    This tutorial allows students to learn about physical layer over-the-air radio channel measurements. The tutorial allows them to transmit and receive continouous-wave (CW) signals on the POWDER wireless testbed. The learning objectives are: to be able to use the Shout measurement framework to automate TX/RX functions across multiple POWDER nodes; work with complex-valued signals in the time domain and frequency domain; compute the received power from a received complex-valued signal; and know how received power decreases as a function of path length. The tutorial involves code to be run on POWDER as well as a python notebook to process the received signals.

  2. This tutorial allows students to build a software-defined receiver to demodulate an OFDM packet. The signals we use in the tutorial were transmitted and received over the air on the POWDER wireless testbed. Students have the receiver do synchronization, dropping of the cyclic prefix, performing the FFT, doing channel estimation using the pilot data, and then coding a symbol decision block. The bits generated from this are used to generate a string, which lets the student know that they have successfully completed the receiver design.

  3. This tutorial allows students to build a software-defined receiver for a narrowband QPSK receiver. The receiver starts with a QPSK signal recorded over-the-air on the POWDER wireless network. Then it walks the student through synchronization in time, frequency, and phase. The student builds in convolution and downsampling. Then the student codes the symbol detector and appends bits to the output. At the end, they convert the bit vector to a string message that shows them that they successfully built the receiver.
