The James Webb Space Telescope
For years, the Hubble Space Telescope has been providing breathtaking images and collecting information on cosmic events. On December 18th, the James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled to be launched into orbit to join the Hubble in revealing the mysteries of the universe. This new telescope will be able to capture images from greater distances and may allow observations into the formations of the oldest stars and galaxies ever created.

Unlike the Hubble Telescope, the James Webb Telescope will be optimized for near infrared light. This will allow the telescope to see through pillars of dust to see stars that were previously hidden. The telescope will also observe closer objects to explore our solar system in greater detail than ever before. The telescope will also be able to study the atmosphere of exoplanets. This will allow scientists to look for similarities to Earth in order to see if these planets may be suitable for life.

The Co-Processor Architecture: An Embedded System Architecture for Rapid Prototyping
Although well known for its digital processing performance and throughput, the co-processor architecture provides the embedded systems designer opportunities to implement project management strategies, which improve both development costs and time to market. This paper, focused specifically upon the combination of a discrete microcontroller (MCU) and a discrete field-programmable gate array (FPGA), showcases how this architecture lends itself to an efficient and iterative design process. Leveraging researched sources, empirical findings, and case studies, the benefits of this architecture are explored and exemplary applications are provided. Upon this paper’s conclusion, the embedded systems designer will have a better understanding of when and how to implement this versatile hardware architecture.

AI-Aided Design for Next Generation of Wireless Communication Systems

AI-Aided Design for Next Generation of Wireless Communication Systems Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) motivates wireless communication engineers to deploy machine and deep learning (DL) tools in different layers of communication protocol stacks. Among others, there has been a surge of interest in the applications of AI in the physical (PHY) layer of wireless communication systems. The basic idea behind the application of AI in PHY layer design is to improve the end-to-end performance, e.g., increasing data throughput, improving energy efficiency, reducing error rate, etc. and to alleviate the real-time computational complexity over conventional design approaches. In general, the conventional design of transmitter and receiver is block based, where each block can perform its task optimally and often efficiently.
