Here are
a few project ideas I am interested in pursuing, either as design projects
(e.g., Senior Design), or research projects. This is a continually evolving
list, so check back from time to time...
|
|
Wireless
|
| OFDM and low bit-rate speech coding for HF communications (e.g., 1-15 kb/s in a 3 kHz audio bandwidth implementable on a PC) |
| OFDM with receiver diversity for 4G and beyond |
| OFDM for UWB |
| Outdoor extensions to 802.11a/g |
|
1 - 2 GHz Minicircuits-based RF transmitter/receiver for wideband wireless research |
| Use of OFDM waveforms for channel sounding (i.e., measuring multipath) |
| Remotely controllable RF attenuator |
| Cellular phone usage recorder |
| Characterizing the performance of a mobile (in the Alexander Calder '19 sense) multipath generator for 802.11 networks |
|
Security
|
|
Secure personal identifier - proving identity without compromising it
|
| Context-dependent identities |
| Leaky personal identifiers - secure personal identifiers that compromise misbehaving users |
| Small, low-cost, zero to low-power tamper detection methods |
| Evaporating data - data that degrades with every access, so personal data couldn't be copied, shared and distributed without the owner's permission. |
|
Cryptography
|
| FPGA implementation of the AES encryption algorithm |
| Techniques for high-speed encryption (OC-48, OC-192 and faster) |
| Techniques for near zero cost (power, complexity, size) encryption |
|
Prototyping
|
|
Modular wireless
"sandbox"
|
| Real-time interface to Pentek DSP platforms |
|
Ethernet data
interface to DSP platforms
|
|
Signal
Processing
|
| FPGA front-end to DSPs |
|
Senior Design Group ideas

| This is the Senior Design web site with a list of ideas prior Senior Design groups have proposed |
Patents and other (perhaps silly) ideas
