This robot project is so well thought of that the vast majority of the ECEjuniors that take the course respond positively (4 or 5 response on a 5 point Likert scale) tothe following anonymous course evaluation statement: “The robot project was the bestlearning experience I have had so far at OU.” Specifically, in the Fall 2019 semester, 71.4%of the 28 students that completed the evaluations responded positively to this statement.Table I – ECE3873 Schedule Group # Week # Lab 1 Introduction Lab 1 2

The complex baseband samples are sent to the host computer over USB 2.0,where they can be processed using DSP, such as in GNU Radio. The RTL-SDR can be used forreceiving signals like FM, ADS-B, and RDS, but it is extremely limited because it cannot gohigh enough to reach the 2.4 GHz ISM band, and the 2 MHz bandwidth limit means studentscould not see “full” signals that were wider than 2 MHz, which is a fraction of most modernsignals.
