Project Description
Project Overview:
This capstone project aims to explore the capabilities of Light Fidelity (LiFi) technology for transmitting video data over air. LiFi uses visible light communication (VLC) to transmit data, offering high-speed wireless communication that can be integrated into existing lighting infrastructure. The project will involve designing, implementing, and testing a LiFi system capable of transmitting video data reliably and efficiently.
Skill Sets Required:
• Understanding of optical communication principles
• Experience with electronics and circuit design
• Knowledge of signal processing and modulation techniques
• Skills in software development and programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB)
• Familiarity with video encoding and decoding
• Experience with testing and troubleshooting communication systems
Summary:
Through this capstone project, students will gain valuable skills in optical communication, electronics design, signal processing, and software development. They will have hands-on experience with designing and implementing LiFi systems, encoding and decoding video data, and integrating and testing complex communication systems. This project will prepare students for future work in advanced wireless communication technologies and provide them with practical skills in both hardware and software development.
