2. Progress Summary Completed and turned in the first report
Built the circuit for the regular design of the transceiver module
Tested the receiver and transmitter
Started to solder in the parts for the aggressive design

3. Completed Transceiver Board

4. Oops!! might have blown up the PD!!
Got confused between the cathode and the anode
Grounded the cathode pin of the photodetector
Remedy: scratched off the connection between ground and cathode pin, reversed the PD on the board

5. Maybe not!
PRBS7
K28.5

6. Transmitter Test Results

7. However…
When constructing the board initially, we soldered in the common cathode VCSEL with the anode going to ground.
After we fixed this, no signal was transmitting

8. Gantt Chart

9. Upcoming Tasks
Continue with the testing
