This undergraduate technical report was one of the first attempts to measure and characterize TWDP fading. Sophisticated work for just a summer undergraduate project, Xan (now physicist Dr. Henderson) managed to measure and characterize some complicated signal strength distributions in the back RF lab of the Prop Group.

This report documents the behavior of diffraction across a roughened knife-edge. The work is beautiful and sophisticated, especially considering it was accomplished as undergraduate research. The work contains electromagnetic source codes in Matlab that compute how a field solution degrades as the diffracting surface becomes rougher and rougher.

Rather than present the standard fare, let’s shake things up a bit and switch frequency bands. We will discuss propagation in the optical frequency bands by outlining an experiment that you can do in the comforts of your own home or office. The goal: to understand the concept of shape factors and why they are important in multipath radio (and even optical) wave propagation. [Read more…]

This collaboration with the Ghovanloo group studies small antennas placed within the mouth. These antennas connect to sensors and allow short-range communication with radios outside the body. These sensors retrieve information such as tongue position, which can be used to pilot a motorized wheelchair. Congratulations, Fanpeng and company!
