Digital vs. Analog Demodulator


Abstract

BAE Systems tasked this team with converting an analog demodulator into a digital demodulator.  The new circuit needs to reduce board space and production cost.  The Penn State BAE Systems Team first analyzed the analog circuit to determine its performance.  Based on cost and size advantages, a DSP chip was then selected to use in the new design.  The completed circuit was then tested for power and accuracy, and final cost and size was compiled.  Based on this analysis, the BAE Systems Team recommends a switch from the analog to the digital circuit.
