MAPCON 2024: Programmable AWGN Generator and RF Power Measurement

ABSTRACT: The demonstration first monitors the 5G/Wi-Fi-like output from a signal source with a Maury Microwave RTP5000 Series Real-Time USB Peak Power Sensor. The signal is then fed into the Maury Microwave UFX7000B Programmable AWGN Generator, which enables manipulation of the carrier signal and noise floor in 0.1 dB steps over a 127 dB dynamic range. An RTP5000 sensor is the receiver that captures the UFX7000B signal + noise output and measures the SNR and C/N power envelope in real time. The UFX7000B can have additional CW and band-limited noise via internal or external filters for more complex interference.
