  8. Limited Bandwidth Communication - HOQ • Acoustic House of Quality Rochester Institute of Technology

  9. Limited Bandwidth Communication – Potential Concepts • Dr. Kwasinski • He is very interested in guiding all communication teams but doesn’t have any current research in this area. His background is in laser communication and signal processing. • One of these projects will be run with in the Fall • Acoustic Communication • Laser Communication • LED Communication Rochester Institute of Technology

  10. Limited Bandwidth Communication – Areas of Uncertainty • Nature of the projects • These projects rely heavily on electrical and computer engineering skill sets so apportioning the workload correctly may be difficult. • Test Location • The use of the pool as a test facility needs to be investigated. If unavailable or non-ideal due to turbidity or range, another easily accessed facility needs to be found. Rochester Institute of Technology
