- Team Members: Andrew Wiens
- PhD Supervisor: Sandeep Gogineni
- Faculty Supervisor: Arye Nehorai
- Goal:
- Study the beam patterns of the ultrasonic transducers and verify using experiments.
- Study the monopulse algorithms for source localization.
- Single receiver
- Multiple receivers
- Test the algorithms for passive source localization using one pair of receiver beams.
- Explore different ways to rotate (mechanically) the receiver beams for tracking the target.
- Extend the experiment to active localization.
- Incorporate multiple pairs of receive beams and the fusion center. (If time permits)
- Meetings
- Tuesday 10 AM - 11:30 AM
- Friday 10:30 AM - 12 NOON
