RFAM of the RF stabilization box is measured |
|
|
I reconstructed Tobin's setup to measure the RFAM after the RF stabilization box in the 166 MHz modulation path.
The setup consisted of the splitter and the mixer followed by the RF low pass filter and the SR560 (gain x100).
The RF level into splitter was 20 dBm. The Mini-Circuits ZLW-3H (17 dBm LO) mixer was used. The LO was taken
straight out of the splitter and the RF path was attenuated by 11 dBm, The DC out of the mixer was 700 mV.
The noise floor was measured with the RF input of the mixer terminated on 50 Ohm. The 45 MHz measurement
in broad band setting looks better than the noise floor at high frequencies. I am not sure what was wrong with
one or both of those measurements. The 9 MHz measurements are above the noise floor.
The RFAM meets the AdvLIGO requirements in the detection band (f > 10 Hz).
The attached zipped files are:
SRS003 9 MHz DC-200 Hz
SRS004 9 MHz DC-26 kHz
SRS006 45 MHz DC-200 Hz
SRS005 45 MHz DC-26 kHz
SRS007 Noise floor DC-200 Hz
SRS008 Noise floor DC-26 kHz |
