Reference Designs

Jim Pearce, Pegasus Technologies' President, has designed a wide variety of electronic products over his 30+ years of professional experience. Some of the more recent or significant designs are listed below. NOTE: Some of these designs are available for tailoring and use in your own electronic products, saving you money and development time!

The PTSS2003 RF Transceivers, small, low-power FCC, Canadian, and ETSI tested or certified transceiver modules in a several frequencies and variations.

This transceiver, which was developed by Pegasus Technologies, can be used as is or tailored for use in a wide variety of electronic products. This module will add a reliable, high quality RF link to your product while saving you development time. A successor product to this module is now in development, and we are not taking on new customers for the PTSS2003 at this time. For more information on the timing and capabilities of the successor module, please call Jim at (865) 717-9339.

2.4 GhZ Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Digital Audio System

This system uses Intersil components and a Xilinx FPGA to produce a high-quality stereo audio broadcast system. Technical challenges include the need for a low-cost, small-size receiver package and a transmitter that incorporates an innovative proprietary sound enhancement technique.

Multi-channel, multi-location receiving system for scientific wildlife tracking

This system employs multiple antenna processors which encode the incoming signals and put them onto a trunk line for further processing at the researcher's PC. As a follow-on project, also reworked the client's design for an underwater amplifier used in the same system to enhance reliability and performance.

RF SmartSensor

Our President, Jim Pearce, served as lead engineer and chief architect for this machine monitoring system. This system uses a 2.4GhZ Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum data link for communicating machinery status. The design eliminates costly wiring and simplifies monitoring in hard-to-reach locations and extreme environments. The system incorporates a transceiver that supports multiple sensors, each of which is a self-contained machinery vibration and temperature monitoring system. These units perform vibration and temperature analysis and relay results back to the user via the transceiver. Jim Pearce holds two patents on innovative technology used in this system, which has won the following design awards:

Silver Award winner in Plant Service's Magazine's Product of the Year contest, February 2000;
Gold Award Winner in Plant Engineering Magazine's annual Product of the Year contest in the category of Power Transmission Equipment, November 1999
Best Overall Industry Contribution award, National Manufacturing Week conference in Chicago, March 1999
Best New Product Showcase award, National Plant Engineering and Management Show and Conference, March 1999.

SmartMeter

This hand-held FFT-based spectrum analyzer was the first machine monitoring tool to use removable memory cards. This innovative design was named as the 1988 Product of the Year at the National Plant Engineering and Maintenance conference. While this is not a recent product, we mention it here to demonstrate Jim's longstanding reputation for smart solutions.
