I have designed the attached circuit for detecting how long an ultrasonic pulse need to to travel a distance. the input signal is going to be from a 40 k ultrasonic receiver. First stage is 40k Band pass - 1k pass band - differential MFB filter with a gain of 2. 25dB at Center frequency. In feedback path of differential amplifier I have used 33k in

stead of ideal value of 31. 6k. I will appreciate some useful comments on how this circuit can be improved. Also I am going to design a PCB using smt components. I need suggestion to improve the circuit like adding capacitor to supply rail and VOCM which will reduce power supply noise etc. The TH4503doesprovidesthe necessary minimum gain-bandwidth (GBW) requiredto support your filter requirements. The effect of using the 33k resistor willincreasethe gain slightly and move thecenter frequencydownby asmall amount. You can see the affects if you simulate the filter using TINA-TI. I can`t help but wonder why youchose touse the 33 k 1%, when 31. 6 k 1 % is a standard value too. I am concerned with attempting to get a gain of 1000 v/V at 40 kHz from a single stage. The OPA320 does not have sufficient bandwidth to supply that gain at 40 kHz. I suggestdividing the gain up equally between two operational amplifiers in a dual amplifier ( OPA2320 ). The OPA320 appears to have about 55 dB of open-loop gain at 40 kHz and each stage would need 29. 5 dB of closed-loop gain -so there isn`t much loop gain left. The OPA2350 has about 5 dB more gain at 40 kHz so two stages may come closer in developing the 1000 V/V (60 dB) closed-loop gain you seek. A higher gain-bandwidth operational amplifier may be necessary. You willneed to place an effective bypasscapacitor path at each of the points where Vcc and the 1/2 Vcc voltage connects to the...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
