Problems solved by technology

Different amplifying or attenuating modules need to be replaced when the function changes, and when the adjustment range of a single amplifying or attenuating module is not large enough, multiple modules need to be cascaded, which increases the occupation of the amplifying and attenuating modules when the number of slots in the PXI chassis is certain. The number of slots increases hardware resources while increasing power consumption and cost
[0008] 2. The power control of the signal is not accurate enough
[0009] In the wide frequency range of 100KHz-8GHz, there will be large errors in the amplification and attenuation of the signal through the conditioning channel
And in different temperature ranges, the actual amplification and attenuation of the conditioning channel are quite different from the user's set value.
[0010] 3. The calibration of the signal is not accurate enough

Embodiment Construction

[0055] Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and specific embodiment the present invention is described in further detail:

[0056] The present invention is based on the PXI bus transmission protocol, and the module is divided into three parts: the PXI interface control unit, the power management unit, and the signal conditioning path unit, and its hardware structure is as follows: figure 2shown. The PXI zero slot controls and monitors the signal conditioning path unit through the PXI interface and the control circuit. The PXI interface control unit is realized by FPGA and auxiliary circuits, and the external memory of FPGA is used to store calibration data.

[0057] Each input / output channel consists of two signal paths. Signal conditioning pathways such as image 3 shown. Channel 0 includes a programmable amplification path and a fixed attenuation path, and channel 1 includes a programmable attenuation path and a fixed amplification path. The programmable ampl...

Abstract

The invention discloses a PXI (PCI Extension for Instrumentation) bus programmable amplification / attenuator device and calibration method thereof and belongs to the field of microwave signal conditioning. According to the invention, a single-block 3U single-slot PXI module is adopted for implementing programmable amplification and attenuation functions in wide frequency bands as wide as 80db at the same time, so that hardware resource is saved. Through flexible matching and cascaded connection of different signal conditioning circuits, signal amplitude conditioning range is increased and power calibration is performed on circuits at different temperatures and frequencies, so that measurement of microwave signals becomes more flexible and accurate.
