For the RF PD Frequency Response Measurement project, we get each PD signal from the "PD RF Mon" output of each demodulator board corresponding to our PD under test. Therefore we can't neglect the frequency response of various filters inside the demodulator board. I used our Agilent 4395 Network Analyzer to gather frequency response data for each demodulator board being considered for the RFPD frequency response project (AS55, REFL11, REFL33, REFL55, REFL165, POX11, POP22, POP110).
The NA swept over a frequency range of 1-500 MHz. Data was collected using NWAG4395A (from the netgpibdata directory). It should be noted that the command line options -a 16 -x 15 (averaging=16 and excitation amplitude=15 dBm[the max]), in addition to the usual command line options described in the help file, were used to minimize noise.
The data is located in /users/alex.cole. The file names are in the format [PDNAME]DemodFilt_1000000.dat (e.g. REFL11DemodFilt_1000000.dat). Results for POP110 are shown below. |
