Check for new weekly material each Monday afternoon
Some of you have been asking about the little kit of parts in the vending machine.
It is a set of components that may be assembled to build a simple short wave receiver.
You will recognize some of these circuits from lecture, including the half diode ring mixer.
ECE 510 Instrumentation and Measurement I course materials
Please attend the CRAW Seminar Wednesday March 5 from 2:30 to 4:00 in the Dean's Conference Room
These are current Instrumentation and Measurement activities on the Oregon Coast.
Note: Extra Credit for appropriate questions to Dr. Shearman about his measurement system hardware.
some of Dr. Shearman's other work involves deploying inexpensive temperature sensors on commercial fisherman crab pots

Dr. Campbell's Analog Signal Labs has three laboratories in off-campus locations.
Each has external antennas and access to signals and natural environments not available at an urban campus.
The primary focus of Analog Signal Labs is the hardware/electronics transition between the natural world
Electromagnetic and Acoustic environments and the input to an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) for subsequent
Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
The Rad Lab is the primary design, fabrication, test, and measurement facility for
new RF and analog signal processing hardware, antennas, and sensor platforms.
Analog Signal Labs has historically focused on Direct Conversion systems, innovative IQ modulator/demodulators and applications, printed
circuit board microwave transmit and receive systems, wide in-channel dynamic range receivers, near field sensors, and 2 element arrays.
Recent work includes low-noise balanced measurements, floating ground amplifiers, and modulated scatterer telemetry.
Here is a violin microphone system developed in collaboration with Geesman Violins

Matched Pairs of Sensors, Analog and Digital Signal Processors for 2 Element Array studies
Analog Signal Labs is engaged in formal and informal collaborations with the 1/f Noise Lab at Cascade Microtech, the Microwave
Device Characterization Lab at TriQuint Semiconductor, Wireless Remote Sensing lab at Lizard Monitoring, Kanga US, Geesman Violins,
and a steadily growing list of other Portland laboratories engaged in low-noise, high-frequency and on-wafer measurements.
A most delightful and entertaining set of collaborations involves the extended community of recently retired former Bell Labs colleagues,
academic scientists, and Research engineers who invented the technical world as we know it and haven't slowed down a bit now that
they are free to pursue curiosity-driven basic rather than externally-funded applied research.
HMS Bounty was a school ship, an extended community, an iconic bit of history,
and a gathering place for thousands of her students and former crew.
14 of her crew were successfully rescued. Deckhand Claudene Christian did not survive.
The Coast Guard continues to search for her Captain, Robin Walbridge.
These are short essays on pertinent or impertinent topics of current interest
They may appear at the rate of one per month
These are new course notes in development for upcoming classes
Material added as it becomes available
These are course notes from professional development classes taught by Dr. Campbell
Format is short presentation followed by in-depth white board discussion
