Directional Patch Antenna Array Design For Desktop Wireless Internet, Noah Snyder
Directional Patch Antenna Array Design For Desktop Wireless Internet, Noah Snyder
Electrical Engineering
To improve desktop wireless internet access, two patch antenna configurations were investigated in order to find an alternative for a dipole antenna, which is commonly used for Wi-Fi access. A Linksys WMP54G pci-card wireless adapter was used to test three antennas for 802.11g communications. The standard WMP54G dipole antenna and two patch antenna configurations were tested for Wi-Fi signal strength. The antennas were also tested in Cal Poly’s anechoic chamber to obtain resonant frequency and gain measurements. A 2.437 GHz center frequency, 72 MHz bandwidth antenna consisting of a single microstrip patch was constructed. After the patch antenna was determined …
Circular Polarized Splatch Antenna, Cynthia Truong
Circular Polarized Splatch Antenna, Cynthia Truong
Electrical Engineering
The Splatch Antenna combines excellent performance and cost-effectiveness into an antenna package that can be integrated. The goal of this project is to figure out how to connect two Splatch antennas to realize a Circular Polarized (CP) antenna. The advantage of CP versus linear polarization is that CP eliminates polarization mismatch losses caused by Faraday’s rotation.
Ofdm Simulation In Matlab, Paul Guanming Lin
Ofdm Simulation In Matlab, Paul Guanming Lin
Electrical Engineering
The objective of this project is to demonstrate the concept and feasibility of an OFDM system, and investigate how its performance is changed by varying some of its major parameters. This objective is met by developing a MATLAB program to simulate a basic OFDM system. From the process of this development, the mechanism of an OFDM system can be studied; and with a completed MATLAB program, the characteristics of an OFDM system can be explored.

Fm Radio Receiver With Digital Demodulation, Nicholas Burnett
Fm Radio Receiver With Digital Demodulation, Nicholas Burnett
Electrical Engineering
This paper reports on the design, construction, and testing of an FM receiver. The design is split into two portions, the analog FM front end and the digital demodulator. The job of the front end is to down convert the RF signal to a frequency that is low enough to sample with an analog to digital converter. The construction of the front end is done using what is known as “Ugly Construction.” That is, all the components are soldered together floating over a ground plane.
The second portion of the design is the demodulator. The phase lock loop method of …
Touch Screen Sound Controller, James Fenley, Jonathan Law
Touch Screen Sound Controller, James Fenley, Jonathan Law
Electrical Engineering
The Touch Screen Sound Controller sets out to explore the use of a touch screen as a sound control interface for the disk jockey profession. In addition, the project aims to provide an alternate means of transferring audio data by way of TCP/IP communications as opposed to MIDI. By applying our method, a user may stream pulse-code modulated data from a server onto a client’s RAM via an Ethernet connection. A 32bit, 200MHz ARM9 microprocessor addresses data from the RAM and proceeds with executing DSP instructions from the user. The connection between the touch screen and the central microprocessor is …
Sign Language Glove, Nicholas Born
Sign Language Glove, Nicholas Born
Electrical Engineering
Between 500,000 and 2 million Americans use American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary language. As such, a device capable of translating those movements into text would be useful in many areas, such as teaching and the entertainment industry.
The goal of this project was to show that the creation of a glove device that takes in sign language letters, interprets them into the desired characters, and can input those characters into a computer is feasible. I chose to work on this project for many different reasons. One reason is many members of my family know sign language and use …
Xins, Kyle Howen
Xins, Kyle Howen
Electrical Engineering
The XINS seeks to provide a navigation system that is sufficient for remote control or automation of a small UAV. This will be accomplished with a general knowledge in electrical engineering concepts and with equipment available to hobbyists.
This paper covers the theory of design and the first steps to prototyping an aircraft navigation system. Though no testing on actual aircraft was available, simulations and ground tests (in an automobile) were performed. All testing supported the intended function of the XINS.
Given some size and power supply modification, the presented XINS prototype should be able to provide all required data …
