1) AFE (analog front end) signal condition
AFE (analog front end) comprises signal attenuation, impedance conversion, the program control amplification of signal and signal attenuation four parts.Passive network is adopted in signal attenuation, is essentially a kind of balanced bridge.Lower frequency shows as the electric resistance partial pressure decay, shows as the decay of reactance dividing potential drop in the time of high frequency, can realize the signal attenuation in the big frequency band range.
Because the sending-end impedance of tested low-voltage power line is lower, in order to reduce of the influence of signals sampling part, reduce the distortion factor of signal to input signal, need carry out impedance conversion, improve the impedance of input.This analysis instrument adopts J-FET type operational amplifier to realize the conversion of impedance.When signal was more weak, signal demand amplified.

Spectrum analysis is made up of functional circuits such as signal condition, local oscillation signal source, mixing and I/Q modulation, AD samplings, and its schematic diagram as shown in Figure 4.
In order to realize than the spectrum analysis in the great dynamic range, must carry out the mixing down-converted to measured signal, and carry out the I/Q modulation, carry out the AD sampling behind the signal experience ripple of modulation back, send into processor then and handle.Change by local oscillation signal being carried out frequency sweep mode, can realize the spectrum analysis of high bandwidth.Do the FFT conversion after will sampling through the signal of intermediate frequency filtering simultaneously, can realize the spectrum analysis of the high frequency resolution of signal in the arrowband scope.
The advantage of comprehensive spectrum analysis of this analysis instrument and frequency sweep spectrum analysis adopts the mixed type spectrum analysis, and its schematic diagram as shown in Figure 4.The zero intermediate frequency mixing is adopted in the frequency sweep spectrum analysis, and local oscillation signal adopts the 10MHz intermediate-freuqncy signal, and the I/Q modulator is made up of 90-degree phase shifter, two frequency mixers, filters.If requiring frequency resolution is in the 100Hz, can directly carry out the FFT spectrum analysis to the signal that is lower than 100kHz.The pass of frequency resolution and signal bandwidth is: f=F/N, and wherein f is a frequency resolution, and F is the signal sampling frequency, and N is a sampling number.For the processor that this programme is selected for use, N is 1024 to the maximum.
1. signal amplifies and gain controlling

Frequency mixer (with which is corresponding in the accompanying drawing) (or claiming frequency converter or multiplier) is to be used for the circuit unit of signal from certain band shifting to another frequency range.The local oscillation signal of a signal and a higher level is input to frequency mixer simultaneously, and it is the medium-frequency IF signal that frequency mixer is exported required sideband signals.The output frequency of frequency mixer comprises two main sideband: IF=LO ± RF (LO: local frequency); This programme frequency mixer adopts AD8333, and inside comprises binary channels quadrature (I/Q) demodulator and phase shifter, produces that two amplitudes equate, the intermediate frequency of quadrature in phase is exported.Sending into ADC after the two-way i/q signal of AD8333 output amplifies through operational amplifier samples.
3. test ripple
Wave detector is a circuit of passing judgment on the input power size.The output voltage of testing wave circuit change can reflected input signal power variation, that adopt here is logarithmic amplifier AD8307.AD8307 is a 500MHz demodulating logarithmic amplifier based on continuous compress technique, and the dynamic range of 92dB can be provided, even still can provide the 88dB dynamic range under up to the frequency of 100MHz, its error is ± 1dB.Utilize the great dynamic range of AD8307 can detect the small-signal of 56 μ V and the large-signal of 2.2V.Signal adopts single-ended input, and during operate as normal, logarithm is-84dBm that slope is about 20mV/dB zero point.

The impedance measurement actual measurement be the reflection coefficient of one port network, the amplitude by measuring reflected wave and incident wave signal is than the impedance that just can draw current network.After a step pulse is added to test line, will produce reflection at the impedance discontinuity point.Its principle as shown in Figure 5.Known source impedance Z0 then just can calculate the size of measured point impedance according to reflection coefficient S21.
Reflection coefficient S21=R/T.Wherein: R is a reflex amplitude, and T is the incident wave amplitude.
Can get network impedance ZDUT:ZDUT=Z0/* (1+S21)/(1-S21) thus.
