Purpose - To aid in design and development of
communications protocols
through wireless networks using Phase
Shift Keying techniques.
Synopsis - This device employs an adaptive protocol
scheme that can either be
modified, or designed from the ground
up by the end user.
It can demodulate at rates upwards of 1mbps, variable
stream baud rates.
This initial prototype as seen here
communicates through the PC through
wired Ethernet cable.
Reception has been tested at frequencies ranging
from 100Mc to
2Gc and has a variable high pass filter. One of the problems
with
the device are that it has to use the Manchester Protocol to
communicate with the PC, making it somewhat sloppy as ECC
also
has to be used in the windows native subsystem.This problem
is
solved by using the PC's USB port.
Assembly of the RJ-45 interface
Primitive early version of the USB interface
As working on this is always progressing Im always continuing to look for improvements and increasing performance.
I found that microcontroller devices can play a very important role, specifically the AtTiny85.
I build a few multifunction devices and thanks to Ihsan Kehribar for the littlewire design and software and Jenna Fox (Bluebie) for the Micronucleus boot loader
I am able to offload processing routines right to the chip, run the code and return very satisfying results.
Several tools that I wrote may be of interest to people working with this chip among them is an x86 native code library for use in languages such as
VB6, Freebasic, and Lazarus, making it easy to program against in more familiar languages if you dont write code in C# / VB.net
As soon as the source code is "cleaned up" a bit I will post it on this site.
