic development. The process of technical advancement is very fast in AUSTRIA. Hence, AUSTRIA has emerged as one of world leader's in Science & Technology. In order to keep myself updated with latest technical advances I am keen to obtain MS degree in AUSTRIA.
            After consulting my Professors, Friends and seniors studying in AUSTRIA your university has been recommended very highly for its excellent faculty & learning experience. I always believe that essence of university education lies in synergetic relationship between student and his department. I feel that graduate study at your university will be the most logical extensions of my objectives. I am confident that wholesome education that I receive at your university wil  stand me in good stead through out my career.
             I sincerely request you to consider my application for admission into your reputed university. I would be grateful to you if I am accorded the opportunity to pursue my higher studies and given the opportunity, I am sure that i will be able to achieve my goals keeping in touch with the expectations of the university.
           There are two reasons why I believe that graduate study in a reputed department, such as yours, is important for a person aspiring for a research career. Firstly, working for a thesis under the guidance of an expert whose work can serve as a model is the most effective method of transforming a student into a largely independent researcher making significant original contributions. Secondly, the emphasis of graduate study on intensive and independen-t study of a specialized area is an ideal way of making a student capable of reaching the frontiers of knowledge in a subfield quickly and keeping abreast of the latest developments.

Looking forward to be a part of your graduate program.
