About the MTS module
MTS module is an open source PCB design by TU-Darmstadt-APQ, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-1.2 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 160 × 100 mm, with 128 components from 51 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the LT3094EMSE#PBF, LT3045EMSE#PBF, HMC1031MS8E, OPA695IDBVR and CVCO45CL-0100-0140. By type, the board carries 51 capacitors, 40 resistors, 17 ICs, 12 connectors, 6 diodes and 1 test point.
From the project
Module for AOM-based modulation transfer spectroscopy (MTS) signal generation.
Modulation Transfer Spectroscopy (MTS) Module =================== This repository contains the KiCad 7 design files of a module for MTS error-signal generation. The module provides a frequency modulated RF signal applicable to AOM-based MTS. The signal is generated by a VCO. The carrier frequency is locked to a stable reference in a low-bandwidth PLL. A frequency modulation at a frequency exceeding the PLL bandwidth is added to the input of the VCO. The board also contains a section for phase-sensitive demodulation of the error signal including a 4th order filter. The PCB is used with a DDS…
