Fig. 2 is a frequency domain plot of the rf output of the spectrometer of an embodiment of the present invention.
Detailed Description
The invention is further described with reference to the following figures and detailed description.
in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the time domain characteristic evaluation method of the rf device according to the present invention uses a system composition as shown in fig. 1, which includes:
an arbitrary waveform generator Agilent 33250A, configured to generate a control signal for the radio frequency device, where, for example, when the control signal jumps from a low level to a high level, the radio frequency device enters a transmission mode from an idle state;
The signal generator SMBV200A or Keysight E4438C is used for outputting a radio frequency carrier to the input end of the device to be tested;
A frequency spectrograph: the method is used for observing the frequency domain characteristics of the output signals after the output signals pass through the device to be tested.
the time domain characteristic evaluation method of the radio frequency device comprises the following specific operation steps:
First, system initial state setup
1.1, setting of an arbitrary waveform generator:
Sending 500Hz square wave to simulate a receiving/sending control signal to a device to be tested, wherein the logic of the device is set to be 3.3V for high level; the low level is set to 0V and the duty cycle is 50%.
1.2, setting a signal source:
The signal source outputs a single tone signal, i.e., a carrier signal that has not been modulated.
1.3 setting of frequency spectrograph:
the frequency spectrograph adopts an external trigger mechanism, namely, the synchronous signal output of an arbitrary waveform generator is used as a trigger input signal of the frequency spectrograph; the central frequency points are set to be 2.585GHz, span 0Hz, RBW 8MHz and VBW 10MHz for example.
And secondly, the signal source output is turned on, and the spectrum analyzer captures the envelope jump of the radio frequency signal from the bottom noise to the full power after receiving the trigger signal.
As shown in fig. 2, the mark point 3 in the result displayed by the spectrometer represents the energy full power point; marker point 2 represents a state of 0.1dB power back-off (97.7% rf energy) and marker point 4 represents a state of 0.4dB power back-off (90% rf energy). Thus, the time from marker point 1 to marker point 4 represents the switching time of the radio frequency energy from 10% - > 90%.
By comparing the time with the identifier in the device specification, it is determined whether the timing sequence of the device meets the nominal requirement, for example, if the nominal 10% -90% of the specification is switched to be less than 3 microseconds but the actual measurement result is 5 microseconds, it can be determined that the timing sequence characteristic of the tested radio frequency device cannot meet the requirement of the specification.
Similarly, it is also possible to test whether the timing of the device from the active state to the idle state meets the requirements of the specification.
The foregoing detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention has been presented. It should be understood that numerous modifications and variations could be devised by those skilled in the art in light of the present teachings without departing from the inventive concepts. Therefore, the technical solutions available to those skilled in the art through logic analysis, reasoning and limited experiments based on the prior art according to the concept of the present invention should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
