Abstract: This paper presents a case study on the mechanical design and fabrication of the Pico Radio Test Bed: a wireless networking node produced from off–the-shelf componentsfor experimentation with applications, networking, media access layer design, and position locating algorithms. Particular focus is placed on the systematic design process and resolving coupling design constraints between the mechanical and electrical domains. Three generations of the design are presented to demonstrate the evolution of the design as conflicts arise, problems are noticed, and requirements change.
Introduction – Concurrent Design: Concurrent design is also known by several other names, including simultaneous engineering, concurrent engineering (CE), and integrated product development. Even though these terms were not coined until the early 1980s, the concepts that CE embodies have been implemented as early as World War II (Ziemke & Spann, 1993). Noble states that “concurrent engineering is typically defined as the integration of both the product and the manufacturing design processes. The goal of this integration is to reduce the product development time, to reduce the cost, and to provide a product that better meets the customer’s expectations.”
