WaveRacers Competition in Antenna Engineering

Posted on Written by

Here is a summary of the 2018 design project for ECE 4370/1: Antenna Engineering (and Lab).  Students must design microwave energy-harvesting vehicles and antennas capable of self-propelling down a long track.  Costs for the project are provided by the space solar power institute.

Overview

The goal of this project is to make a high-gain, lightweight antenna that allows for microwave (5.8 GHz) energy harvesting and conversion to mechanical energy.  The antenna should have a targeted band of operation of the unlicensed ISM band from 5.725 GHz to 5.850 GHz. Your team should maximize peak gain and minimize weight for this application.

Review Your Differential Equations

Posted on Written by

One of our ECE seniors, Martin Sebastian Ferndandez, has compiled a great lecture series on YouTube for learning/reviewing differential equations.  The series follows topics in MATH 2552 Differential Equations, one of the required engineering courses offered by the GT Math school.  A great resource for students and researchers alike.
