Hello to everybody,
I am doing a little project in ultrasounds. I am doing a receiver which should deal with simple signals coming from several transducers. The problem is that the different transducers emit in different channels, and I want to be able to pay attention only to the channel I am interested on. Basically, the receiver will be tuned for receiving only one channel.
There are many channels (in Hz): 39.531, 39.688, 39.844, 40.000, 40156, 40.312, 40.469,
So the application it's around 40 kHz. The application itself is very simple. The signal is a pulse of some milliseconds, and you measure the time until the next pulse, and that time is your information. So I should only detect my specific channel... but I am not sure the simpler method to do so. The rest of the electronics and programing I think I know how to do it, but filtering or detecting a signal in such close proximity to the others... I don't know... an analogue filter won't attenuate enough the nearby channels... maybe something could be done with a pll...
any suggestions for detecting a specific frequency?
Thank you very much in advance...
