About

Are you interested in learning how to use wireless signals to sense breathing and heart-rate passively? Are you interested in learning how you can use wireless signals to communicate and interact with objects, machines, and humans? Do you want to build sensing and communication for autonomous systems (robots, self-driving cars, drones) which can provide a variety of applications (mapping, agricultural surveillance)? Are you interested in building the next wireless tech giant (like Qualcomm)?

The goal of this course is to cover the fundamentals of wireless communication and expose to sensing with wireless signals. The course would provide hands-on experience in developing the above systems.

Prerequisites: This class presumes an elementary knowledge of signal processing and linear algebra.

The labs are designed to teach you how to predict breathing rate and heart rate using wireless signal.

We collect wireless data using a Walabot.
