17 years agoStratix II: Coil circuit
I am trying to create a very close range wireless communication using stratix II fpga. I want to achieve that using coil - coil communication. So I connected coil1 to fpga1 with a series resi...

17 years ago --- Quote Start --- You can easily see, that it's impossible to achieve a several 100 MHz resonance above a certain coil inductance. But there's no need to have more than one turn with your coil, thus you may be still able to design a coupler with sufficient output level. --- Quote End --- Could you please elaborate more on this? I understood what you said, still I do not understand the reason or the explanation of it. --- Quote Start --- You should consider however, that you're effectively operating a RF transmitter with considerable output power (mW range) --- Quote End --- What is the best way to measure transmitted power in this case? Isnt the average power consumed by the coil is zero? I know if I want to transmit more voltage, I have to transmit less current. But since I am dealing with FPGA, I am more interested to transmit higher voltage. How would I increase the transmitted power? --- Quote Start --- and that your instrument won't pass EMC tests unless the coupler is completely shielded by a metallic enclosure. Even if you would use a free ISM (industry, science and medical) frequency, the clock signal has to be thoroughly filtered from harmonics. --- Quote End --- okay give me a moment here. 1. I have to make an EMC test? 2. How should I filter my transmitted signal? Just use a bandpass digital filter at the output of FPGA1 (the transmitter)? or programming this FPGA to do that job and output a filtered signal is a better option? 3. Will it really cause me, as a person, a problem to send a wireless signal with some harmonics outside the ISM band? Thanx! Interesting discussion we have here!
