== SDR & Spectrum using a Drone == [[TOC(Other/Summer/2016*, depth=4)]] {{{ #!html
}}} === Mission === We are manipulating a drone to fly around and collect spectrum from the ORBIT nodes. The spectrum will be collected and analyzed. === Background === ==== Software Defined Radio (SDR) ==== Software Defined Radio is a communication system in which elements that are normally integrated in hardware, are instead set up in software, and can be accessed through a personal computer or embedded system. SDR is much cheaper and more customizable in comparison to its hardware counterparts. ==== Spectrum Analysis ==== Spectrum Analysis is the analysis in terms of spectrum of frequencies. Spectrum is measured in the frequency domain using a signal analyzer. Complex signal are broken down into frequency components, making it easier to measure signal properties. === The Team === (Name/Picture Placeholder)
