EE535 - PROJECT 2
Ethernet Collision Simulation Applet
Project Proposal.
-
In this project we will implement a java applet that
demonstrates through animation
the behavior of a transmission line which is is terminated with its
characteristic impedance, subject to
real line attenuation and uses a local average stategy to detect
collisions of Ethernet pulses.
Referring to the virtual textbook chapter and any other reference
materials you need, develop a good
understanding of the computation of the voltage and current waves that
traverse a line as a function of
characteristic line impedance and terminations.
- The Java applet allows the user to enter the line
length and attenuation of the line in
db/meter and a threshold value for collision detection.
The applet should now compute the average of ten received pulses
at the center of the cable from one
transmitter and from two transmitters. It then displays the collision
decision based on the calculations and the given threshold.
