Research kit "For Ultra-Wideband Wireless Sensor Networks"





Research kit


Education and Research Kit provides a comprehensive platform for education, research and development of applications for UWB wireless personal-area communications and sensor networks in unlicensed frequency band 3.1 – 5.0 (4.2 – 4.6) GHz. The kit

Description

The main function of instrument is teaching and research activity in the field of ultrabroadband ultrabroadband communications and wireless networks. The complex offers opportunities for training and research in the following areas:

new media for radio
local wireless communications
ultrabroadband systems
wireless sensor networks
sensors for wireless sensor networks
processing and interpretation of data from the sensors together.

The complex allows to get acquainted with the work ultrabroadband wireless network is based on the ultrabroadband transceivers PPS40A. Transceivers comprising the complex, carrying out the transfer of information on the basis of direct chaos patterns of transmission, through the formation and radiation in the surrounding space ultrabroadband modulated chaotic signal in the frequency range from 3 to 5 GHz. The software, part of the complex, you can create a wireless network topology by configuring different transceivers at one or another mode of operation.

On the basis of this complex is possible to organize the educational process along the lines described above (assistance for training courses or laboratory work, using the set). Together with the set of available supplies and manuals for laboratory work.
