Abstract

A portable network analyzer and method having multiple channel transmit and receive capability for real-time monitoring of processes which maintains phase integrity, requires low power, is adapted to provide full vector analysis, provides output frequencies of up to 62.5 MHz and provides fine sensitivity frequency resolution. The present invention includes a multi-channel means for transmitting and a multi-channel means for receiving, both in electrical communication with a software means for controlling. The means for controlling is programmed to provide a signal to a system under investigation which steps consecutively over a range of predetermined frequencies. The resulting received signal from the system provides complete time domain response information by executing a frequency transform of the magnitude and phase information acquired at each frequency step.

S-parameter test set for pulsed networks

Conference Regan, A; Ziomek, C; Brooks, T

A scattering parameter test set that operates in a pulsed mode for analyzing RF/microwave networks has been developed. Designed for analyzing various components of accelerator RF systems, the test set is applicable to a variety of components at different frequencies. The test set consists of an embedded processor, a tracking downconverter, a dual channel vector detector, a timing distribution module, a pulse generator, and a signal generator. The majority of the hardware is packaged in the modular VXlbus architecture, and the control software is National Instruments` LabVIEW{copyright}. Measurements of systems have been made centered around 425 MHz, 850 MHz andmore »« less

Deep penetration well logging system and method using secondary electromagnetic fields

Patent Cox, P; Warren, W; Johnson, Jr, D

A well logging method is described for determining the dielectric constant and/or conductivity of earth formations, some of which has fluid invasion, in the vicinity of a well borehole comprising the steps of: transmitting electromagnetic energy into the earth formation from a first location in a borehole at a frequency within a frequency range of 10 MHz to 60 MHz, receiving transmitted electromagnetic energy at second, third and fourth locations in a borehole, where the second locations is a predetermined distance from the first location. The third location is at a greater predetermined distance from the first location than themore »« less
Digital circuit analyzer: logic board tester makes a powerful diagnostic tool in design, production, and maintenance

Technical Report

A portable digital circuit analyzer features 120 independently-programable input/output (I/O) channels for testing large, complex integrated-circuit (IC) boards. It has 15-MHz speed (data change rate) and 1024-bit storage capacity per channel. The instrument also doubles as a basic 120-channel time-domain analyzer, providing triggering on any data pattern with up to 4095 steps of post-trigger recording within the storage capacity of 1024 memory locations. As a board tester, the instrument detects and displays logic errors, including slow-logic and timing problems. The boards are tested by comparing their signature with that of a good logic board used as a reference. Errors inmore »« less
