Tracker subcarrier dac
About the Tracker subcarrier dac PCB
Tracker subcarrier dac is an open source PCB design by AntonSievering, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 22 × 66 mm, with 77 components from 18 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the DAC908E and MCP1501T-12E/CHY. By type, the board carries 33 capacitors, 29 resistors, 8 inductors, 4 connectors and 3 ICs.
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…
