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
