Projects:2014S1-11 Wireless Rotation Detector for Sport Equipment
This project focuses on developing a wireless non-optical solution for measuring the rotation of objects. The solution to this problem is approached through the use on antenna and the polarisation effect that antenna are subject to.
High-Level Plan
- Phase 1 :
- Generating the ISM frequency by using the voltage control oscillator.
- Phase 2 :
- Using the transceiver to send the signal.
- The absorber is attached to the target object.
- Receiving the reflected signal from absorber.
- Phase 3 :
- Separating the received signal from the transmitted signal through using of bidirectional-coupler or crosstalk-reduced receiver.
- Phase 4 :
- Using the power of the separated received signal to calculate the rotation speed of the target object.
