Description:
The idea of these projects is to introduce the USRP-LabVIEW environment to the students. Under this page you can find information about the USRP projects for following courses: - ELT-43006 Digital Transmission: Small USRP project can be taken as the mandatory project work (alternative to the traditional Matlab project). - ELT-44506 Project Seminar on Digital Communication Circuits and Systems: The course can be completed as a Big USRP project. - ELT-49206 Doctoral Assignment in Wireless Communications: The course can be completed as a Big USRP project, which is combined with a literature study on a research-oriented topic (e.g., implementing and testing selected algorithms found in the literature study in real time with actual signals). Both types of projects start with - Lecture 1 about the LabVIEW system design environment on Friday 14.3.2014 at 8:15-10 - Lecture 2 about USRP development environment on Thursday 20.3. at 16:00-18 - 2-3 USRP hands-on training sessions: Basic exercises, FM radio receiver exercise, Packet radio transmission exercise. This should be done in groups of 2 students. There will be 3 alternative weekly times (Tue 16-18, Thu 9-11, Thu 16-18; Tue morning sessions cancelled due to low interest) for these exercises. Signing-up to the exercises is done through the POP system (open now), separately for each session. Lectures and exercises take place in the PC classroom SM201. STARTING FROM THU 24.4., ALL EXERCISES ARE MOVED TO TC419. Deadline for submission of exercise, homework and the documentation package along with working Vi's is 5.05.2014.

Assessment scale:
Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
Additional information of course implementation:
Small project includes some tasks to modify/enhance the packet radio transmission system (or other small tasks to be completed in the USRP development environment) and writing a compact report about the exercise. Big projects continue after the basic hands-on training sessions with development and testing of specific communication/signal processing modules. The tasks are tailored for interests of the students. The project learnings and results need to be reported adequately, and the literature study part needs to be included for the Doctoral Assignment. A big project is typically worth 4 cr, but depending on the demand level, it could be up to 8 cr.
