TOPIC: Nulling of Signals Returned from Static Walls, Objects for Further Research in Motion Object Tracking Beyond Walls
LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A
ABSTRACT:
This project validates the existing WiVi system used to track objects behind walls by using WiFi 2.4G Hz signals. This allows for an affordable system to provide very expensive capabilities seen in other systems such as government security systems. The project uses the most recent technology. An Ettus X310 radio board is used, which interacts with GNU Radio and an Ettus UHD driver running on the latest Fedora v. 23 Linux operating system. The bulk of this project goes into dealing with static and iterative nulling of reflected signals. Due to the large amount of work that goes into nulling, follow-on work will focus on the tracking of objects behind walls, which involves interpreting the results into angles of tracked objects. The current capabilities discussed in this project are running both stages of nulling and transmission of signals against walls, which is vital in the success of tracking hidden, moving objects.
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.
Advisor: Dr. Honggang Wang
Committee Members: Dr. Liudong Xing, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Dr. Haiping Xu, Computer and Information Science
