Projects

Over the time, there has been a larger number of projects assigned to- and accomplished by- students (with more or less success) and those listed below encompass some of them worth mentioning within each course or area I cover in the school curricula.

Radiocommunications / Microwave Engineering (RF/microwave/computational electromagnetics)

• A computational model for wireless power transfer

  • An FDTD code for analysis of an acoustic wave propagation through an inhomogeneous medium

  • Electromagnetic analysis of slot effects on the resonant frequency behavior of a slotted antenna

  • Streamlined design and 3D printing of a horn antenna with an integrated feed

  • Self-recoverable antenna arrays research based on FPGA boards

  • Design of textile antennas

  • Design of various microstrip antennas (e.g. rectangular microstrip antennas)

  • Design of reconfigurable antennas

  • Design of helix antennas

  • Wilkinson power divider

  • Design of a PIN-diode based phase shifter

  • Design and analysis of a binomial impedance transformer

  • MATLAB/Excel/LabVIEW codes for analysis of propagation problems

Mobile applications developed

• • Vehicle Licence Plate and Insurance Identification (Provjera registracije vozila) 

  • MapMe by Cirle: a real-time friend finder

  • Tennis Partner Search (TPS): mobile search for tennis partner based on various criteria set, from the home area or from the current location

  • Tennis Center Finder (TCF): a web app for finding tennis facilities and adding new ones

  • Propagation Models: a mobile app for evaluation of the Friis equation, plane-earth propagation model, free-space attenation etc.

  • Sport Center Finder: mobile phone-based finder of various sports facilities and their online evaluation

  • SALE app: a mobile application to get notified about the deals and sales in contributing stores

  • Police Checkpoint Alert (PCA): a sound alert about entering the police checkpoint area based on the user-defined radius set and the real-time notification from contributing users

  • Carpool (Rijeka): an app to connect a willing driver and a hitchhiker in need, based on their preferred routes and times. It could be expanded for other cities and outside the city areas

  • Bus_App: an app to suggest which bus line to take to make a ride between the two points and also compares the total ride time between a few similar options

Web application developed

• • Advanced school timetable (management of classes, instructors, groups, composite request etc.)

• Management of theses and mentor assignment

  • RENT app: a web app for evaluation of apartment landlords and rentners

  • Lab equipment inventory: a web app to store and manage lab inventory

  • Small business administration app: to manage clients, treatments, supplies and other data pertinent to a small business owner

  • eVoting: a web app for managing electronic voting

  • The Smith Chart app: for drawing and evaluating impedances, reflection coefficients, and standing wave ratios using the Smith Chart

Mobile Communications

• • Comparison of NFC vs. Low-energy Bluetooth technologies

  • Mobilization of web applications

  • Codes for modulations analysis
