EE 418x - High Speed System Measurements and Testing

For this class I worked on a number of different labs and projects to learn more about making and analyzing high speed measurements from testing. For my final end of semester project, I decided to analyze coaxial cable and connectors in an amateur radio environment. As a result of these tests, I decided to continue this project into the spring semester as an independent study course.
