  2. Motivation • Wanted to gain experience in many different engineering disciplines • C# - GUI • Optics – Laser Range Finder • Wireless Communication • Controlling Peripheral Devices via Microcontroller

  3. Goals • Calculate the GPS coordinates of a user specified target using the following components. • Wireless Camera • Laser Rangefinder • Digital Compass • GPS Module • Minimize • Cost • Weight • Power Consumption

  4. Project Specifications • Target Specs • 50m minimum distance • 1000m maximum distance • 10m x 10m minimum target size • Accuracy • Rangefinder distance within ±10m • Self GPS coordinates within 5m radius of true location • Compass heading within ±1° of true heading • Final target GPS coordinates within 50m radius of true location

  7. Rangefinder Subsystem • Methods of Laser Rangefinding • Triangulation • Easiest method both conceptually and design • Based on geometry • Increasingly less accurate as range increases • Interferometry • Most accurate method of laser rangefinding • Can measure small distances on order of wavelengths • Time-of-flight • Can measure very large distances with great accuracy • This is the approach that we will implement

  8. Time-of-Flight Rangefinder

  9. Receiver Module Components • Photodetector • HV Power Supply • Front End Amplifier (Transimpedance Amp) • NIR optical filter • Receiver Lens

  10. Avalanche Photodiode (Detector) • Pros • Highly Sensitive Photodetectors • Make use of avalanche multiplication for increased gain • High Speed • Designed for rangefinder applications • Allows for larger maximum range detection • Cons • Require HV reverse bias to get maximum gain • Exhibit higher dark current than alternatives • Small active area makes alignment difficult

  11. APD Design Characteristics • Peak Spectral Response • Cost and Availability • Minimum Dark Current • Required Bias Voltage

  12. Pacific Silicon AD230-9 • Enhanced for NIR detection at 900nm • Low noise equivalent power = 10fW/√Hz • TO-52 Package allows for easy mounting Spectral Response at M = 100

  13. HV Power Supply—EMCO A025P • Proportional Input/Output Voltage • 250VDC when full 5V input applied • Low peak-to-peak ripple (<1%) • Maximum Output Current 4mA • Low turn on voltage of 0.7V

  19. Threshold Detection • Prevent False Alarms • Capture as much energy as possible • Keep noise floor low • Set threshold

  20. Laser Transmitter Design Parameters • Output Power—Need high power laser diode to meet maximum range criterion • Pulsewidth—Must have short pulsewidth to have high axial (range) resolution (V x τp) • Wavelength—Transmitter near peak responsivity of photodetector. • Beam Divergence—low divergence angle to ensure maximum energy on target

  23. Diode Driver CCAIXYS PCO 7110-50-15 • Pros • Very small in size at 1”x2.5” • Produces fixed pulsewidth at 15ns • Can produce up to 50A diode drive current • Diode mounts easily to CCA. (Radial or Axial options) • Cons • Also requires high voltage source • 33ns propagation delay • Difficult T-zero capture

  24. Diode Driver continued • Supply Current • Ips = (Cpfn + Cfet + Cstray) * Vin * f • Ips = (4000pF + 120pF + 430pF) *195V *1Hz =0.9µA • Output Current • Directly dependent on HV supply (195V is max)
