Incorrect bandpass filter values for v2b. #2

Closed froeca closed 4 years ago

froeca commented 4 years ago

It was noticed that the component values are incorrect for the band-pass filter on schematic v2b. Below is the ideal values that we designed the filter for:

BPF_ideal

Below is the filter design for v2b. As you notice the values of our design are quite different than what we had intended.

BPF_design_v2b

The difference between the expected and actual design is shown below:

This has fixed in the schematics through the release of v3a. Below is the updated bandpass filter design.

BPF_design_v3a

The components values have been selected to insure that the parts can be obtained off Digikey. See the parts list. is a combination of errors that we found through testing of v2b, which we built for our electronics project. See the project files for the updated schematic.
