Vector Network Analyzer-Noise Figure Measurement

View page
US Patent:
20080238441, Oct 2, 2008
Filed:
Mar 30, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/694571
Inventors:
Richard L. Rhymes - Santa Rosa CA, US
John C. Faick - Santa Rosa CA, US
Barry A. Brown - Santa Rosa CA, US
Robert E. Shoulders - Santa Rosa CA, US
Roger D. Pollard - Leeds, GB
International Classification:
G01R 29/26
US Classification:
324601, 324614
Abstract:
A noise receiver is included in a network analyzer block diagram such that noise power and S-parameters measurements can be made almost simultaneously without mechanical switching in the test set. Additionally, a variable mismatch device tuner that is used by the network analyzer for S-parameter calibrations, is further used during the noise figure measurements method to remove the effect of source match variations so that the expected noise figure performance of the DUT when connected to a desired input (probably 50 ohms) can be determined.

True Average Wide Dynamic Range Microwave Power Sensor Using Diode Stack Attenuator-Diode Stack

View page
US Patent:
62429019, Jun 5, 2001
Filed:
Apr 9, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/289295
Inventors:
John C. Faick - Santa Rosa CA
Eric R. Ehlers - Santa Rosa CA
Ronald J. Hogan - Santa Rosa CA
Ajay A. Prabhu - Rohnert Park CA
Assignee:
Agilent Technologies Inc. - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G01R 2304
G01R 1500
G01S 302
US Classification:
324 95
Abstract:
The invention provides a true average, wide dynamic range microwave power sensor using a diode-stack-attenuator diode stack technology. The invention provides a diode stack microwave power sensor which includes an RF signals receiver having wide dynamic power ranges; a low power sensor path connected between the receiver and ground for sensing relatively low power RF input signals. The low power sensor path includes one or more stacked RF diodes in which a number of diode pairs may be coupled to ground through respective capacitors. An impedance network including attenuating resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series between the receiver and ground. A high power sensor path is connected in parallel between the attenuating resistors R1 and R2 and ground for sensing attenuated relatively high power RF input signals. The high sensor path includes a second stacked RF diode in which a second number of stacked diode pairs are coupled to ground through a respective capacitor, and in which the sensor diode operates in the square law region and senses the power levels over the wide dynamic ranges of the received RF signals.

Apparatus And Method For Utilizing An Ac Detection Scalar Network Analyzer With A Cw Signal Source

View page
US Patent:
46478450, Mar 3, 1987
Filed:
Sep 20, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/652545
Inventors:
Kenneth A. Richter - Santa Rosa CA
M. D. Sohigian - Healdsburg CA
John C. Faick - Santa Rosa CA
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G01R 2700
US Classification:
324 57R
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for using an AC detection network analyzer with either a pulsed RF or a CW source signal is disclosed. An AC/DC detector is placed between an AC detection network analyzer and a device under test. If a source signal is a pulsed RF signal the AC/DC detector can be switched to transform the pulsed RF signal to produce an AC signal for the network analyzer. If the signal source is a CW signal, the AC/DC detector can be switched to rectify the CW signal, modulate the CW signal, sample the CW signal, and filter the CW signal. This will also produce the AC signal for the network analyzer.
