Electrical and Electronic Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Embedded Clock Synchronisation

This Electrical and Electronic Engineering final year project examines keeping timestamps consistent across low-power sensing nodes, with a bounded circuit, model or measurement procedure and explicitly defined evaluation quantities.

Why choose this project topic?

The project focuses on keeping timestamps consistent across low-power sensing nodes, making the engineering decision visible through measurable behaviour. Comparing clock offset, drift and synchronisation traffic provides material for waveforms, calculations and a reasoned discussion of the trade-offs behind the selected design.

How do the selected circuit, control or measurement choices affect clock offset, drift and synchronisation traffic when keeping timestamps consistent across low-power sensing nodes?

Agree the available approved equipment or simulation platform, operating range and comparison method for keeping timestamps consistent across low-power sensing nodes with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the operating limits, assumptions and reference conditions for keeping timestamps consistent across low-power sensing nodes.
  2. 02Use owned microcontroller boards, compare periodic synchronisation rules and inject communication delays while checking against a common reference.
  3. 03Evaluate clock offset, drift and synchronisation traffic and explain model or measurement uncertainty.

A suggested research approach

Use owned microcontroller boards, compare periodic synchronisation rules and inject communication delays while checking against a common reference. Obtain supervisor approval for equipment and operating limits, and use simulation whenever the physical setup is unavailable or unsafe. Record units, instrument settings and repeated observations before comparing clock offset, drift and synchronisation traffic with a defined reference.

What you will need

  • Owned development boards
  • Reference timer
  • Controlled message-delay harness

Keep your project scope clear

Laboratory timing does not establish suitability for protective relays or precision industrial control.
