Project objects

Scope

• Design and construct a portable wireless device which can accurately measure the speed of rotating object.

Specific Aims

• Design and produce a metamaterial absorber with resonate frequency of 2.4GHz.

• Design and fabricate a planar dual-antenna which can transmit and receive signals with limited crosstalk.

• Design a software system which can calculate the rotation speed.

Background & Significance

• Rotation speed measurement devices widely used in industries.

• Current popular rotation speed measurement devices, such as laser tachometer, use visible light.

• Can not use if line of sight blocked.

• Intend to change – use Electromagnetic Wave instead
