From the project
Sounding Rocket Tracking and Positioning Project
The rocket carries a transmitter that continuously downlinks telemetry along with timing signals. Multiple ground receivers (3–4 planned) receive the signal and extract the timing information. With the timing data, the system computes the rocket’s position in real time.
This repository contains the PCB projects for TRACKER - GPSDO-V2: 10 MHz oscillator tuned by the GPS timing signals - basestation-rx: S-band timing signal receiver - tracker-tx-fpga: FPGA baseboard with three subcarrier slots - tracker-subcarrier-adc: ADC subcarrier for FPGA baseboard - tracker-subcarrier-dac: DAC subcarrier…
