STUDENT
RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES: COMMUNICATIONS
Opportunities
exist for students to perform independent study, conduct undergraduate
research, or work toward a Master's thesis in some
aspect of communications.
At
this time, I can offer no financial support.
Work
may involve
1. modeling (e.g.,
MATLAB, SIMULINK) of communications techniques and systems;
- programming to create models of certain communications systems;
- using these models to assess communications system performance
for various coding and modulations schemes;
2. testbed work
-
programming (C++, Python) modules for "software defined radios"
in order to add capability to the Software Radio Prototyping
Laboratory
(SRPL); see http://www.ece.jhu.edu/~cooper/SRPL;
-
designing radio systems using the GNU Radio platform in the SRPL
and the GNU Radio Companion designed and implemented by Josh Blum;
-
devising radio system experiments for use on the SRPL platform.
The
exact tasks assigned will depend upon your experience, background, and
interest. A formal description of the tasks to
be
performed and the outcomes to be achieved will be prepared for any
student earning academic credit. These are opportunities to learn
something about communications while obtaining valuable research
experience.
