Limited Bandwidth Communication – Potential Concepts Dr. Kwasinski He is very interested in guiding all communication teams but doesn’t have any current research in this area. His background is in laser communication and signal processing. One of these projects will be run with in the Fall Acoustic Communication Laser Communication LED Communication September 21, 2018 Rochester Institute of Technology

Limited Bandwidth Communication – Areas of Uncertainty Nature of the projects These projects rely heavily on electrical and computer engineering skill sets so apportioning the workload correctly may be difficult. Test Location The use of the pool as a test facility needs to be investigated. If unavailable or non-ideal due to turbidity or range, another easily accessed facility needs to be found.
