Study Notes
Types of Tests
- Modulation, Noise, and Distortion are key testing areas for evaluating performance in mobile and IoT techniques.
Overview of Time and Frequency Domains
- Represents measurements in amplitude through time and frequency domains.
- Time domain refers to the change of a signal over time, while frequency domain analyzes the signal frequency components.
Analyzers
- Fourier Analyzer: Utilizes parallel filters to measure signals simultaneously, providing full spectral display on LCD.
- Swept Analyzer: Filters sweep across a specified range, also displaying results on an LCD screen.
Spectrum Analyzer Operation
-
Block Diagram Components:
- RF input, attenuator, mixer, IF gain, IF filter, detector, and sweep generator.
- Mixer Function: Combines the incoming signal with a local oscillator (LO) to convert it into an intermediate frequency (IF) for further processing.
IF Filter
- Configured to filter the intermediate frequency signal, focusing on specific bandwidths for spectrum analysis.
Detector Mechanics
- Functions include positive detection (displays largest value), negative detection (displays smallest value), and sample detection (shows last value in bin).
Video Filter
- Serves to refine the output for better signal clarity in measurements.
Spectrum Analyzer Front Panel
- Primary functions include frequency, amplitude, and span adjustments, supported by softkeys and numeric keypads.
Specifications of Spectrum Analyzer 8563A
- Operates across a frequency range of 9 kHz to 26.5 GHz, ensuring accuracy in frequency and amplitude resolutions, sensitivity, distortion, and dynamic range.
Channel Coding Overview
- Essential for data compression; categorized into lossless (no data loss) and lossy compression (some fidelity loss acceptable).
Forward Error Correction (FEC)
- Adds redundancy for error detection and correction, classified into repetition coding, block coding, convolutional coding, and turbo coding.
Modulation Techniques
- Converts baseband signals to RF frequency.
- Divided into analog modulation (AM, FM, PM) and digital modulation (ASK, FSK, PSK).
Linear Block Coding
- Used for generating codewords from messages; error detection and correction capability assessed with minimum distance (dmin) related calculations.
Importance of Modulation
- Modulation provides necessary signal transformation for effective transmission, enhancing performance in various communication systems.
