Using probes with a Spectrum Analyser

Using probes with a Spectrum Analyser

Using a Passive Oscilloscope Probe with a Spectrum Analyser Solution: Spectrum Analysers are typically used to measure radio frequency (RF) signals. The signals are usually delivered to the RF input of the analyser with an antenna, magnetic probe, or using a cable with a matched impedance. This minimises impedance mismatching which lowers reflected power and provides the cleanest measurement. T...

Keyless Entry System ASK/FSK Analysis

RIGOL Technologies extended the RF test system of DSA800 spectrum analyser with additional tests for passive key less entry systems. RIGOL’s test solution is very comfortable to use and much cheaper than other available test systems on the market. Passive keyless entry [PKE] communication is an electronic lock system mainly used to open cars or buildings without a mechanical key. This lock syst...

Converting DP800 Record *ROF Files

Reading Rigol DP800 Record (*.ROF) Files with Excel Solution: The Rigol DP800 series of power supplies have the option to data log the output voltage and current using the Record feature. This application note covers how to convert the binary file format native to the record file type (*ROF) to decimal using HxD (A hex-to-decimal software package) and the ReadDPROF file, a worksheet created ...

Active loads and the DP800, DP1000 series of Power Supplies

Active loads and the RIGOL DP800 and DP1000 Series 1. 1. Introduction The RIGOL DP800 series and DP1000 series are programmable linear DC power supplies. They can only provide power for a pure load that does not have the ability to output a current. Active loads, such as those that can provide power (batteries, solar cells, etc..), should not be used with the DP800 series or DP1000 series po...

Debug & Analysis of IoT Power Requirements

Power and Function The relationship between power and function in an Internet of Things (IoT) project is perhaps the most fundamental trade-off a design team needs to address; therefore, it must be made with definitive, testable goals from the customer’s perspective. Expert product development always begins with the an IoT development where the final product is a wrapper around the ‘big idea�...

SiFi Technology in Arb Wave Creation

Introduction to Waveform Generator Technology Traditional function and arbitrary waveform generators have for many years been built on one common technology – DDS or Direct Digital Synthesis. DDS allows an instrument to create waveforms by tracking the phase of a reference clock and outputting the closest sample to the desired signal at each output sample time. DDS has enabled quality performan...

Creating an arbitrary IQ Waveform using MatLAB and UltraIQ

Introduction The DSG3000 (DSG3000B) Series RF signal source (Figure 1) is designed for RF engineering and signal development and test up to 6 GHz. The instrument is also capable of a number of modulation formats. One of the more advanced capabilities is IQ modulation that is enabled with the DSG3000-IQ option. This option adds both a baseband generator and the ability to externally generate IQ mo...
