  • 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
