2 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
2.1 Functional description
The module Fuel Trak is designed to be installed on a Fuel Tank .
The module read level on the sensor every hour and memorize it.
After 12 hour (12 reading) the module transmit a radio data frame with the level history of the last 12 hours to à
C@llRider®. A C@llRider® is another part of the system that receive the data and then connect to internet and send
the data over the net to the servers.
2.2 Hardware specifications
2.2.1 Mechanical specifications
The electronic part is housed in a specific casing.

3 RF TRANSCEIVER
3.1 Protocole RF
The objective of the present chapter is to describe the 915MHz low level protocole used for the Fuel Trak project. The
restrictions are:
• FCC part 15
• Low power consumption
• MSP430 family
• ATMEL Transceiver
• Range 915 -> 921.3 Mhz

3.1.1 Presentation
At the physical level, the standard imposes an even radio power density distribution on the spectrum. The Frequency
hope spread spectrum (FHSS) scheme was retained to achieve it.
The FHSS principal is:
Transmitting on one frequency for a certain time, then pseudo-randomly jumping to another, and transmitting again.
Also, the FHSS could counter-act interference by using different carrier frequency at different time. It's carrier will hop
around within the band so that hopefully it will avoid the jammer at some frequencies.
To synchronize the transmission and reception frequency, in order to prevent lost data, a sync word has been
inserted. Also, to assure completion of all the data, an algorithm of data interleaving and data correction have been
implemented.

3.1.3 Layer description
3.1.3.1 Physical layer
The physical layer assures the following:
• Modulation
• Manchester coding (average energy)
• Frequency hope
• Synchronization
• Compensation of frequency shift due to T° and aging
3.1.3.1.1 Frame structure
The frame is composed of 2 successive “sub-frame” of fixed length:
1/ Beacon sub-frame
The beacon sub-frame is composed of 64 bursts. Each burst consists of 48 chips (24bits). And for
each burst, there’s a frequency hope Î 64 bursts for 64 frequencies.
The beacon burst is composed of a preamble and a long sync word
2/ Data sub-frame
The data sub-frame is composed of 64 bursts. Each burst consists of 48 chips (24bits). And for
each burst, there’s a frequency hope Î 64 bursts for 64 frequencies.
The data burst is composed of a preamble, short sync word and 16 bits of data.

3.2 Software specifications
Figure 5 : Software bloc
The principle of the software is to read the sensor every hour and to memorize the value. After 12 hours, the module
activate the radio to send a data frame with the last 12 hours inside. After the system return to sleep for one hour
waiting the time for the next measure.
