How to do carrier phase measurement of any RF signal and Phase Noise measurement of any RF signal?

Hello,
Can any one give some idea to do carrier phase measurement and Phase Noise measurement of any RF signal?
Regards,
Vijay

Vijay,
A great example for measuring RF phase noise can be found in the LabVIEW Example Finder. The name of the VI is "MT RFSA Phase Noise.vi" This example performs phase noise density measurements on I-Q data acquired using RFSA. You may also want to take a look at Performing Modulation Measurements on Real-World IQ Data With Carrier Frequency Drift to see if phase measurement could be implemented: http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=EEAFD63A09CD3B79E0340003BA7CCD71&p_node=200054&p_source=External
What type of RF signal would you be analyzing? Are you trying to measure phase shift of a carrier frequency that is varying with time?

  • How do I measure the period of one TTL signal and the delay until a second TTL signal?

    Hi,
    I have a PCI 6024E board, the SCB-68 terminal box and am running LabView 6.1.  If needed I could install 7.1.
    I have two Honeywell sensors (HOA7720) which each consist of an infrared transmitter and a infrared reciever.  When the beam is broken they output 5V, when the beam is open it outputs 0V.  These are sensing the presence of a hole in two discs passing thru the sensors.  
    So as disc 1 rotates the signal is 5V until the hole passes thru sensor 1, then it drops to 0V until the hole passes.  Then it jumps back to 5 V. 
    Disc 2 is rotating at exactly the same RPM as disc 1 because they are coupled with a spring loaded coupling.  There is a delay between the first hole passing thru sensor 1 and the second hole passing thru sensor 2.  The delay increases with torque. 
    Using the oscilliscope function and connecting Signal1 and Signal2 to AIn0 and AIn1, I have verified that the TTL signals are there.  So electrically everything is working.  I just need to know how to measure the period and delay.  I'm familiar with A/D, but not with counters/gates etc and I think that's what is required here. 
    The first measurement needed is RPM.   Somehow I need to measure the period of the TTL signal. 
    The second measurement needed is the delay between the 1st falling edge and the 2nd falling edge.  
    I don't think it's possible to use the millisecond timer for anything, because the accuracy wouldn't be good enough.  At 3600RPM the disc will spin 60 revs per second, or one every 17ms.  A resolution of 17 samples per revolution is not good enough.    
    Help please!

    It worked!
    I ended up figuring it out today.  It's really simple.  I went analog in to AIn14 and AIn15 which were free. Then the program does a multichannel scan of the signals (collects array of 2 waveforms), Signal 1 and Signal 2 at some scan rate.  I used 100,000 S/s for 10,000 samples. Then I split the array into two separate waveforms.  Then I did an edge detect on each one and it returns the position in the array where the falling edge occurs.  The difference is the delay (after correcting for the scan rate), unless Sig2 comes first in which case the delay is the period - (or +) the difference
    To find the period I used a subset of the Signal 1 waveform from the first falling edge on to the end of the waveform, then did the same edge detect except set the reset setting to true instead of false so it wouldn't detect the low signal which was now at the position 0 in the waveform.  So it would ignore the initial low value, wait for it to go high, then detect the falling edge position.
    Anyway, it works awesome, seems very accurate and gives very stable readings.  3600rpm no problem.  It detects changes of one or two degrees in angular position, with a range from ~145 degrees to ~280 degrees

    How to turn your computer into a Virtual (Personal)Router.
    Our hotel the Grand Oasis Cancun provided internet for only 36 hours and you could only use it on one device which comes to my next option as using your Laptop as a Personal Router to broadcast WiFi to any devices near your computer. Our room was on the Second level of the Pyramid at Grand Oasis and I was able to access it while at the VIP lounge below our room. Before our supposedly free internet service ended.
    I attempted using the hotel next door since I was getting a good signal from the Omni Hotel. They offered complimentary 24hr internet access using your browser as a way to track your use. Once you find the signal of the Omni it will open your browser I used Google Chrome, after it opens you go threw a few simple steps and your ready.
    I learned that after the 24 hours are up all you have to do is disconnect from their network, just run Ccleaner(free program) then find the Signal of the hotel and you will be given another 24 hours. What Ccleaner(<--download there) does is clears anything attached to your browser ie cookies temp files etc. it cleans your browser history giving you a way of not paying for the hotel fee of internet and giving you free WiFi. this is only if you are next to the Omni hotel :).
    What you need to download to turn your computer into a hotspot need to say is this little easy to use program Virtual Router. Once it has download test at your home to make sure it works with you devices. This will work with Tablets, Phones and other computers that cant find the Omni WiFi signal. Your welcome. To use it, is simple. Open program>make a password>select WiFi and start VR.

  • Have anyone used R&S FSEA30 with Labview for Phase Noise Measurement?

    Hi,
    I just accquired a Rohde & Schwarz FSEA30 spectrum analyser. I wonder if anyone here can share their experience in using Labview 8.21 Professional to perform Phase Noise Measurement. I believe Labview 8.21 is far more flexible and powerful than R&S' discontinued FS-K4 Phase Noise Measurement software, which is still being offered at US$3,000 (refurbished). 
    Any links to necessary info and software would be most welcomed.
    Thanks

    Hi Patrick,
    I've used LV to carry out Phase Noise measurements on both R&S and Agilent Spectrum Analyzers ( using LV6.0 to LV7.1).  I have used LV8.2 for other purposes..   I tend to prefer R&S over Agilent, especially when programming LV code.  In both cases I've used LV drivers or simply sending instrument commands via GPIB.  The FSEA30 is a very nice SA. 
    The advantage of the FS-K4 software is that it does the calculations for you, thus greatly reducing implementation time.  And for a company, it may very well be worth the investment, especially at US$3K. 
    Sharing software (vi's in this case) is / will be difficult, since the developped sw is owned by the company for whom it was developped.  For instance, I no longer work for the co where this was done for the R&S.  Recently, I implemented a routine for an Agilent SA.  It had a built-in option to carry out the measurements, so the implementation was merely setting up the SA, go into Phase Noise mode (MOV PH commands, PH_F, PH_MEAS, etc) and that was it.  I seem to recall something similar for the R&S, which was a few years ago..  but I think it also had an option to do the PN measurements..   (I will now have to visit R&S website to refresh my memory).
    All & all, using LV8.2 & R&S SA is a perfect combination.  Their LV drivers are quite useful and simple to use.  I like how they are listed on the block diagram of the tree.vi.

  • Distance measurement using Ultrasonic sensors and phase shift method

    Hi, 
    I've recently started a project where the idea is that we have an ultrasonic transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter will send out a signal at 40 kHz that will hit some object, most likely a book, and reflect that signal to the receiver. The received signal should have a phase difference from the outgoing signal. Now, when we vary the outgoing signal, the phase shift should also change. Likewise, if we vary the distance to the object, the number of wavelengths that can fit in between the object and the transducers should also change. We would multiply the incoming and outgoing signals and measure the beat signal, but I'm not sure how we would do this in labVIEW. We can calculate the distance to the object by figuring out what d(phase)/d(frequency) is. So far,when I am having problems with actually getting an incoming signal and figuring what that phase shift is. I'm not sure how I could use simulate signal to accuately and precisely send out a 40 kHz sine wave, and then vary that signal by steps of 1 Hz. I have also tried using a signal generator, and having once BNC cable go to the input of the transmitter and the other going to input of the DAQ. I have another BNC cable going from the output of the receiver to the input of the DAQ. I had multiple channels on my DAQ, and used split signals to see the transmitted and received signal. But this doesn't seem to be working. I also tried to add gain to the received signal, but when adding an Op-Amp LF356 to the receiver, the signal completely disappears. Attached are some of the VI's I have, but none of them seem to be working. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Have you done the basic physics and mathematics? For the speed of sound = 343 m/s and the frequency = 40 kHz the wavelength is 8.6 mm. At 40.001 kHz the wavelength is 214 nm shorter.
    So, how do you propose to keep track of the number of wavelegnths if the target moves more than 8.6 mm?
    To measure a phase shift you must have some kind of reference. Typically a fraction of the transmitted signal is used as a reference.  Since you probably do not know how much phase shift occurs in the power amplifier driving the transmitter or between the electrical signal at the transducer and the acoustic signal in air, it is usually best to measure both, ideally with the same receiver and amplifiers.
    The LF356 should be good for modest amounts of gain. The transducers can look like a capacitance to the circuits. Do you have a DC offset which is saturating the amplifier?

  • How can I calculate the frequency of a 2-4Hz three phase sine wave in 50msec?

    I want to calculate the frequency of a sine wave using either all three phases or just one, but I want to know the frequency after 50 msec, I don't want to have to wait for a full period.

    I have a mathematically sound suggestion but I do not know how well it will work in application. Most period measurements measure the time between a full period or several periods to eliminate the error introduced by the measuring device. Essentially the device error is made insignificant.
    Mathematically you can do much more but there is a tradeoff between recording less information and knowing (or assuming) some values. For instance, if one knew the amplitude and could calculate the derivative of the signal, one could calculate the frequency. A sine wave can be represented by the function: A sin (BX)=C , where A is the amplitude, B is the frequency, C is the present measured value. If the equation is solved for X, we get: X=(sin^(-1)(C/A))/B. The d
    erivative of the first equation is AB cos(BX)=C. If the equation for X is now substituted into the second equation, we get, AB cos(B (sin^(-1)(C/A))/B)=C. Solving for B we get B=C/(A cos(sin^(-1)(C/A))). Remember, we already know A and C, so we are done.
    Practically every step and assumption in the above argument introduces possible error which will affect the accuracy of the frequency. Unfortunately it is a trade off and that is why at least a whole period needs to be measured to get an accurate frequency.

  • Does anyone still deals with HP3048A Phase Noise Measurement System?

    Hello,
    I am currently on a project dealing with phase noise measurement. The instrument available is HP3048A(Phase Noise Measurement System)
    However, I have this problem that is to extract the program codes used to control various equipment: HP11848A (Phase Noise Interface), HP3561A(Dynamic Signal Analyzer)using LabView 6.1 because I do not have the program codes to control them. The interface used: GPIB
    I have the program used by HP3048A to control the instrument but the language is BASIC and the codes used does not seems to work well in Labview 6.1
    For example: "RST" when input via using HP3048A can preset the instrument 3561A but does not work for LabView6.1
    Can anyone out there help me?
    Regards,
    Daniel

    Hello,
    Using VISA while specifying your GPIB resource, you should be writing whatever string you send, and your instrument should receive it. This should be completely independent of the language used. I know that *RST is a rather common command, and semicolons often delimit multiple commands sent at once. Can you try *RST and *RST; just to see if they work? Can you verify the precise command(s) in the user manual? Does any other command work using VISA?
    Just a few things to try as we figure out what's going on!
    Repost if you're still having trouble communicating!

  • Verizon has failed me again.  How I am not surprised.  Beginning to think they really don't even care any more.

    ordered phone on 9/18 6 plus gold 128g.  suppose to ship 10/28. then on 10/17 order was cancelled by them for reasons they cant explain. So re order phone on 10/25 shipped date of 11/14 and of course nothing again.  For all I know they cancelled it again.  I don't know what has happend to Verizon but this is just unacceptable and not what I expected from them.  But at least I know what i get now which most likely will be leaving for a company that maybe gives a ****.  Thanks a lot Verizon.

    Problem here is you admit you cannot afford the service.
    And you want to blame Verizon for losing a job because you have no cell phone.
    If your job depends on that phone I would pay it on time every time if you need a job to pay your bill.
    No other service is going to treat you any different. And if you cannot afford Verizon's monthly invoice how are you going to afford new devices, activation fees, possible security deposits on any other cellular carrier? You can't.
    Also if you made an arraignment to pay and then decide you cannot do so, why should Verizon extend you service or credit, or why is it you want to use the service and data and not pay for it as agreed.
    Get a prepay phone. Its evident the cost is too high for you to afford on post pay.
    Good Luck

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
