Evaluation board for education of engineers in wireless communications

The aim is to create a complete environment for the design and testing of an instructional set of boards for the HF transmission of digital data in QPSK or OQPSK modulation format. During the 30 hours of the study, the electrical engineering student must simulate with MACHXL/sup TM/, Matlab/sup TM/ and HPADS/sup TM/ the digital and HF parts of the six boards constituting the link. The tests and measurements are done under a graphical environment developed with Delphi/sup TM/ that allows the validation of the critical points encountered during the circuit and system design steps.
