Free Space Optical Communication, Anuj Gohil Dec 2019

Free Space Optical Communication, Anuj Gohil

Electrical Engineering

Communication is key to day to day activities for all companies and people. Wireless communication has made us expect more from our tools. Radio Frequency has been the preferred medium for a couple decades, but there is a need for faster secure communication. Free Space Optical Communication is an alternate wireless communication system which uses optics to create a link. It utilizes low-power and converts an analog signal into digital pulses which are transmitted across space to a receiver. Its only caveat is its vulnerability under atmospheric obstacles. The goal of this project is to create a free space optical …

It is estimated that 5.7 million people in the United States have Alzheimer’s dementia, including about 1 in 10 people above the age of 65. Alzheimer’s disease detection can help doctors to diagnose patients earlier and help them with preventative, proactive treatment. In this project, we attempt to use two different methods to analyze MRI brain images for Alzheimer’s disease detection, one with convolutional neural network and deep learning algorithm, and the other one with discrete wavelet transform. Computer simulation results are presented in the report.
