Introduction
National Research Council of Canada has a requirement for the
supply and delivery of a Real Time Signal Analyzer as per the
mandatory specification detailed below. This requirement has a
Mandatory Delivery Date of on or before March 31, 2014 to
Edmonton, AB.
During initial turn on of the experiment, the frequency response
of the atomic quatum dots is unknown. It also has a very small
magnitude. Thus, the initial search with the analyzer will be
in a wide span to cover the most frequency, but with a narrow
resolution bandwidth to lower the noise floor and maximize the
signal to noise ratio. The requirement is for a Real-time
Spectrum Analyzer designed with a wideband architecture that
does not suffer from this problem. The Analyzer must be able to
set wide spans and very narrow resolution bandwidths without
incurring the penalty of long sweep times. This makes the
initial discovery of the atomic quantum dot response very quick
and allows us to proceed to fine tuning the experiment.
During the experiment, we will be fine tuning the magnetic field
which will cause the frequency response of the molecule to
change. This tuning of the magnetic field is necessary to
optimize the molecule response. In order to make this fine
tuning as quick as possible, we require the analyzer to have a
"real-time" feel; to capture and display the changing atomic
quantum dots response as the magnetic field is changed. This
requires a real-time spectrum analyzer with as wide as possible
real-time span. The unit must enable the use of wider spans,
greater than 165 MHz, while remaining in the real-time mode.
Known as DPX sweep, the analyzer must process the wide span in
segments, each segment updating at the real-time rate of
approximately 390,000 FFTs/sec.
The unit must allow for dual spectrum analyzer displays, with
independent resolution bandwidth settings (RBW). This allows
for multiple, simultaneous analysis of the atomic quantum dot
frequency response to help better understand the atomic quantum
dot characteristics.
