In a attempt to debug the values of transimpedance generated by the PDFR system, I did a manual measurement for REFL11 PD.
- Took the tops off AS and POY tables. (REFL11 and REF PD) Under the supervising eye of Manasa
- Verify that no extra light is falling on REFL11.
- Retake DC voltage readings, power readings.
- Manually set the sweep parameters and record readings from network analyzer.
- Put the tops back on the tables
- Calculate transimpedance
Results:
REF PD(1611):
Pinc = 1.12 mW T_dc = 10000 V/A (datasheet)
Vdc = 7.68 V T_rf = 700 V/A (datasheet)
Calculated Responsivity = 0.68 A/W (Which matches perfectly with the datasheet value of 0.68 A/W)
REFL11:
Pinc = 0.87 mV T_dc = 66.2 V/A (schematic)
Vdc = 32.5 mV
Calculated Responsivity = 0.56 A/W
Network analyzer reading at 11 MHz : 0.42
Calculated RF Transimpedance = 460 V/A
40m Wiki : RF Transimpedance = 4 kV/A
I ran the same measurement using PDFR system and got the same results.
Attached: the automatic data and plot obtained.
Conclusion: The PDFR system and manual measurements agree with each other. However the values do not match with 40m Wiki. I have no clue about which measurement is correct or any mistakes I might be making in the calculations.
