The Harvey Mudd Clinic team was asked to design and construct a Field Portable Test Kit for use in analyzing Satellite signal characteristics. The kit must accept a downlink satellite dish signal and perform a variety of tests on this signal. It should meet an airline’s restrictions for any checked baggage and be able to be carried by one person.
