Defined Radio for the Wright State University High Altitude Balloon Team
Problem Our team chose to design a software defined radio to include on the WSU high altitude balloon. Currently, the balloon is using a hardware-based amateur radio communication system which is not configurable to multiple communication protocols. Any significant modifications to the current system require major hardware upgrades which are costly and time consuming. A software defined radio i...
متن کاملDeployment of a Shape Memory Composite in Near Space: An Interdisciplinary Platform for Undergraduate Student Research
The establishment of the Wright State University (WSU) high altitude balloon program creates an opportunity to conduct experiments in near space environments. Recently developed materials such as shape memory polymer composites are ideal for space applications due to their high specific stiffness (elastic modulus divided by density) and ability to be stowed into a small size for launch in conve...
متن کاملΑ neural network based prediction method for troposheric ducting over the Hellenic region
-The prediction of the tropospheric ducting conditions plays an important role in radio wave propagation. The scope of this work is to predict the tropospheric ducting characteristics over the Hellenic region by means of Artificial Neural Networks using data obtained from radio-balloon observations at Hellenicon Airport. It is proved that the tropospheric ducting manifestation can be predicted ...
متن کاملAssessment of the use of Rural Radio as an Agricultural Information Dissemination Tool among Rural Farmers in Dekina Local Government of Kogi State, Nigeria.
ABSTRACT The study assessed the use of rural radio as agricultural information dissemination tool among farmers in Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State. The specific objectives were to: describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, identify rural and agricultural programmes normally aired on radio, find out the level of patronage of the programmes, identify the convenien...
متن کاملCommercial GPS in the Stratosphere: Cell Phone GPS Receiver Performance on a High Altitude Weather Balloon
The primary objective of this effort was to characterize the GPS performance of a smartphone at high altitudes. Due to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) restrictions in the United States, very little GPS data above 60,000 ft (18.3 km) is openly available. Tethered to a high altitude weather balloon, a Google Nexus S cell phone was taken to high altitudes while logging GPS data. I...
