TITLE: 40 GS/s Digitizer System LAB REQUESTING SERVICE: Communications Technology Laboratory, Metrology for Wireless Systems (672.04)

I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently developed a millimeter-wave channel sounding instrument to characterize a 5 GHz bandwidth signal centered at 28.5 GHz, 60.5 GHz, and 83.5 GHz for commerce, including but not limited to future mobile wireless communications. Generally, the instrument measures the power-delay profile and the angle of arrival of a received signal through a specific test environment. The receiver sequentially polls 16 antennas arranged to cover several arrival angles, and digitizes the received signals. An entire polling sequence may typically occur in approximately 10 microseconds. Stored data are post-processed to derive the specific channel characteristics of the test environment, which are then included in a statistical model of many such environments.

II. SCOPE OF WORK

NIST requires a contractor to provide a digitizer system with the following specifications. In addition, the contractor shall supply a software development kit that enables basic control of the digitizer with respect to sampling rate, record length, waveform capture, and other basic parameters. All cabling associated with this digitizer shall be supplied by the contractor.

III. SPECIFICATIONS

a. The contractor shall provide a digitizer system capable of at least 10 GHz of analog bandwidth and a sample rate that is eight times the 5 GHz Intermediate Frequency (IF).

b. During operation, the control signal driving the multi-way antenna selector shall create a trigger signal to the digitizer. The digitizer shall then take a predetermined number of samples at a rate of 40 GS/s until the last antenna has been selected. The predetermined number of samples may range from approximately 100kS to 64GS depending on the data collection mode chosen.

c. The digitizer system shall be used within an AXIe chassis and shall utilize an embedded controller for control and data acquisition.

d. The digitizer system shall be compatible with existing NIST control and data acquisition software (Guzik SDK software version 153 which include MatLab Mex functions for real time digitizer control).

e. The digitizer system shall be used as a backup for field measurements in order for it to be replaced quickly under field-test conditions.

The system shall consist of the following components:

· Guzik Model ADC 6131 64G memory, Part number S90-620186 The system shall contain the following options:

· 128 GB Memory (Guzik S95-990462)

· 128 GB Firmware (Guzik S87-777629)

· Digital Down Converter (Guzik S87-777626

· Guzik Signal Analyzer Software Development Kit and Signal Display application.

· Keysight AXIe Chassis (Keysight Model # M9502A)

· AXIe Controller (Keysight Model #M9536A): Embedded Computer in AXIe Chassis with 16 GB RAM
