BAE designs and builds complete system solutions for platforms such as airplanes and unmanned vehicles.

 

tThe BAE semester project involves the study of an analog demodulator circuit and creating a digital solution and counterpart.

 

nThe Analog demodulator is used in applications such as position detection of aircraft flaps.  It converts differential AC signal into single-ended DC output.  The nDC signal is used as an input to control circuitry.

Problem Description:

The goal of this project is to design a digital demodulator circuit to replace an existing analog demodulator circuit.  The digital counterpart will be compared to the existing analog circuit and analyzed in the following areas: board area, output accuracy, power dissipation, and cost. To determine advantages and disadvantages of the two technologies, the project will be divided into three stages: analysis of the analog circuit, design of a digital circuit, and a comparison of these two circuits.
