Concerns/Issues• Simulation with software difficult because the center tapped XFMR does not

exist in library– Solutions:

• working with web resources and some books to model the part• Seek help from faculty

• High Current– Solutions:

• Circuit Protection• Ordering of extra parts

metisdel

List your concerns/issuesBe prepared to discuss some possible solutions and what you plan to do about itDo not include "Having enough time" or "project will work"; instead, focus on important problems

EE/CS 480 Fall 2007


Conclusions

• Project Plan 1.0 Approved• AIR-X put together• Plans:

– Design Review– Circuit Design– Order Parts

• Any Questions?

metisdel

Recap your main pointsProvide a sense of closureAsk the audience if "anyone has a question?"
