The goal of this project is to provide AVISTA line crews with critical safety information concerning possible arc flash hazards (AFH) at each work location by enabling GoBook Geographic Information System (GIS) displays to show AFH levels. Enabling the GIS display function would benefit the linemen by informing them of potential AFH at their work location so that they can select the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

Our team was assigned to deliver a User’s Manual for implementing a software defined radio (SDR) in Gonzaga University’s Smart Antenna Radio Laboratory (SARL). As a vehicle and example our team programmed, integrated, and tested two SDRs in an end-to-end link. The SDR contains radio frequency hardware and digital signal processing components conducive to radio technology development within the SARL. Our team’s manual covered all aspects of our radio reference design, tools and processes required to duplicate and develop new designs. The output of this project serves as a foundation for future Senior Design projects within the SARL to support local industry.
