E N D
Objectives • Design and build a wireless intercom for pro a/v applications. • Employ digital technology for high quality communications. • Implement a call feature to allow the user to signal individual users or groups. • Utilize a wireless base station and headset for each user.
Approach • Three teams to design and build separate components of each unit. • Utilize off the shelf components for functions such as encoding/decoding. • Employ a microprocessor for channel tuning and call tasks. • Implement separate transceivers for base station to base station, headset to base station, and call communications.
Base Station Communication Micah Wu Daniel Anderson Nathaniel Anderson
Team Tasks • Design and build a device that can effectively transmit digital audio and data over a distance of 500 ft. • Implement CVSSD/ADM encoder/decoder to increase transmission quality and reduce bandwidth requirements. • Construct two 2.4 GHz transceivers. • 10 Channel digital audio transceiver • Fixed frequency call data transceiver • Design a non directional antenna that maximizes transmission distance. • Interface with other components.
