About the Peak Detector PCB
Peak Detector is an open source PCB design by Rowson3D, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 71.1 × 53.3 mm, with 20 components from 11 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the LF353. By type, the board carries 9 resistors, 4 diodes, 3 connectors, 2 ICs, 1 transistor and 1 capacitor.
From the project
Team 18 - SDSU Capstone project - FFRV
The FFRV system will be a test box used for measuring the frequency response of a user-provided passive filter. Once started, the system will apply a frequency sweep across an inputted filter, then measure the filter output gain and phase shift using analog computations, inputted to an Arduino Due microcontroller. Thus, this FFRV system will calculate the Bode plots for a real-world filter. The purpose of the FFRV system is to allow students, hobbyists, and other casual filter-designers a rapid way to gain insight into simple filters, such as what frequencies they pass or reject. As such, the…
