Diseño e Implementación de un Módulo didáctico para pruebas físicas y simuladas, utilizando cables tipo Coaxial y UTP para uso de estudiantes de la carrera Ingeniería en Telecomunicaciones de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana

Abstract

The degree project "Design and implementation of a didactic module that allows to calculate characteristic parameters of Coaxial and UTP cables for the Telecommunications laboratory of the Salesian Polytechnic University" is designed and oriented specifically for the students of the Engineering in Electronics Career with emphasis in Telecommunications. With the results obtained, the students can complement and take practical tests in the corresponding subjects, such as the subjects "Computer Networks, Transmission Media." Such as calculating parameters of Coaxial and UTP cables, developing network cables, checking and verifying the condition of the cables, among other functions. The degree project consists of two parts, one simulated and the other practical. For the simulation, the MATLAB program and COMSOL Multiphysics are used. In the simulation in the MATLAB software, it will allow to calculate the characteristic parameters of the cables such as attenuation, resistivity, conductivity, characteristic impedances, among others, since this code is executed together with the Raspberry and MATLAB online and the results are reflected in a display. COMSOL Multiphysics allows us to model a prototype of the Coaxial cable, enter complex values, current, voltage, magnetic field, among others. Regarding the Coaxial cable, it allows to reflect the results and graphs according to their corresponding parameters. In the practical part, use is made of a cable tester, which allows to verify the status, length and connection of UTP cables and Coaxial cables.
