P/L3 Statistical pulsed signal characterization Procedure

Objectives

Characterize the capacity of the RFI Monitoring system to detect pulsed signals by statistical algorithms.

Turn on equipment
- Power supply
- Signal generator
Configure to desired parameters
- Power supply
  - Set Voltage to 3.3V
  - Set current limit to 0.3A
- Signal generator
  - Set output frequency to some IF Band frequency periodic pulsed signals
Set up nucleo board and PC
- Make sure the proper code is loaded into the nucleo board
Make connections
- Connect the power supply to the payload:
  - Vcc to PoL (RED)
  - GND to GND (BLACK)
- Connect the DAC output to the DAC_In (GREEN)
- Connect the ADC input to the ADC_Out
- Load the IF Input with a 50 Ohm perfectly matched load.
- Connect PC to ground (plug in the charger).
- Connect necleo board to computer by USB.
Power on power supply.
Begin the measurements procedure
- Run the flashed program in Debug mode.
- Once the program stops at the breakpoint, collect the calculated mean and plot it in a data processing software like Matlab.
Analyze the collected data.
