Week 1: IR Sensor Circuit

I worked on dual IR sensor circuits used to track an IR beacon. Each circuit filtered and amplified a 10 kHz signal to create analog inputs that had a signal proportionate to the distance a 10 KHz IR emitter. A simplified diagram of the circuit is shown below. At first the circuits were not working due to noise problems, weak op-amp connections, and malfunctioning components. These problems were fixed in the following week.
