Up Homework Exams Projects Lecture

There will be one web-based project which will be performed by groups of 4 students. The project results will be a web page and an in-class presentation by the group. The project will combine research and simulation of a system. The projects will be presented throughout the semester. 

Phase 1: Gathering Information

DUE on March 28: Fully attributed web page(s) that describe the physical layer of these systems. Should include: 

System overview
Frequency range and data rates and other capabilities
How is information sent and encoded?
etc.
Each group will give a brief overview of their web pages to the class starting on March 26. The rest of the class will assess them. 
Your grade will be based on:
