As a CET major, I am required to do a project in my final semester. I've decided to try to replicate a pet tracking system with my own unique twist.
What I am trying to create is simple receiver with 4-6 LEDs setup in a circular fashion. Each LED will be placed in series with an antenna for receiving the the 433 MHz signal (433MHz not required, as long as amateur range is utilized). This allows the LED-antenna combination, facing the direction of the origin of the signal, to light up.
Also, when the transmitter starts to go out of range of the receiver, I want the alarm to sound alerting the owner.
Block Diagram
Transmitter
Battery-->Oscillator-->Amplifier Circuit-->Antenna
Receiver
Antenna-->Bandpass Filter (LC circuit)-->RF Amplifier-->Detector-->Amplifier-->Alarm
Any Ideas?
Any guidance is greatly appreciated
