Well, our meetings take place on wednesdays at 10:30 (sharp). A radio controlled clock is used to determine whether you are late (and must bring a cake next time) or not. Unfortunately the identical radio controlled clock in my office always shows a different time :-( After baking a lot of cakes, I thought about synchronising these disreputable clocks ... The straight approach would be to have a crystal oscillator, amplitude modulated by a microprocessor. As we did promise (2859!) not to abuse the donated crystals for that reason, another approach is used here - which makes the system even more flexible. To generate a stable frequency, usually a PLL is used (or DDS). In order to gather some insight in the nature of a PLL, a small PLL-Demoboard (including a small PLL-Seminar) was designed.

The project uses three PCB's, one for generating the carrier (PLL-Demoboard) and one for the correct (!) modulation of the carrier and one for the Power Supply. As radio controlled clocks use some kind of checking the received codeword( 30th of February will never be accepted :-) there must be a microprocessor, assuring that the sent generated codeword is valid. • PCB#1 may be any clock source of the carrier of your choice. We use the PLL-Demoboard. • PCB#2 is the Frontpanel, containing the Microprocessor and ASK Modulator. (Picture below) • PCB#3 is some kind of Power Supply, delivering +12V...+30V/200 mA and + 5V/100 mA. Picture above : The Mainboard, assembled, behind the Frontpanel.

It is therefore possible to modulate the TTL Signal with 16 Steps. This is somehow cracking a nut with a sledgehammer, but we wanted to present something nifty to comply with the 'educational aspect'. Note: As we wanted to have a single sided PCB, we reduced this later to 3 Bit. Where a '0' is represented by a 100 ms drop to 25% Amplitude and a '1' drop lasts 200 ms.

(Decoupling with an 1 kΩ Resistor). It is assumed, that the portion radiated through the Antenna is very small, as we use an Attenuator of 30 dB. (and of course operate it in a fully shielded room :-) Connecting the Signal Generator to the Clock - using a DC-Block and a 30 dB Attenuator from Mini Circuits - the Situation is as follows :DCF77 Receiver ModulesForum: Analoge Elektronik und Schaltungstechnik DCF77 zum Tausendsten.AV4: DCF77 Antenna distributor, (4-port, external)DCF77 Analyzer/Clock v2.0DCF77-Empfänger für LED-Basic-KomponentenWelcome to the World of Electronics.Welcome to the World of Electronics.
