1 Pulsed VNA Measurements: The Need to Null! January 21, 2004 presented by: Loren Betts Copyright 2004 Agilent Technologies, Inc.
2 Agenda Pulsed RF Devices Pulsed Signal Domains VNA Spectral Nulling Measurement Types/Hardware Configurations Comparisons with the 8510
3 Why Test Under Pulsed Conditions? CW test signals would destroy DUT High-power amplifiers not designed for continuous operation On-wafer devices often lack adequate heat sinking Test-power levels same as actual operation Measuring behavior within pulse is critical to characterizing system operation
4 Radar and Electronic-Warfare Biggest market for pulsed-rf testing Most applications 20 GHz Devices include Amplifiers T/R modules Up/Down converters
5 Pulsed Antenna Test About 30% of antenna test involves pulsed-rf stimulus Test individual antennas or complete systems Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurements often require gating to avoid overloading receiver
6 Wireless Communications Systems TDMA-based systems often use burst mode transmission to save battery power (only transmit during assigned time slot) Measurement example: GSM handset power amplifiers are tested under pulsed conditions Most wireless communications applications 6 GHz
7 On-Wafer Amplifier Test and Modeling Most applications are at microwave frequencies Devices lack adequate heatsinking for CW testing, so pulsed-rf used as a test technique to extract S- parameters Arbitrary, stable temperature (isothermal state) set by adjusting duty cycle Duty cycles are typically < 1% Often requires synchronization of pulsed bias and pulsed RF stimulus

9 Pulsed RF in Time Domain y( t) = ( rect ( t) x( t)) shah 1 ( t) pw prf rect pw (t) x(t) t -1/2pw 0 1/2pw *... n δ(t-n(1/prf)) -2/prf -1/prf 0 1/prf 2/prf /prf 0 1/prf... t To visualize the pulsed signal in time, we take a windowed version of the continuous signal and convolve it with a shah function which periodizes the windowed signal to create a train of pulses.
10 Pulsed RF in Frequency Domain Fourier transform of time signal: Y ( s) = ( pw sinc( pw s) X ( s)) ( prf shah( prf s)) Y ( s) = ( pw sinc( pw s)) ( prf shah( prf s)) pw = pulse width, prf = pulse repetition frequency The frequency spectrum of the pulsed RF is a sampled sinc function with sample points (signal present) equal to the pulse repetition frequency and nulls (no signal present) equal to the 1/(pulse width).
11 Pulsed RF Spectrum E+6-1.5E+6-1.0E+6-5.0E+5 0.0E+0 5.0E+5 1.0E+6 1.5E+6 2.0E+6 Nulls at 1/PW Pulsed Reponse (db) Frequency Offset (Hz)
12 Pulsed RF Spectrum - Zoom Wanted frequency component First spectral tone at 1.69 khz = PRF Pulsed Response (db) Frequency Offset (Hz)
13 Agenda Pulsed RF Devices Pulsed Signal Domains VNA Spectral Nulling Measurement Types/Hardware Configurations Comparisons with the 8510
14 VNA Spectral Nulling Introduction Extract central spectral component only; measurement to VNA appears CW Spectral Nulling" technique achieves wider bandwidths and faster measurements No lower limit to pulse width, but dynamic range is function of duty cycle IF filter Time domain Frequency domain IF filter
15 Common Filtering Spectrum 0 Filter Passband Response (db) Filter Transition Region First spectral tone at 1.69 khz = PRF Wanted frequency component Filter Stopband Frequency Offset (Hz)
16 PNA Digital Filter in Frequency Domain Response of 500 Hz IF Filter Filter nulls Filter Response (db) Frequency Offset (Hz)
17 PNA Spectral Nulling Response of 500 Hz Digital IF Filter and Pulsed Spectrum Response (db) Frequency Offset (Hz) Wanted frequency component Filtered frequency components Nulling occurs at every 3 rd null in this case A narrower IF bandwidth would skip more nulls Trade off dynamic range and speed by varying IF BW
18 PNA Spectral Nulling Response of 166 Hz Digital IF Filter and Pulsed Spectrum Response (db) Frequency Offset (Hz) Wanted frequency component Filtered frequency components Nulling occurs at every 9 th null in this case
19 Filtered Output using Spectral Nulling X x 10 4 Pulsed spectrum Digital filter (with nulls aligned with PRF) x 10 4 Output With custom filters, number of taps (M) can be chosen to align filter nulls with pulsed spectral components With spectral nulling, IF bandwidth can be much higher compared to conventional IF filtering In practice, may have to slightly adjust PRF (as well as IF filter) to achieve proper nulling, or choose a narrower IF bandwidth
20 Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Filter x(n) Incoming sampled signal t M = number of filter taps (sections) = minimum number of ADC samples required for one data point h(n) = tap weightings BW 1 M Z -1 Z -1 Z -1 Z -1 h(0) x h(1) x h(2) x h(3) + x + + h(m-2) x + Unit delay h(m-1) x + Example FIR topology Sample decimator M y(m) The VNA can move the placement of the filter nulls by modifying the number of filter taps(m). Complex filtered output t
21 Elimination of Additional Interfering Signals Spectral nulling eliminates main pulse spectrum plus other undesired signals: Spectral components can wrap around DC and fold back into pulse spectrum Harmonics of "video feed-through" (leakage of baseband modulation signal) due to RF modulator and IF gates Receiver sensitive to 1 st and 2 nd LO images Aliased spectral components Video feedthrough DC freq
