Subject: Project 2 Weekly Memo 7

This memo outlines the progress made this week as well as goals for next week.

Progress

The group has identify the key parts of the project and assigned jobs to each group members.

2 members are working on the software while the other 3 are working on the hardware.

Hardware

We have built the peak detector as well as the two resolution bandwidth filters. Both resolution bandwidth filters has a centre frequency of 8Mhz. However, the bandwidth of the bandwidth filter is not yet adjusted because the capacitor stock ran out. We would continue with the adjustment in the following week after obtaining the appropriate capacitor values.

Besides that, we built an amplifier for the ramp generator because the maximum voltage output from the myDAQ is not enough to sweep through our local oscillator range from 78 Mhz to 98 Mhz.

Software

There has been no update to the software portion this week. All members were focusing on the hardware part of the project for now.

Goals for Next Week

1. Start building the transistor amplifiers

2. Assemble everything together

3. Test the circuit out with the software.
