FREQUENCY RESPONSE ANALYZER
DESCRIPTION:
Digilogic Frequency Response Analyzer is the quantitative measure of
the output spectrum of a system or device in response to a stimulus,
and is used to characterize the dynamics of the system. It is a measure
of magnitude and phase of the output as a function of frequency, in
comparison to the input. In simplest terms, if a sine wave is injected
into a system at a given frequency, a liner system will respond at that
same frequency with a certain magnitude and a certain phase angle
relative to the input.

SYSTEM VIEW

Frequency response measurements compute the frequency response


function (FRF) of the device under test (DUT) by comparing a
stimulus signal and a response signal.The FRF expresses the complex
ratio of output-to-input in the frequency domain and fully
characterizes linear, time-invariant systems.The magnitude and phase
of the FRF characterize the frequency response. The magnitude is
equivalent to the gain, or amplitude ratio, expressed as a function of
frequency.The phase is equivalent to the relative delay, or phase shift,
FRONT VIEW of each frequency component through the DUT.

Frequency response computes the transfer function of the response


signal to the stimulus signal.You usually use the coherence to validate
the frequency response results.The coherence quantifies the portion
of the response signal that is linearly dependent on, or coherent with,
the stimulus signal. The coherence ranges from 0 to 1. A coherence
value of 1 indicates a perfect coherence.

Use the complex FRF, either real and imaginary parts or magnitude
REAR VIEW
and phase components, to characterize the dynamic response of the
DUT. Use the magnitude curve of the FRF to indicate the amplitude
accuracy of the DUT.When the DUT reproduces the stimulus signal
with no attenuation of any particular frequency band, the DUT has a
flat magnitude curve.
Performing FRF measurements requires a signal source.Valid
stimulus signals are pure tones, frequency sweeps, and broadband
signals.

RAPID CONTROL PROTOTYPING
Rapid control prototyping (RCP) is the process of calibrating control algorithms on prototype hardware to
get a device under test up and running before a production-intent electronic control unit is available. RCP
platforms typically provide a method to import mathematical models and run them on a controller with a
real-time OS connected to real-world I/O.

With the LabVIEW FPGA Module and reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware, we can deliver an intuitive and off-
the-shelf solution for incorporating the flexibility of FPGA technology into measurement and control
systems. Using LabVIEW graphical programming, you can define the logic in FPGA chips that are embedded
across the family of NI Reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware targets without knowledge of low-level hardware
description languages (HDLs), such as VHDL or Verilog, or board-level hardware design. Additionally,
LabVIEW allows you to easily integrate image acquisition/analysis, motion control, and industrial
communication, such as CAN and RS232. Applications ideal for LabVIEW FPGA are applications that often
require custom-built hardware; these applications include: flexible encoder inputs, PWM signal I/O, ultra
high-speed control, custom counter implementation, digital protocol emulation, discrete control, and
custom mix of analog and digital I/O within a single device.

Modular Rugged COTS Chassis :
Modular Rugged COTS Chassis combines the benefits of PXI(e) platform with ruggedized design.
With the DSPL MIL Standard Modular Rugged COTS Chassis, you are no longer tied to the lab with your
PXI(e) applications.This all-metal industrial and military standard system provides a highly robust enclosure
to protect sensitive measurement modules to withstand harsh environmental conditions and demanding
applications.

Why Modular Rugged Chassis?


PXIe based systems with COTS products have been successfully used in various Test &
Measurement solutions for laboratory environments.With the recent growth of FPGA based RF products in
PXIe platform, many organizations have already started building various RF Systems using the PXIe platform.

This approach again gets limited to laboratory environments usage due to the environmental
specifications of PXIe products. But when the same systems need to be used for deployment in fields, these
COTS based systems are not meeting the required specifications. This result in users wanting to chose a
platform other than PXIe platform for their deployable systems.

To ensure the usage of the PXIe COTS based systems for deployments in field applications, we
designed and developed a Modular Rugged Chassis with NI PXIe products forming the heart of our systems'
design.

The Modular Rugged COTS Chassis offers a full range of features and options including an
innovative forced-air cooling system controlled by built-in temperature sensors.This cooling configuration
provides optimum cooling for the chassis regardless of the type or number of instruments used. Additional
cooling is provided for the system power supply.The chassis has an integrated heater for allowing the system
to run at Low Temperature conditions. The DSPL MIL Standard PXI(e) system can also be remotely
controlled via Ethernet by any external device

System Design :
Ÿ We designed our Modular Rugged Chassis with the following components:
Ÿ NI PXIe 1075, 18 Slot PXIe backplane
Ÿ Power Supply for the PXIe backplane
Ÿ Various Electronic Components like Air Inlet Fans,Air Outlet Fans,AC Line Filters,Temperature Sensors,
Heaters (for low temperature operation)
Ÿ PXIe controller & PXIe IO Modules (based on application needs)

We utilized Forced Air Cooling method for thermal management within our Modular Rugged
Chassis.The air flow in our system is from Front to Rear.All the Inputs & Outputs from various PXIe modules
will be terminated into standard Series-III MIL Circular Connectors fitted in a Connector Plate on both front
& rear side of the system.The type and no of connectors on this Connector Plate can be configured based on
the PXIe configuration to be used.

Features of Modular Rugged Chassis :


We manufactured our first Modular Rugged Chassis & integrated it with a NI PXIe 8135 controller, NI PXIe
5667 RFSA module, NI FlexRIO 7966R FlexRIO FPGA module & NI 8260 RAID with SSD. In this system, we
ported our Spectrum Monitoring System application developed using LabVIEW & LabVIEW FPGA. We
subjected this Modular Rugged Chassis system to various harsh environmental tests like operating it at -20
°C for 16 hrs, at +55 °C for 16 hrs, Vibration & Shock. The system successfully passed all the tests it was
subjected to.

Based on the success of this design, we are able to generate interest for our Modular Rugged System with
which already two such systems have been delivered to customers and are in field usage presently.

The DSPL MIL Standard PXI(e) System is designed with maintainability in mind by reducing the mean time to
repair & replace. The assembly is very modular with removable power supply, fan assembly and filter tray,
which simplifies on-site diagnostics and replacement of any failed components.
