Design of a radio telemetry solar radiation sensor using solar cell

Solar radiation sensor is a device that is used to measure solar radiation in W/m^2. Determining the solar radiation and its interaction with the atmosphere and the earth's surface is important because atmospheric circulation is driven by solar radiation. Moreover, solar radiation accounts for...

The short circuit current of the solar cell is directly proportional to the energy incident on the solar cell or the solar radiation. The solar cell is used as input and the photocurrent circuit converts the current to voltage. Then signal conditioning needs to be designed so that it can amplify the voltage from the photocurrent circuit which produces a voltage in a more easily usable range. Next, a voltage-to-frequency converter is assembled that can convert measured variable information voltage from the signal conditioning into a variable frequency. Afterward, an FM Transmitter circuit is constructed that can transmit frequency to an FM radio. The output of the FM radio is analyzed and simulated using LabVIEW.
