Independent research, funded by the Northeastern PEAK Award and mentored by Dr. Stefano Basagni, exploring whether ambient Wi-Fi signals can be re-modulated to transmit data without an active radio. The work was featured in the Northeastern College of Engineering Spotlight.
Overview
PEAK Award-funded independent research on a backscatter system that modulates ambient Wi-Fi signals for passive data transmission. Designed RF filtration, a custom encoding/decoding protocol, and a custom antenna. Mentored by Dr. Stefano Basagni and featured in the NU COE Spotlight.
