Ultra-Wideband SDR Performance

• >1 GHz instantaneous bandwidth per channel • True wideband TX/RX without external stitching • Built on instrument-grade RF and clocking architecture

In this video, we use the Proteus Arbitrary Waveform Transceiver to measure the length of a coax cable. We transmit 200MHz pulses of RF energy and measuring the delay through the cable. The delay is 0.068us , speed of light is 300,000,000 meters/s. Therefore the cable length is 20M. In the following videos we will demonstrate more advanced measurements - but let’s start at the beginning.

Using two channels simultaneously on the Proteus Arbitrary Waveform Transceiver, we again transmit 200MHz pulses of RF energy from CH1 and CH2. We then adjust in real-time the delay between each channel to emulate the angle of arrival, plus to emulate how a radar mode would behave we increase the PRI to emulate what would happen as it approaches the target.

Multiple signals, such as the ones required for testing AESA Radar systems, Quantum Computing, and the latest generation of wireless LAN, UWB, and mobile telephony networks using MIMO, can be generated with up to 4GHz Modulation Bandwidth.

In this video, a 160MHz WiFi-6 signal is generated and its quality is analyzed using a state-of-the-art VSA. With EVM higher than 45dB and ACPR better than 65dB, its performance is aligned with the best VSG in the market.

We are using the Proteus RF Arbitrary Waveform Transceiver for the generation of multiple wideband, complex-modulated signals. Thanks to the built-in dual DUC (Digital Up-Converter) available for each channel, it is an ideal tool.

Electronic Warfare

To deliver the next generation of satellite services, spacecraft operators are increasingly using high-throughput payloads with larger bandwidths at higher frequencies. Characterizing transponder performance such as SNR, SFDR, and flatness over hundreds of MHz or several GHz, can be very difficult for OEMs and equally challenging for suppliers of test and measurement equipment.

The architecture of a high-throughput payload is shown below, and satellite manufacturers are looking for a measurement solution that will allow them to generate wideband, microwave carriers to test their transponders, as well as broadband, RF receiver to characterize the performance of the payload transmitter.

An AWG is a universal signal source and is first used to generate a series of single tones at different frequencies to measure the payload’s receiver in-band SNR, harmonic, and spurious performance. Rajan Bedi, (Spacechips) discovered the Proteus arbitrary waveform transceivers (AWT) from Tabor Electronics.

More experiments from the Tabor Lab. In this short video we put an antenna on a Teledyne Lecroy Oscilloscope and captured to 2.5GHz of instantaneous bandwidth and recorded it to a file. We then loaded the file into the Tabor Proteus P9082M arbitrary waveform generator and played it back. We’ve zoomed in on a specific WLAN carrier and you can see packets flying through the ether in the time domain while observing the time correlated RF spectrum.

In this demonstration we compare Analog IQ modulation to Digital IQ modulation. Advances in DAC technology now means that many chips support direct to RF capability, with built in Oscillators (Numerically Controlled) and IQ modulation capability. The new Proteus Arbitrary Waveform Generator from Tabor has this capability with a usable bandwidth up to 8GHz supported by multiple Nyquist zone operation. The tasks of balancing and nulling are no longer required using this approach, thus reducing setup time and maintenance of complex calibration tables and procedures.

With a 9GHz frequency range, the Proteus AWG can easily generate WLAN beacon signals in the 5GHz band. In this video, we use MatLab to create a baseband signal, which is downloaded to the instrument. The built-in IQ modulator is used to set the RF transmission frequency which is displayed on the oscilloscope. Also, antenna was attached to the output, and the beacon was detected by the iPhone.

Real Time Wideband Microwave Measurement Feedback and Control

Real-time wideband measurement and adaptive control are critical in quantum research, advanced communications, automotive sensing, and electronic warfare. By integrating high-fidelity RF generation with wideband ADCs and FPGA processing, an AWT can capture, analyze, and update waveforms instantly. This enables faster, more precise testing in the most demanding high-bandwidth environments.

Signal Amplifiers - Application Note

There are several considerations one must take into account when deciding to acquire a new signal amplifier. The following tutorial will address the topics which are most related to Tabor’s line of signal amplifiers as well and will provide tips for selecting the most suitable amplifier for your application. It will also explain how each of the topics would influence the amplifier’s performance.

Programming the Tabor Proteus Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) and Arbitrary Waveform Transceiver (AWT) using Python

The Tabor Proteus family of Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG) and Arbitrary Waveform Transceivers (AWT) are programmed using the industry standard instrument programming language SCPI. In this tutorial we go over how to connect to an instrument, create a waveform and digitize a signal.

Solution Notes

Radar Signal Simulation using an AWG

RADAR (“Radio Detection And Ranging”) is a system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify the range, altitude, direction, or speed of both moving and fixed objects such as aircraft, ships, motor vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. Radar systems use transmitters that emit electromagnetic waves that are reflected by a target (“echoes”) and detected by a receiver.

Generating and Measuring Communications Signals with the Proteus AWT

Creating and analyzing signals with Proteus and MATLAB takes a few simple steps. In this application note we show how to generate and receive a WLAN beacon signal at 2.4GHz in the instruments' first Nyquist Zone. The code can easily be modified to create a signal in the second Nyquist zone, all the way up to the WiFi-6 frequency extension of 7.125GHz.

Next generation wideband wireless technologies (WLAN, UWB and 5G)

Next generation wireless signal such as WLAN in the 6GHz band, Ultra-wideband (UWB) and 5G use orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to transmit high speed data over a wireless link. OFDM uses hundreds of carries with a simple narrowband modulation on each carrier. This means each carrier is more robust to interference but has a low transmission bandwidth, but by having 100’s of carriers you get a highspeed data transfer rate. The force multiplier!

Direct to Microwave Signal Generation and Acquisition- Part 2

Complex and accurate modulation of RF signals implies the quadrature modulation of some carrier with complex (I/Q) baseband signals. AWGs have been always used to generate these baseband signals to be applied to external quadrature modulators. A new generation of high-speed AWGs can avoid external modulators by using a combination of digital processing techniques with a high-enough sampling rate to directly generate modulated RF signals in the microwave region.
