OUTLINE
History of Automated Measurement Synthetic Instruments Advantages of Synthetic Instruments Vector Signal Analyzer Implemented as a
Synthetic Instrument

HISTORY OF AUTOMATED MEASUREMENT
people started using these inexpensive computers to control measurement devices measurements to be made faster The knowledge for operating the instruments
is encapsulated in software that anybody can run
With computer-controlled measurement devices, you still needed a separate measurement device for each separate measurement
It seemed fortunate that you didn't necessarily need a different computer for each measurement. 3
HISTORY OF AUTOMATED MEASUREMENT
rack-em-stack-em putting all these computer-controlled
instruments into one big en-closure They could have a whole slew of measurements
made with the touch of a button The computer would run all the instruments
and record the results some systems got so big that you needed to
carry

HISTORY OF AUTOMATED MEASUREMENT
Modular Instruments measurement instruments were put into smaller, plug-
in packages that connected to a common bus Modular packaging can eliminate redundancy Modular design saves money in theory. In practice,
however, cost savings are often not realized with modular packaging
when you want to add another instrument, you add another measurement specific hardware module
Modular Instruments [6]

SYNTHETIC INSTRUMENTS With a synthetic instrument, ideally you add
nothing but software to add another instrument

SYNTHETIC INSTRUMENTS
Many of these benefits are a direct result of the modularity aspect of the SI, which consists of
The sampled data delivered by the ADC in a DSP-based instrument can be used to analyze different attributes of the input signal
Synthetic Instrument Context[4]7
SYNTHETIC INSTRUMENTS The sampled data time series can be analyzed
to extract time-domain attributes of the signal The most common signal processing task is the
transformation of the time series to its spectral representation
Frequency-domain attributes and parameters extractable from the transformed signal include frequency, bandwidth, transfer functions, and gain and phase distortions

SYNTHETIC INSTRUMENTS
Direct analysis of the sampled time series offers a high-detail time-localized sample-by-sample
analysis of its spectral representation offers a low-detail, long-time averaged examination
Modern DSP technology offers a third level of time signal analysis to disclose and quantify underlying short-term time-domain signal structures example of a middle-detail time
analysis of a sampled data signal is
its time-varying amplitude and phase
profile not observable in the time
series or its spectral representationSI front- and back-end options[1]

ADVANTAGES OF SYNTHETIC INSTRUMENTS Eliminating Redundancy
Power Supply Front Panel Controls Computer Interfaces Computer Controllers Mechanical Enclosures Signal Processing
Measurement Integration The data set is seen as an integrated whole that is
analyzed, categorized, and visualized This is in contrast with the more prevalent way of
approaching test where a separate measurement is done in a sequential process with each test
10
ADVANTAGES OF SYNTHETIC INSTRUMENTS Measurement Speed
synthetic instrument does a measurement that is exactly tuned to the needs of the test being performed. Nothing more, nothing less For example, there is a speed-accuracy trade-off
the most efficient measurement techniques and algorithms can be used
Longer Service Life Synthetic measurement systems can be reprogrammed
Reduce costs by reusing hardware for many applications[6]

QUADRATURE DEMODULATOR it must estimate and remove unknown frequency
and phase offsets of the quadrature oscillator and time sampling process
VSA does not require all of this support there are channel and implementation effects;
thus, there will be a difference betweenthe modulator input and the demodulator output

VSA IMPLEMENTATION A normal receiver will include an equalizer The VSA-based receiver does not use its equalizer in
the same fashion The radio receiver section of the VSA instrument
must acquire carrier frequency and phase from the modulated signal to perform its demodulation task
This is performed with a high-quality DSP-based PLL To minimize phase jitter in the demodlation process,
the PLL bandwidth must be small to acquire it in reasonable time and with a reasonable
offset frequency, the PLL bandwidth must be large the loop bandwidth is variable
16
VSA IMPLEMENTATION the radio receiver part of the VSA instrument must
accommodate input signals with arbitrary bandwidths and arbitrary symbol rates
To control the complexity of the signal collection process the VSA front end will likely have a fixed antialiasing
filter a high-performance ADC operating at a fixed input
sample rate The processing performed by the VSA must include
the option of arbitrary resampling from the fixed input sample rate
The timing jitter introduced by the resampling operation must be significantly smaller than the timing jitter expected to be measured
This means the arbitrary resample must be of extremely high quality
