Wireless Information Networks Laboratory

可用于无线信息网络的技术目前正在快速发展。在许多应用中包括室内无线局域网(LAN)以提供计算机终端和工作站的便携性和移动性，数字蜂窝移动无线电话网络以增加当前窄带模拟FM蜂窝系统的信道容量，以及个人通信网络(PCN)，其中个人用户操作袖珍大小的收发机，能够使用全移动服务拨打电话，无论他们在家里、办公室还是在街上。该奖项将帮助资助一个新的高级电气工程实验室，支持无线信息系统的研究。将讨论的主题包括伪噪声码、直接序列扩频、跳频信号、捕获和跟踪、码分多址无线计算机通信、超高频信道传播特性(包括多径时间延迟分布和衰减测量)、误码率测量和锁相环。除了每周正式的实验室实验外，所有学生还将被要求做一个与无线信息网络相关的设计项目，做口头报告，并提交书面报告。

Technology that can be used for wireless information networks is currently undergoing rapid development. Among the many applications include indoor wireless local area networks (LAN) to provide for the portability and mobility of computer terminals and workstations, digital cellular mobile radio telephone networks to increase channel capacity over current narrowband analog FM cellular systems, and personal communication networks (PCN) where individual users operate pocket sized transceivers capable of making telephone calls using a fully mobile service whether they are at home, in the office, or on the street.This award will assist in funding a new senior level electrical engineering laboratory supporting studies of wireless information systems. Topics to be addressed include pseudo-noise codes, direct sequence spread spectrum, frequency hopped signals, acquisition and tracking, CDMA wireless computer communications, UHF channel propagation characteristics including multipath time delay profiles and attenuation measurements, bit error rate measurements, and phase-locked loops. In addition to formal weekly lab experiments, all students will be required to do a design project relating to wireless information networks, make oral presentations, and submit written reports.
