Below is a decision diagram between spectrum sensing and anti-jamming. Spectrum sensing made most sense for our purpose and had the most wide spectrum of opportunity given the different sensing techniques.
Below is a design flow chart for the project plan made by my group member, Josh Hwang:
As I am currently in Senior Design, my design plan is underway so I will summarize below:
We will explore different uses of SDR and develop a new system for spectrum sensing using the NI-USRP 2901 being provided by the AFRL.
This final proposal will be submitted NLT September 30, 2021. Dr. Kevin Lu will be the mentor who will be supervising this project. Students will identify customers along with their requirements and needs.
With a deadline coinciding with the school’s first milestone requirement on November 18, 2021, the participants will have testing plans and a formal project plan. In this time, students will be familiarized with the hardware and software necessary for the project.
Upon returning to school for the Spring semester on January 18, 2022, students will continue their experiments.
By February 10, 2022, an alpha prototype will be available with a design performance and cost review.
March 31, 2022: Capstone 4 which consists of a Beta prototype demonstration. The prototype will build on where the alpha prototype left off as an improvement.
April 14, 2022: Final poster will be finished. An introduction, the problem, experiments, and future recommendations will be included.
April 29, 2022: Innovation Expo event
Final Report submission
