Hi,
In a lap timer system I thought of equipping cars/boats/drones with IR LEDs, PWModulated at 30, 33, 36, 38, 40 and 56 kHz to match Vishay TSOP22.., TSOP24.., TSOP48.. and TSOP44.. series IR receiver modules. So a maximum of six contenders. At the start-/finish line I have the TSOP receivers, and the receiver that is triggered will tell which vehicle passed.
Is the separation of 2-3kHz between the modules enough to not cause multiple triggering from one contender (triggering modules on neighboring frequencies)?
From the datasheet of the modules I can see this:
If I understand this correctly, if I for example divide 36kHz by 38kHz I get 0.947, which is about 0.7 relative responsivity. But at which relative responsivity will I have no false triggering from neighboring "channels"?
Are these modules designed to co-exist without interference from each others remotes?
