TDEMI G series

The new TDEMI G series

Posted on by Web Admin

In 2006, the inventors of reaHime FFT analysis for EMC applications presented a novel technology at the EMC Conference in Singapore, which has revolutionized the field of EMC measurement ever since. Measuring times for complex tasks were reduced from hours to only a few seconds. The new TDEMI G series was the first Instrument to reduce a 30 MHz – 1 GHz Quast-Peak measurement from 9 hours to 64 seconds. Advantages for customers and users were demons1rated in the test laboratory at the inauguration of the new EMC center of the VOE test institute in Offenbach in 2008.

After the TDEMI 1 G had garnered great success, its basic block diagrams and FFT measurement methodology from the user manual were approved and integrated as part of the CISPR 16-3, CISPR 16-2-1, CISPR 16-2-2 and CISPR 16-2-3 standard, the time has come to release a new redesigned TDEMI G series. based on the very latest ADC and FPGA technologie.

The new TDEMI G is a full-compliance receiver capable of performing measurements in the frequency ranges 30 MHz. 1 GHz. 3 GHz, 6 GHz, 9 GHz, 18 GHz, 26 GHz, 40 GHz and 44 GHz. The core models of the instrument feature both traditional and FFT-based measurement modes by default. HF performance and measurement dynamics were greatly Improved upon since the origiral TDEMI G series through replacement of old components with high-resolution ADCs and FPGAs. This allows devices of the new TDEMI G series to reach linear dynamic ranges of approx. 90 dB in the reaHime band.The use of powerful FPGAs enables high scan speeds for all TDEMI G-Series instruments in the basic configurations. allowing for short measurement durations of 1.S seconds for conducted EMC measurements and about 8 seconds for quasi-peak measurements from 30 MHz – 1 GHz. A spectrum analyzer equipped with traditional and FFT-based measurement modes is also available. The requirements for radio measurements supporting bandwidths up to 60 MHz, e.g. for the qualification of broadband radio signals. are also fulfilled with the core model of the instrument.

TThe new TDEMI G comes with a high-resolution capacitive touchscreen and connectors on the front which is ideally suited for both laboratory and outdoor use. The high-resolution display with projecied capacitive multi-touch ensures convenient and intuitllE operation.

Previously supported features such as vast reaf-lime bandwidth, state of the art HF performance along with the novel Hyper Overlapping technology are able to be extended into the THz range with external mixers by the new TDEMI G series.

TDEMI devices set new standards with their multi-channel APO measurement function and TDEMI devices set new standards with their multi-channel APO measurement function and disturbance rating capabilities disturbance rating capabilities

According to CISPR 1& 1-1, APD measurements are currently specified for the frequency range above 1 GHz. However, there is a growing demand to extend this functionality allowing for APD measurements to be performed even below 1GHz. APD measurements institute a means to determine statistical distribution for defined amplitude intervals, revealing the probability of exceeding a particular level.

The parallel architecture for signals processing utilized in TDEMI devices facilitate reducing APO measurement duration, which are typically quite time-consuming. The TDEMI ULTRA allows for APD measurements at every frequency poi n~ supporting bandwidths of up to 171.5 MHz The maximum APD measurement bandwidth for the TDEMI S series is 225MHz. The ability to measure at several thousand frequency points simultaneously significantly improves the performance of APO measurements establishing an efficient way of performing measurements across large frequency ranges for numerous applications.

Real time measurements such as pre-scanning with peak detector can be performed fully automated and at high measurement speeds with the EMl64k automation software. The procedure is reduced to just a few seconds due to the high measurement reliability. A complete characterization of the unit under test is attainable by recording the emissions at all frequency points across all angular positions. Points at which, for example the limit line for ISM devices is exceeded, can then be transferred to a marker ta ble. Both the exact position and the level are documented.

The TDEMI series devices are real-time receivers with wide ranging capabilities. EMC measurements in compliance with all common standards for radio measurements and digital demodulation of radio cha nnels are possible using these receivers. The recent feature extension adding APD measurement functionality to the TDEMI device family also operates in fu ll compliance with requirements laid out by its respective standards and for example enables automated EMC tests in accordance with CISPR 11.

Aim-TTi QPX Series

Posted on by Web Admin

Aim-TTi QPX Series Bench/System DC Power Supply with PowerFlex or PowerFlex+ regulation, Single or Dual Outputs up to 1200 watts, with/without Digital Remote Interfaces

QPX series laboratory power supplies are designed to provide flexibility in the choice of voltage and current so as to meet multiple diverse applications. Voltages up to 80V and currents up to 50A are available within a defined power envelope.

Unlike most power supplies of this power level, the QPX series is well suited to bench top applications in addition to system use.

POWERFLEX & POWERFLEX+

A conventional PSU has a fixed current limit giving a power capability that reduces directly with the output voltage. The Aim-TTi PowerFlex and PowerFlex+ regulation systems enable higher currents to be generated at lower voltages within an overall power limit envelope.

For PowerFlex+ models the output can provide more than six times the current of a conventional PSU of the same maximum voltage and power. For PowerFlex models the increase is three times

LOW RIPPLE AND NOISE

PowerFlex and PowerFlex+ use either a balanced multi-phase converter system or linear final regulation to minimise ripple and improve dynamic performance. This provides unusually low noise for thepower level coupled with good transient response

CURRENT METER AVERAGING

When measuring rapidly varying loads it can become difficult to get accurate readings from the current meter. By selecting meter averaging, the reading is stabilised by averaging the last four readings to reduce the speed and extent of the variation.

OVP AND OCP TRIPS

Variable trips for over-voltage and overcurrent are provided on each output. Unlike a limit setting, the trip setting turns the output off and provides a different level of protection.

For example, when repetitively testing a unit which normally takes a peak current of 10A, the current limit could be set to 11A and the OCP to 10.1A to ensure that a faulty unit will trip the supply off and not be damaged by over dissipation. The output trip can also be activated by other fault conditions including over temperature and remote sense mis-wiring. The cause of the trip is shown on the display.

Quantum computing will likely utilize numerous new technologies which operate at different cryogenic temperatures. For example, a quantum computer might deploy CMOS memory modules at 77K, superconducting control chips at 4K, and a quantum processing unit (QPU) at less than 20 mK. To develop and deploy these various subsystems and technologies, it is vital to reliably and efficiently test and measure them at or near their operating temperatures.

Wafer probing has been done for some time in waveguide at frequencies up to several hundreds of GHz. However solutions were typically limited by the constraints of large format extenders with large format positioners, which could limit the capabilities for over temperature work or RF performance.

Recent advances from Virginia Diodes Inc. and Formfactor, have allowed for solutions that allow optimal path lengths and the ability to isolate the extenders from elevated thermal temperatures while still also carrying out cold / dry / dark measurements.
