RF
Signal Generation Made Easy
RF signals are becoming more and
more complex, making it more difficult for RF engineers to accurately
create the signals required for conformance and margin testing. To
address this design challenge, Tektronix’ RFXpress delivers advanced
RF/IF/IQ creation and editing tools. RFXpress is a software package
that digitally synthesizes modulated baseband, IF, and RF signals
taking signal generation to the new levels by fully exploiting the
wideband signal generation capabilities of Tektronix arbitrary waveform
generators (AWGs). Supporting a wide range of modulation schemes,
the software allows users to duplicate standard waveforms or customized
waveforms with specific modulation and frequency-hopping criteria.
In “Auto Mode”, the software can automatically calculate the waveform
length (in samples or symbols) and the sampling rate required to accurately
create the desired output from the arbitrary waveform generator. RFXpress
also includes a calibration feature that can pre-distort the signals
to provide flat frequency and linear phase response from the AWG output.
RFXpress enables users to easily replicate waveforms from Tektronix
oscilloscopes (*.wfm), and IQ waveforms of a real-time spectrum analyzer
(*.iqt, *.tiq). Impairments, distortion, or interference can then
be added to thoroughly stress-test designs.
SPARA is
a software module for RFXpress that provides emulation of RF components
from touchstone files. You can cascade multiple touchstone files to
emulate a RF chain. The effect of the RF component can also be de-embedded
by selecting the Inversion option. This option also adds a provision
to characterize a two-port device (DUT). A wizard guides you through
a step-by-step process to obtain S21 characteristics (Insertion loss)
of the device in a text format.
UWB-WiMedia (UWBCF/UWBCT) is
a software module for RFXpress that has the capability to digitally
synthesize and generate signals in the UWB spectrum. As per the latest
WiMedia specification, the software module can recreate signals that
are required to band hop in real time over 1.5 GHz modulation bandwidth.
UWBCF/UWBCT gives users complete control over the characteristics
of the WiMedia signal including the preamble synchronization sequences,
cover sequences, and TFCs in all band groups. All six band groups
(BG1 – BG6) can be generated in either IQ, IF, or Direct RF signals
giving users 3 different options for creating/up-converting the signals.
The software operates in two modes, in the conformance mode (UWBCF)
users can generate the standard waveforms that conform to the latest
version of the WiMedia’s specifications, in the custom mode (UWBCT)
users can adjust any part of the signal header or payload to perform
for stress and margin testing.
Radar Signal Creation is a software
module for RFXpress that provides the ultimate in flexibility for
creating Pulsed Radar waveforms. It gives users the ability to build
custom Radar Pulse suites starting from pulse-to-pulse trains to pulse
groups. It supports a variety of modulation schemes including LFM,
Barker and Polyphase Codes, User-defined codes, Step FM, Nonlinear
FM, User-defined Step FM, and Custom modulation. It also has the ability
to generate pulse trains with staggered PRI to resolve Range and Doppler
ambiguity, frequency hopping for Electronic Counter-Counter Measures
(ECCM), and pulse-to-pulse amplitude variation to simulate Swerling
target models, including antenna scan patterns and multipath effects.
RFXpress runs on a PC or as an integral part of Tektronix
AWG5000/AWG5000B and AWG7000/AWG7000B Series arbitrary waveform generators.
