Communication (Educational) Kit (HaKi)

Wireless communication has become an indispensable part of our lives. So how does this communication happen? With the “Communication (Educational) Kit (HaKi)” project, we aim to teach wireless communication in an engaging way by experiencing it in a real environment. The kit is a low-cost integrated development environment that includes open-architecture hardware and software and it can be utilized to visualize and process RF signals that exist around us but that we cannot see, for example, to listen to the broadcast from an FM radio station, to analyze the signal coming from the mobile handheld radio or remote control, or to obtain the location and flight information by capturing the signals emitted by the aircraft in the air. The kit can be used to raise awareness and interest in communication systems with a simple user interface at the primary education level. A secondary school student can put his learning in Mathematics, Science, and Informatics courses into practice in the communication field with the Python language. Combined with an integrated curriculum at the higher education level, the kit offers a one-place opportunity for students who want to improve themselves in the fields of Communication / Digital Signal Processing / Software Development. Hobbyists, on the other hand, will have all the things they need in order to realize the project they want. In short, the kit has an innovative, low-cost, and extensible structure, making it suitable for users of all ages and levels, and for both in-person and remote education models.

Abstract

Wireless communication has become an indispensable part of our lives. So how does this communication happen? With the “Communication (Educational) Kit (HaKi)” project, we aim to teach wireless communication in an engaging way by experiencing it in a real environment. The kit is a low-cost integrated development environment that includes open-architecture hardware and software and it can be utilized to visualize and process RF signals that exist around us but that we cannot see, for example, to listen to the broadcast from an FM radio station, to analyze the signal coming from the mobile handheld radio or remote control, or to obtain the location and flight information by capturing the signals emitted by the aircraft in the air. The kit can be used to raise awareness and interest in communication systems with a simple user interface at the primary education level. A secondary school student can put his learning in Mathematics, Science, and Informatics courses into practice in the communication field with the Python language. Combined with an integrated curriculum at the higher education level, the kit offers a one-place opportunity for students who want to improve themselves in the fields of Communication / Digital Signal Processing / Software Development. Hobbyists, on the other hand, will have all the things they need in order to realize the project they want. In short, the kit has an innovative, low-cost, and extensible structure, making it suitable for users of all ages and levels, and for both in-person and remote education models.
