Short Presentation
Over the time, there has been a larger number of projects assigned to- and accomplished by- students (with more or less success) and those listed below encompass some of them worth mentioning within each course or area I cover in the school curricula.
Radiocommunications / Microwave Engineering (RF/microwave/computational electromagnetics)
- A computational model for wireless power transfer
- An FDTD code for analysis of an acoustic wave propagation through an inhomogeneous medium
- Electromagnetic analysis of slot effects on the resonant frequency behavior of a slotted antenna
- Self-recoverable antenna arrays research based on FPGA boards
- Design of textile antennas
- Design of various microstrip antennas (e.g. rectangular microstrip antennas)
- Design of reconfigurable antennas
- Design of helix antennas
- Wilkinson power divider
- Design of a PIN-diode based phase shifter
- Design and analysis of a binomial impedance transformer
- MATLAB/Excel/LabVIEW codes for analysis of propagation problems
- LabVIEW application for remote usage of RF spectrum analyzer
- LabVIEW application for remote usage of oscilloscope
Mobile applications developed
- MapMe by Cirle: a real-time friend finder
- License Plate Check: a mobile app to identify a vehicle based on the complete or incomplete license license plate number
- Tennis Partner Search (TPS): mobile search for tennis partner based on various criteria set, from the home area or from the current location
- Tennis Center Finder (TCF): a web app for finding tennis facilities and adding new ones
- Propagation Models: a mobile app for evaluation of the Friis equation, plane-earth propagation model, free-space attenation etc.
- Sport Center Finder: mobile phone-based finder of various sports facilities and their online evaluation
- SALE app: a mobile application to get notified about the deals and sales in contributing stores
- Police Checkpoint Alert (PCA): a sound alert about entering the police checkpoint area based on the user-defined radius set and the real-time notification from contributing users
- Carpool (Rijeka): an app to connect a willing driver and a hitchhiker in need, based on their preferred routes and times. It could be expanded for other cities and outside the city areas
- Bus_App: an app to suggest which bus line to take to make a ride between the two points and also compares the total ride time between a few similar options
Web application developed
- Advanced school timetable (management of classes, instructors, groups, composite request etc.)
- Management of theses and mentor assignment
- RENT app: a web app for evaluation of apartment landlords and rentners
- Lab equipment inventory: a web app to store and manage lab inventory
- Small business administration app: to manage clients, treatments, supplies and other data pertinent to a small business owner
- eVoting: a web app for managing electronic voting
- The Smith Chart app: for drawing and evaluating impedances, reflection coefficients, and standing wave ratios using the Smith Chart
Mobile Communications
