P/L3 Statistical pulsed signal characterization Procedure

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