1 Analyze Agile or Elusive Signals Using Real-time Measurement and Triggering
2 This Presentation Agile & Elusive Signals Discovering Signals vs. Troubleshooting, Optimizing Case Studies Dynamic signal environment-ism band Radar signal Choosing & Using Techniques & Tools Make the most of what you already know & own Swept spectrum analyzers Vector signal analyzers/vsa software Oscilloscopes Real time analyzers Using Triggering to Enhance Measurement Effectiveness 2
3 Case Study #1: 2.45 GHz ISM Band 100 MHz Wide Spread Spectrum Techniques Lightly Regulated, Signals Not Explicitly Coordinated WLAN (typically dominant occupant), Bluetooth, Cordless Phones And 1 kw+ microwave ovens! And almost anything else! Very Dynamic Content not known at any specific point in time Often very low occupancy Lots of Collision Tolerance Needed Potential Cliff Effect at Some Degree of Crowding 3
4 ISM Band View: Swept Spectrum Analysis Single Sweep (fast but retrace not as fast) Peak Hold (short) Band: 100 MHz Span: 160 MHz Dynamics X2 (swept RBW & changing signals) Confuse the View Peak Hold Detects Signals but Frequency Overlap Obscures Signals Typically Short Duty Cycle, Total Low Occupancy POI is Approximately Low (useful concept even if not strictly applicable) Peak Hold (long) 4
5 ISM Band View: Real Time Analyzer Density or Histogram Display Gap-Free Analysis No Signals Missed Density Display Shows Signals Inside Signals Fast, Full Display Update Rate Shows Signal Dynamics See Unexpected Behavior, Even If Infrequent Individual Display Updates Combine Thousands of Spectra 5
6 ISM Band View: Real Time Analyzer Spectrogram Display Top Trace is Latest or Selected Spectrum Same Spectral Data as Density/Histogram Individual Spectrogram Line Represents Many Spectra (typically thousands) View into Dynamics, Timing Acquisition Time Setting Affects Way Spectra are Combined to Form Display Update WLAN Signals Active Continuously? What are Vertical Bars? A Multitone Signal? 6
7 Spectrogram Display Adjusting Acquisition Time Shorter Acquisition Time Determines Amount of Data Processed for Spectrum or Spectrogram Trace Update Each Trace Update & Spectrogram Line Represents Fewer Spectra More Trace Updates/Second, Finer Time Resolution Spectrogram Covers Shorter Interval Determines Time Scale of Spectrogram Use Spectrogram Trace Buffer to Examine Signal Dynamics 7
8 Characteristics of the Real Time Analyzer Density View Fast Display Updates, High Data Density Easily Understand Signal or Event Frequency Find Very Infrequent Events Find Unexpected Events, Behavior Limitations Combining traces combines behavior from different times Limited flexibility (RBW, span combinations) Limited frequency span Power spectrum only Markers only on combined spectrum or density at a point 8
9 What is Real Time Analysis? Understanding Real Time Analyzers and Real Time Analysis General Definition of Real Time Measurement operations where all signal samples are used in calculating measurement results of some kind (usually spectrum) Real Time Bandwidth (RTBW) The widest analysis bandwidth where an analyzer can maintain real time operation Duration of maintaining real time operation is not specified; it may assumed to be short term or long term or unlimited Current Usage for Signal Analyzers A spectrum or FFT analyzer having a signal processing path where most or all samples, even at wide bandwidths, are used to create a spectral display or to trigger signal measurement or acquisition (sometimes both) 9
10 Real Time Operation In Real Time Operation the Analyzer s Processing (CALC) is Fast Enough to Keep Up with All Data Samples However some data may still be lost CALC Time Includes FFT or Power Spectrum, Averaging, Display Updates, etc. 10
11 Overlap Processing If Processing is Faster than Sampling, Perform Additional FFTs With Partially-New Time Records as Samples Come In Overlap 0% Overlap 50% Processor Idle Window Function Avoid Loss of Data Due to Windowing Accurate Amplitude Measurements of Short Duration Signals 11
12 What is a Real Time Analyzer? Specific Analyzer Type vs. Analysis Characteristic In this context it means several or all of the following things: Gap free: no dead time between acquisitions; all sampled data is processed; process is continuous Consistent measurement & display update speed: all hardware implementation of FFT spectrum generation and not subject to Windows task interruptions High speed measurements: many thousands of FFT generated spectra per second, vastly exceeding software FFT speed High speed and/or data-dense displays: combine large numbers of measurements to form responsive, insight-producing displays Spectral trigger or frequency mask trigger (FMT) Definitions vary, what is real time analysis for you? 12
13 Probability of Intercept (POI) Treated Informally Here Finding signals important to you, expected or unexpected Reasonable effort and time to discovery Signals found can be measured as necessary Knowledge of signals may be perfect or simply adequate A More Rigorous Treatment in Paper From Richard Overdorf Understanding Probability of Intercept for Intermittent Signals Evaluate These Techniques Against Your Requirements 13
14 Frequency Mask Trigger (FMT) Trigger Based on In-Band Power (scalar) Spectrum Spectral Mask Evaluation, High/Low Limits, Logic Trigger Generated from High Speed FFT Engine Trigger Timing Resolution: 1/FFT Period Trigger Not Time-Aligned Trigger a Single Spectrum Measurement or Time Capture (VSA), etc. 14
15 Vector Signal Analysis: The Logical Extension and Complement to a Real Time Analyzer Superheterodyne Downconversion to All-Digital IF Adaptable to swept spectrum analysis and real time analyzer Full vector data preserved Measurements Short/Long Data Block Vector, Demodulation Capture Memory 15
16 VSA Spectrum of ISM Band Signals Initial Measurement Not Much More Informative FFT Avoids Problem of Moving Analysis Aperture (RBW filter) 16
17 VSA Spectrum of ISM Band Signals Long Time Record (100,000 points) Much More Informative Higher POI Spectrum Magnitude or RF Envelope Color Persistence Spectrum 17
18 VSA Spectrum of ISM Band Signals Long Time Record & Enhanced Displays Not Real Time with Live Measurements Is Real Time Plus Overlap with Time Capture and Playback Separating History (frequency of occurrence) and Recency Select Segment/Region to Analyze from Time Capture buffer Many Spectra Combined Cumulative History Digital Persistence 18
19 Improving POI with FFT Analyzers Several Steps for Dramatic Improvement Use Much Longer Time Records (25,000 points or more) Time record length goes up faster than FFT speed goes down Narrow Frequency Span to the Minimum Needed Time record is longer (in time) for given number of points Use IF Magnitude Trigger, Pre/Post Delays, Holdoff Avoid measuring when no signal present in span Use Persistence or Density/History Displays Typically persistence, to make peaks last long enough to be noticed Peak Hold Result: POI Dramatically Improved, Though may not be Near 100% 19
20 Triggering in VSAs and Real Time Analyzers IF Magnitude & Frequency Mask Triggers Triggered Individual Measurements or Signal Captures Sqrt (I 2 + Q 2 ) of each sample, is easier & faster (VSAs) FFT power Spectrum is slower but more selective (RTSAs) VSA now does both Measurements Short/Long Data Block Vector, Demodulation Capture Memory IF Mag or Freq Mask Trig 20
21 VSA Attributes for Detailed, Flexible Analysis The Next Steps After Finding a Signal Detailed Signal Analysis, Including Vector, Demodulation Time Capture, Playback Connection to Many Signal Analzyer Front-Ends Signal analyzers Oscilloscopes Digitizers Multi-Channel Analysis, Including Channel Time Alignment Including multi-channel capture & analysis Beam-forming, MIMO, space-time coding Multi-Band Analysis, Multi-Measurements Excellent Complement to Single-Channel RTSA 21
