Power Electronics(10EC73)

Preamble:

The importance of power electronics has grown over the years due to several factors. Two of these are the advent of smart power devices and the increasing global concerns about the effects of environmental pollution. Smart power devices are expected to become ubiquitous and revolutionized the way power is handled. Electric vehicle is currently looked upon as a promising solution to curb urban pollution. Also, to avoid the pollution due to setting up of new power generating stations, power electronics has been called upon to ensure better utilisation of existing capacity. This has resulted in research into active p ower factor correction, harmonic compensation etc., assuming great significance.

INFORMATION THEORY AND CODING


Course Objectives 

This subject is devoted to the study of principle of information system which is a part of digital communication system. without basics of information theory and error control coding schemes the study of digital communication will be totally incomplete.
The probability aspects are also included to understand the concept of information theory and error control coding.

This subject provide students the sufficient background for understanding basic information theory and use it to understand more advanced subjects like digital  communication, mobile communication, computer communication etc.
