Projects

Project PCB

01 · Control Electronics

Variable Flux Motor (VFM) Control PCB

Designed and debugged a control circuit for a DC motor to adjust the magnetic coupling of a VFM. The design incorporated a 555 timer for local PWM generation, a current-sensing feedback loop, and H-bridge drivers for bidirectional motor control.

Altium DesignerSoldering

02 · RF electronics

Power Amplifier and Low-Pass Filter

Designed and tested a 14 MHz Class E RF power amplifier with a fifth-order low-pass filter, delivering 5 W of power into a 50 Ω antenna.

Altium DesignerLTspiceOscilloscope

03 · Digital Design

FPGA Dinosaur Game

Implemented the Dinosaur Game in Verilog, incorporating FSMs to manage input/output devices, including a keyboard, VGA display, and speakers.
