Problem Statement • Limitations faced by students in Communication System Lab. • Providing students the basic practical realization of Communication Systems. • Available Open source supporting devices (GNU and USRP) are expensive. Undergraduate Final Year Project Presentation Dated: 10 November, 2016

Continued • The products present in the market are much advanced for undergraduate level. • A low cost set up is needed which is affordable by the student community. Undergraduate Final Year Project Presentation Dated: 10 November, 2016

Proposed Solution • The device will serve as a platform for the students to manipulate communication systems to understand the basic realization of signals in real time. • An affordable teaching and research solution for Communication Systems. • A low cost alternative, 10 times cheaper than the existing one. Undergraduate Final Year Project Presentation Dated: 10 November, 2016

Basic Framework • Providing all the basic building blocks of Communication Systems to students. • Using Linux embedded device (Raspberry pi) to provide easy access for the construction of Communication System. • Providing a simple Programming language interface to construct a transmitter/receiver.
