…..and I can’t decode it anymore!<\/p>\n
The signal has moved from being transmitted 60 miles away from me, to being transmitted 360 miles away from me, and my receiver isn’t having any of it.<\/p>\n
I’ve tried a few little things to try and improve the sensitivity of the receiver, but so far to no avail.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 I also tried using the lock detect line on a phase locked loop<\/a> (PLL) to see if I could lock to the 60kHz signal.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 This posed a problem though, because of the nature of an amplitude shift keyed<\/a> signal, which is what the 60khz signal is.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 The power level of the signal I was receiving was not enough to get the PLL to lock, and if I increase the amplification in the signal, the entire circuit oscillates, putting the PLL into a permanant lockup.\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0 All very annoying!<\/p>\n I’m going to work on making an ultra sensitive receiver, to hopefully get a decent signal to feed into my already constructed PIC decoder and display.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …..and I can’t decode it anymore!
