3 Motivation for Pulsed Measurements Typical Applications Avoid destruction of DUT due to thermal effects Power amplifiers not designed for continuous operation Lack of heat sinking (e.g. on wafer components) Measure under real conditions with wireless communications For example. GSM power amplifiers under burst conditions Burst mode of TDMA systems and components Requirements for Radar and Antenna Measurements Active array antennas operate in pulsed mode Scattered pulse incorporates information 4
4 Motivation for Pulsed Measurements Typical Measurements Output power versus frequency and power S-Parameter versus frequency and power Typically S11 and S21 Occasionally S12 and S21 also required Pulse profile versus time at a fixed frequency Power and S21 versus time 5
5 Fundamentals of Pulsed Measurements What is a RF-Pulse in Time Domain x = A RF pulse is a multiplication of a rectangular pulse with a CW-RF signal 6
6 Fundamentals of Pulsed Measurements The Spectrum of a RF-Pulse PRF := Pulse Repetition Frequency 7
7 Fundamentals of Pulsed Measurements What is a RF-Pulse in Frequency Domain Multiplication in time domain = convolution in frequency domain A A A t t t A x A = A f f c f f c f spectrum of pulse is shifted by frequency of CW signal 8
8 Fundamentals of Pulsed Measurements Types of Pulsed Measurements NWA s data acquisition time/point > pulse width Measurement during several pulses narrow bandwidth technique (Average) Measurement verses power or frequency NWA s data acquisition time/point < pulse width one data point during one pulse wide bandwidth technique (point in pulse) Measurement verses power of frequency NWA s data acquisition time/point << pulse width several data points during one pulse pulse profile technique Measurement of pulse verses time settling time settling time Measurement time / point Measurement time / point data points Measurement time / point time time time 9

15 Point in Pulse Measurements Frequency or power swept measurements Measurement at different frequencies or power levels in different pulses (point trigger mode with trigger delay τ) Each point represents a different frequency or power A t f 1 f 2 f 3 f 4 f 5 t τ f 1 f 2 f 3 f 4 f 5 16
16 Point in Pulse Measurements Measurement during one pulse data sampling happens during the pulse ON state sampling time 1/IFBw 1 / IFBW < t on => IFBW > 1/ t on (pulse length) maximum IF bandwidth limits the minimum pulse length ZVR: 35 µs (26 khz) ZVB: 3 µs (500 khz) ZVA/T: 1,8 µs (1 MHz) ZVA/T: 0.4 µs (5 MHz) with ZVA-K17 option settling time Measurement time / point time (times are typical pure data acquisition time w/o any data processing time) e.g. CW-sweep, triggered synchronization 17
17 Point in Pulse Measurements Point in Pulse Measurements with ZVA-K17 ZVA-K17 For Point in Pulse measurement with pulse width < 430 ns (230 ns) IF bandwidth 5 MHz (10 MHz unspecified) CW sweep (kind of pulse profile) with resolution of 1,9 us (1,6 us) 18
18 Point in Pulse Measurements Time per Point The Limitation settling time data sampling data processing transfer of instr. data freq. settling pow. settling Time per Point: Frequency Sweep: 1µs + 4µs + (3µs...15µs) + (1 2) / IF Bw + 2µs CW Sweep: (1 2) / IF Bw + 1,5µs 19
19 Point in Pulse Measurements Limitations for Pulse Profile Measurements Resolution limited by time for data sampling and data processing Sampling 1 MHz IFBw 1,8 µs Sampling 5 MHz IFBw 400 ns (ZVA-K17) Data processing time 1,5 us (CW Sweep) Time resolution = sampling time + processing time > 1,9 us (5 MHz IFBw) 20
20 Pulse Profile Measurements Narrowband Solution Chopping the pulse at different positions with floating pulse delay Average pulse measurement of the chopped pulses provides magnitude and phase information for the chopped section Pulse profile has to be reconstructed pulse envelope chopped pulse floating delay t measurement time (1/IFBW) 21
21 Pulse Profile Measurements Narrowband Solution Time consuming setup Change of pulse shape requires recalibration Requires a periodical, stable pulse signal No real time measurement Low dynamic range for low duty cycles 22
22 Pulse Profile Measurements Rohde & Schwarz Solution: SSRAM Mode 23
23 Pulse Profile Measurements Rohde & Schwarz Solution: SSRAM Mode Sampling data of all wave quantities are stored without filtering into a dedicated memory Sampling rate = 12,5 ns (system clock of 80 MHz) At the end of data recording, digital signal processing e.g. filtering is performed not by the DSP but by the software offline Advantages: No delay by processing time between sampling of to data points No limitations for suitable IF filter 24

25 Pulse Profile Measurements Features of SSRAM Mode Memory of 256 kb 256*1024*12,5ns = 3,2768 ms 3,2 ms of total recording time for S-parameters Trigger event sets t = 0 Continious recording of data Behaviour before trigger event can be analysed Fast display repetition rate for pulse profile => Tuning possible 26
26 Pulse Profile Measurements The Bandwidth Does not define the resolution Resolution always 12,5 ns (sampling rate of ZVA) Defines: Rise time ( 1/IFBw) Maximum ripple frequency on the pulse roof Comparable with the bandwidth of an oscilloscope The Pulse Profile mode works similar as an oscilloscope with a time resolution of 12 ns and a bandwidth of e.g. 30 MHz 27
27 Pulse Profile Measurements The IF Filters for Pulse Profile 1MHz, 2 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, 20 MHz, 30 MHz lower bandwidths not necessary, as normal time or CW sweep can be used slight overshoot of pulse response 10 MHz, 15 MHz no overshoot 20 MHz < 3% 30 MHz < 10% May lead to small error for output power measurement Completely compensated for ratio measurements as b2/a1 or S-parameters because of rationing 28
