J. Andy Harriman retains the copyright of his master's
thesis from the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering (ECE) at the University of New Brunswick
(UNB). However, to assist others in typesetting their
theses, he has made available all the files that he
used. Use these files at your own risk. Neither J. Andy
Harriman nor Brent R. Petersen are responsible for any
problems that arise. However, if you have any comments,
we would be glad to try to incorporate your suggestions.

Software

J. Andy Harriman's entire thesis is in the LaTeX project
directory in JAH_Thesis.zip. A number of changes were
made to the UNB default template in order to get the
correct formatting.
The thesis was written under Windows xp using:
BibTeX Reference manager - JabRef 2.0.1 (http://jabref.sourceforge.net/),
TeX Distribution - MiKTeX 2.4 (http://www.miktex.org/),
TeX Editor - TeXnicCenter 1.0 Beta 7 (http://texniccenter.sourceforge.net/), and
Ghostscript, GSView, GIMP 2, and ps2pdf.
Ghostscript, GSView, and GIMP 2 were used to edit and
convert images and figures. The MiKTeX distribution tended
to like PDF figures more so than PS or EPS. PS to PDF
conversions were done at the command line using ps2pdf.
Typesetting the files was also tested with the command
pdflatex under Mac OS X and OpenBSD.  The Typeset Thesis

transceiver testbed with signalling-wavelength-spaced

Abstract

We propose a novel software-defined radio
implementation of a four-channel transceiver testbed with
signalling-wavelength-spaced antennas.  The radio frequency
side of the system is implemented using commercial
off-the-shelf products, whereas the baseband processing
portion of the system is implemented on a pair of Altera(R)
Stratix(R) II EP2S180 development boards with high-speed
Analog Devices analog-to-digital converter daughter
boards.  The Altera(R) field programmable gate array is used
to implement digital signal processing algorithms and to
affect centralized control over the entire system.  A goal
was to create a testbed for algorithms and radio channel
measurements.
