IEEE Waves & Hunters
IEEE WAVES AND HUNTERS was a dynamic and interactive event that combined technology, competition, and community engagement. The activity featured two core challenges: Fox Hunting and AM/FM Demodulation, where participants were required to utilize Software Defined Radio (SDR) tools to locate hidden transmitters and decode real-time signals. This unique blend of practical RF skills and analytical problem-solving created an exciting and educational environment for attendees.
Objectives:
-
Promote hands-on learning and experimentation with SDR technology.
-
Encourage participants to apply RF theory in real-world scenarios.
-
Strengthen the sense of community through collaborative problem-solving and optional networking.
-
Provide a platform for interdisciplinary student engagement and skills development.
Highlights:
-
Participants engaged in a Fox Hunting competition using SDR receivers to locate hidden RF sources.
-
Real-time AM/FM signal demodulation tasks tested technical agility and knowledge.
-
Prizes were awarded to top performers in both categories.
-
An optional networking session fostered connections among students and professionals passionate about wireless communication and electronics.
