Continuous mode For simple, intuitive measurements of repetitive waveforms, the RFM3000 Series Continuous Mode of operation provides a numeric display of average, maximum and minimum signal powers. Technical data subject to change © B&K Precision Corp. 2021 Pulsed mode Analysis of fast-rising single pulses or pulses with short pulse repetition intervals (PRIs) requires an instrument with sophisticated trigger and data acquisition capability. Within Pulsed Mode, more than 16 pulse parameters can be measured. bkprecision.com Statistical mode Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function or CCDF plot shows the rate of occurrence of a specific crest factor for signals, such as those used in 5G, 4G/LTE, and Wi-Fi applications. RF Power Meter RFM3000 Series Addressing RF communications and radar measurement challenges Wi-Fi and wireless communication signal analysis Characterization and compliance testing of Wi-Fi and LTE chipsets and devices involves significant challenges for design and test engineers. With multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) architectures and channel bandwidths up to 160 MHz,testing is complex, especially when measuring RF power per channel and time alignment between channels. The RFM3000 Series enables packet power measurements to be performed independently on multiple synchronous or asynchronous transmit chains with a common timebase shared among sensors. Between marker measurements Use markers to define a portion of the waveform on which to make measurements. “Between Marker” measurements are ideal for monitoring specific portions of a packet over long intervals. 1 2 m S Peak-to-average power By comparing the peak-to-average power ratio, or crest factor (CF), of input and output signals of an RF transmission chain, engineers can assess circuit linearity. Additional insight can be provided with the RFM3000 Series statistical mode Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF) plot displaying the rate of occurrence of a specific CF. As an amplifier output compresses, the CF will reduce and the CCDF plot will move left. Crest factor Indication of amplifier output compression 2 bkprecision.com RF Power Meter RFM3000 Series Addressing radar measurement challenges Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) Design, verification, troubleshooting and maintenance of secondary surveillance radar (e.g. IFF-based radar) has never been more demanding. Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) Proper design and operation of SSR systems is critical to the safety and security of aviation. The RFM3000 Series can be used to easily and accurately capture SSR waveforms. Markers enable measurements on specific portions of the waveform. Rise time and resolution Industry-leading rise time (< 3 ns) enables characterization of the most demanding radar signals. Utilize the superior 100 ps time resolution to zoom and uncover signal characteristics that might otherwise be missed. Pulse measurements Users can take advantage of the RFM3000 Series automated pulse measurement feature to measure and calculate 16 common power and timing parameters and display the parameters of interest: rise-time, fall time, pulse width, off-time, period, pulse repetition frequency, duty cycle, pulse peak, pulse overshoot, pulse average, waveform average, top level power, droop, bottom level power, edge delay, and pulse edge skew between channels. 3 bkprecision.com RF Power Meter RFM3000 Series Front panel Sync port Sync ports to source or receive triggers for timing and synchronization 5-inch WVGA touch display Multi-touch display with intuitive user interface Intuitive control One touch to quickly access presets and favorite functions USB host Connect up to 4 USB sensors for multi-channel measurements RF out Test source to verify sensor operation Measurement modes Touch to select Continues, Pulse or Statistical mode, and select between Graph and Text Rear panel Optional GPIB interface External trigger input HDMI interface HDMI output for remote front panel display 4 Auxiliary sensor and Sync inputs LAN interface LAN connectivity to ethernet bkprecision.com RF Power Meter RFM3000 Series Specifications RFM3000 Series Channels 2 or 4 channels Display Display Size 5-inch WVGA multi-touch display with intuitive graphical user interface Graph (power vs time) - Numeric (numeric data) - Statistical measurements - CCDF Display Modes Marker Measurements (in Automatic measurements (pulse, statistical, and marker measurements) Graph view) Markers (vertical cursors) Settable in time relative to the trigger position Marker Independently Avg, Min and Max Power at a specified time offset Interval Between Markers Avg, Min and Max Power over the defined interval Pair of Markers Ratio of power values at each marker Pulse Mode Automatic Measurements Pulse rise-time - Pulse fall-time - Pulse width - Pulse off-time - Pulse period - Pulse repetition frequency Pulse duty cycle - Waveform average - Pulse peak - Pulse average - Pulse overshoot - Pulse droop Top level power - Bottom level power - Edge delay - Pulse edge skew between channels Statistical Mode Automatic Measurements Peak power - Average power - Minimum power - Peak to average ratio - Dynamic range Percent at cursor - Crest factor at cursor - Crest factor at various percents Trigger Synchronization Internal trig distribution Mode Normal, Auto, Auto Pk-to-Pk, Free Run Source Any connected RTP Series sensor (via SMB’s) or rear panel external trigger Internal Level Range -40 dBm to +20 dBm (sensor dependent) External Level Range ± 5 volts or TTL Slope + or - Hold-off, Min Pulse Width, Max Trigger Rate Sensor and timebase dependent Time Base 5 Time Base Resolution, Range, Accuracy Sensor dependent Time Base Display Sweeping or roll mode Trigger Delay Range Sensor dependent Trigger Delay Resolution 0.02 divisions bkprecision.com RF Power Meter RFM3000 Series Specifications (cont.)
