Microprocessor, linear potentiometer deliver echo pulses


Posted on Apr 15, 2012

For designers of radar or sonar echo-ranging systems, an echo imitator can ease development and adjustment chores by generating a controllable pulse that's similar to an incoming echo signal. A decade ago, you'd probably use several 555 timers and their associated RC circuits to design an echo imitator. As Figure 1 shows, today's version uses only two components: linear potentiometer R1 and a small, low-end microcontroller, IC1.
