
Using a Schottky Diode: Surface Mount Low Barrier X-Band:
MACOM part # MA4E2054
RF input
On Antenna Board
DC output
To control Board
Schottky Diode output will be a low level DC Voltage
(~mV)
Amplification must take place to guarantee proper A/D
conversion:
Amplification using LF356 op-amp (easy, low noise, cheap)
Antenna Signal Filtering:
Implementing a LF356 op-amp to
create a “Sallen-Key” Low Pass Filter
 Design fc = 5kHz
Additional LPF with RC filter
MC68HC11 A/D
One of 8 channels implemented (PE0: pin59)
OPTION control Register:

on start-up
$1039 (enable A/D):
 ADPU: A/D Power Up: (1) Enables A/D capabilities
 CSEL: Clock Select Enable: (0) Use E Clock (2Mhz)
A/D Control/Status Register: (ADCTL)

$1030 (Define A/D parameters): __000000
 SCAN: Continuous Scan Control bit: (0) not used
 MULT: Multiple-Channel Control bit: (0) single channel used
 CD,CC,CB,CA: Channel Select Bits: 0000 = PE0
Processor, Bus Driver, and Latches
Chip Select, EPROM, SRAM
Antenna Control
Communication with
Peripherals
RS-232 interface with user
Use a CAN bus to link antennas

A balanced, 2-wire interface running over a
Shielded Twisted Pair
NRZ encoding reduces disturbances
CAN bus
RS-232
Software Executive
Main Loop


Task specific - latch data gathered on command
Subtasks
 Read data on latches
 Compare data from latches to determine highest power
reading
 Find a location with a simple distance algorithm:
Antenna 1
z
Antenna 2
ø
* Know Z and ø, can find d
Transmitter
d
 Output visual display on a dummy terminal for user
