Project Objective: Utilized a portable transceiver to detect a rogue transmission in the field. Generated a heatmap of the search area Reduced the next search area and locate the rogue transmission source. Experimental Hardware and Software Setup: NI USRP-2920 SDR X-Star Premium Drone Ettus E312 USRP LabVIEW Communications MATLAB GNU Radio Project Outcomes: Successfully recorded...

Project Objective: Recorded and captured 99.9 MHz FM signal and calculate its location by correlating time difference of arrival and GPS data Experimental Hardware and Software Setup: USRP-2920 SDR TERK Omnidirectional FM Antenna Sparkfun GP-20U7 GPS Antenna w/ Arduino UNO LabVIEW Communications MATLAB Project Outcomes: Successfully implemented a system that records, captures, and calculates the...

Project Objective: Interpreted the data being analyzed from the USRP in order to compare the power spectral density, given a band spectrum of radio frequencies By having the User specify a power threshold, the program will check against this number in order to save information on the frequencies that surpass the threshold. Displayed the relevant...

Project Objective: Designed the transmitter within the search range of the receiving antenna Identified the received signal as a sampled version of the transmitted one Aligned to the measured max power received Achieved the scanning time less than 8 minutes Experimental Hardware and Software Setup: 2x USRP-2901 SDR Arduino Mega 2560 Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout...

Project Objective: Created a system to track an object aerially. Safety and reliability were prioritized over speed, and clarity and usability were emphasized. Experimental Hardware and Software Setup: BerryGPS-IMU USB to UART converter Arduino Uno XBee Breakout Board Double Pole Double Throw Switch Raspberry Pi 3b+ XBee S2C module Software to control the drone using...

Project Objective: Created an autonomous robot that travels to a location via GPS, displays a target, and records if the target is hit Replaced standard static target ranges with a mobile, autonomous robot Experimental Hardware and Software Setup: Arduino Mega and Arduino Uno L298n dual H Bridge Motor Driver Neo 6M GPS Module BNO055 Absolute...

Project Objective: Modified a quadcopter drone so that it is able to autonomously travel to the location of targets on the target range Used computer vision to score the hits on the target in real time Detected hits on the target with an accuracy of at least 70% Experimental Hardware and Software Setup: Autel X-Star...
