In Pratham, a specific Beacon board was designed. The signal of frequency 145.980 MHz, was generated using the Quartz crystal. The signal frequency is allotted by International Amateaur Radio Union (IARU). The implementation of the OOK modulation for the Morse code is achieved by toggling the Power Amplifier ON and OFF.
