Specific Design Approaches • Implement the shortest possible path for all communications. • Utilize HP3, RM, and LC series Linx modules for separate wireless links. • Employ a Motorola 68HC12 to provide user selectable frequency selection of the HP3’s. • Provide a wireless link between serial ports of the microprocessors to allow data communication.
Issues and Solutions • Interference and noise in wireless links. • Implement more direct communication (no retransmission of information). • Headset to headset – intercom, base station to base station – call feature, base station to headset – channel selection and additional features. • Difficulty employing digital technology. • Design all audio circuits for high quality analog communications. • Synchronous serial communication required for HP3 channel selection. • Utilize a synchronizer and combinational logic to recreate the clock pulse.
CommunicationTeam Micah Wu Daniel Anderson Nathaniel Anderson
Pending Tasks • Try to further eliminate noise using filters and adjusting channel frequency separation. • Consider power requirements and choose power supplies. • Implement the optimum antenna design for each wireless link. • Construct circuit components. • Interface with the other team’s components.

Audio Team William Peacock Chris Barber Omar Saleem
Pending Tasks VOX/PTT Finalize the design and build the system that activates the transmitter and deactivates the receiver using the low power option on the HP3 modules. The VOX system rectifies the output of the microphone pre-amp and closes a relay to complete the HP3’s power down circuit. The push button directly completes the circuit. Noise Reduction Finalize the design of an audio mixer and second microphone system to block unwanted background noise. Amplifiers Finalize the design of the low-noise microphone pre-amps and power headphone amplifiers
