Development Of The Digital Signal Processing For The Space Weather Probes Version 2 Sensor Using The Matlab/Simulink Environment, Benjamin J. Lewis Aug 2023

Development Of The Digital Signal Processing For The Space Weather Probes Version 2 Sensor Using The Matlab/Simulink Environment, Benjamin J. Lewis

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Space Weather Probes (SWP) is an instrument that provides measurements of the plasma environment of the ionosphere. SWP was flown on the Scintillation Prediction Observation Task (SPORT) mission, a joint mission between the United States of America and Brazil. This thesis will develop the digital signal processing (DSP) hardware design for the Space Weather Probes version 2 (SWP2). The data from these instruments will be used to determine the density and temperature of the local plasma, as well as the electric field in the local plasma. This thesis presents the design and testing of the DSP designs for all of …


Automotive Collision Warning System Retrofit, Ethan Clark Najmy Jun 2023

Automotive Collision Warning System Retrofit, Ethan Clark Najmy

Electrical Engineering

In the early 2000s, few automakers began implementing forward collision warning systems in their cars. As technology advanced this system became available on more and more luxury cars. In recent years, this technology has spread to more affordable vehicles driven every day. However, as this technology has only recently advanced to less expensive, more economical cars, older vehicles of the same model may not have this advanced and important safety feature. This project investigates and creates a preliminary design for an affordable, easy-to-install, forward collision warning system that can be retrofitted to vehicles without the system currently installed. Using a …
