Digital Down-conversion (DDC)
What is a digital down-converter?
It’s a flexible processing block that allows an ADC to run at full rate while the output sample rate and bandwidth are optimized to match the signal under test.
− Digital signal processing
− Produces complex I&Q samplesfrom real ADC samples
− Frequency translation (tune)
− Filter and decimation (zoom)

Noise and other signals in the full ADC bandwidth are eliminated by the DDC, isolating the signal of interest, and increasing the dynamic range in the time-domain waveform through reduced total noise power.
Interest for your application: − Reduce the bandwidth and the sample rate to the appropriate values
for the signal being analyzed.− Setting the analysis bandwidth around the signal of interest, by shifting
the center frequency − Triggering on the signal of interest at a specified frequency and
bandwidth

AXIe: What and WhyAdvancedTCA (ATCA) Extensions for Instrumentation and Test
What is it?
− AXIe is a next-generation open standard based on AdvancedTCA® with extensions for instrumentation and test, that delivers high performance instrumentation for aerospace defense, high energy physics, semiconductor test and other industries.
− This standard is governed by the AXIe Consortium, a group of leading organizations in the test and measurement industry and is designed to provide users with popular PC interfaces such as TCP/IP and PCI Express to modular configuration slots which provide resources for advanced instrumentation (www.axiestandard.org).

SLL
-3dB HP BW
[1]: J. Ruze, “Pattern degradation of space fed phased arrays,” MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Project Rept. SBR-1, Dec. 1979.
−Phase and amplitude errors lead to an increase in side lobe levels (SLL)
− Large side lobes indicate a waste of beam forming power and cause interference
−Average side lobe level due to phase and amplitude errors (normalized to isotropic level and using λ/2 element spacing) [1]:
− ∅
−Where ∅is the phase error variance (radians) and is the fractional amplitude error variance
M9703A AXIe Digitizer Overview
Page 26
Growing Challenges in Phased Array Antenna
− Array Element Counts Increasing (need speed without loss of accuracy)
− Digital Moving Closer to the Antenna (may not have access to stimulus in analog form)
− Broadband Modulated Signals (not just pulsed)(need to generate and capture full-bandwidth signals)
− Multi-Function (need flexible measurement system, other typesof signal analysis such as modulation accuracy)
- Search, SAR, etc.- Communications

Measuring Relative Phase and Gain
Two Approaches
Narrow Band Approach - Swept or stepped tone- Narrowband receiver- Measure one freq at a time- Cross-channel computations in time
domain- Lower variance by integrating longer
(narrower RBW)
Broadband Approach- Broadband stimulus- Wideband receiver- Measure all frequencies
simultaneously- Compute cross-channel spectrum- Lower variance by averaging

Recent Resurgence in Passive Radar Interest The principle of passive radar has been known for a long time
- “See without being seen”: use third-party transmitters in the environment such as radio and television stations to detect objects, instead of own transmitter
