Objective:In this proposal, the acquisition of ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless sensor network and radar (Environmental) sensing integration equipment is proposed. The new lab equipment will form a UWB radar sensing system including an arbitrary waveform generator, real-time spectrum analyzer, and a digital phosphor oscilloscope. The new equipment will be integrated with the existing UWB sensor network at Tennessee Technological University (TTU). The equipment would provide a core facility for all academic departments and research centers at TTU. Primary users of the instruments, across different colleges, would be Center for Manufacturing Research, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of Manufacturing and Industrial Technology, and Department of Earth Sciences.Intellectual Merit: Some projects are funded by NSF, ONR, or DoE. At this time, the PIs and the participating faculties are either waiting for the acquisition of the proposed facility or using off-campus equipment. The purchase of the dedicated state-of-the-art facilities at TTU would greatly enhance the participating faculties, productivity and ability in conducting the ongoing research and broaden their capacity to attract new projects or make new discoveries.Broad Impacts: TTU is a comprehensive university with a vibrant undergraduate research emphasis while offering a PhD degree program in engineering. It is a regional university serving Tennessee and the Upper Cumberland region. The proposed state-of-the-art equipment will enhance the undergraduate program through new course contents, curriculum, and design projects. It will promote faculty research, strengthen the PhD program, and offer necessary training in modern technology to graduate students.

目的：提出了超宽带（UWB）无线传感器网络与雷达（环境）传感集成设备的采集方案。新的实验室设备将形成一个超宽带雷达传感系统，包括任意波形发生器、实时频谱分析仪和数字荧光粉示波器。新设备将与田纳西理工大学（TTU）现有的超宽带传感器网络集成。该设备将为TTU所有学术部门和研究中心提供核心设施。这些仪器的主要使用者是不同学院的制造研究中心、电气与计算机工程系、制造与工业技术系和地球科学系。知识价值：一些项目由NSF、ONR或DoE资助。目前，pi和参与的院系要么等待收购拟议的设施，要么使用校外设备。在多伦多科技大学购置最先进的专用设施，将大大提高参与研究的院系的生产力和进行研究的能力，并扩大他们吸引新项目或作出新发现的能力。广泛影响：TTU是一所综合性大学，以充满活力的本科研究为重点，同时提供工程博士学位课程。这是一所地区性大学，服务于田纳西州和上坎伯兰地区。提议的最先进的设备将通过新的课程内容，课程和设计项目来增强本科课程。促进教师科研，加强博士培养，为研究生提供必要的现代技术培训。
