Undergraduate Instrumentation & Laboratory Improvement- Instrumentation Projects: Mixed Analog-Digital Projects in Wireless Communications

本项目的目标是振兴无线通信领域的高级设计项目实验室。大型混合模拟数字项目的设计通过将电路，系统，通信和线性系统理论的概念合并到一个实际项目中，为老年人提供了一个顶峰设计经验。只有运用课堂上所学的理论知识，学生才能真正掌握材料。无线项目，结合了一些数字通信，有助于将电气工程的许多概念联系在一起。该项目的规模很大，需要大约10名学生，目的是模拟工业产品开发周期。该项目被划分为较小的任务，约三名学生的子团队可以设计和构建。在项目过程中，每个子团队都需要向整个团队介绍其电路规格的审查，其设计的审查，最后是实验结果的审查。一旦整个系统被集成，实验结果的书面文件是必需的。这种经验有助于学生学习团队合作和沟通技巧，并在工作中看到工程概念。

The objective of this project is the revitalization of an advanced senior-level design project laboratory in the wireless communications field. The design of a large mixed analog-digital project serves as a capstone design experience for the seniors by merging concepts from circuit, system, communication, and linear system theory into a single practical project. Only through the use of theory learned in lecture can the students truly grasp the material. The wireless project, incorporating some digital communications, helps to tie together many of the concepts of electrical engineering. The large size of the project, requiring about 10 students, is purposely configured to simulate an industrial product development cycle. The project is divided into smaller tasks that subteams of about three students can design and build. During the course of the project, each subteam is required to present to the entire team a review of their circuit specifications, a review of their design, and finally a review of the experimental results. Written documentation of the experimental results once the entire system is integrated is required. This experience helps the students to learn teamwork and communication skills and to see engineering concepts at work.
