MTV Optimization Setup (Static Coupling
Channel)
The following sections explain how to set up a static
coupling channel which is used to perform self
cancellation. The test setup in the following section is a
useful environment to become familiar with tuning the
device to the desired frequency the user would like to
cancel in the final application. It will also provide an
intuitive means of obtaining the starting I and Q values
for achieving cancellation in the MTV Application setup.
A network analyzer is used to show the frequency
response of the QHx220 while performing the
optimization to achieve cancellation. It is suggested to
perform the following setup of the network analyzer
before connecting it to the rest of the test setup.
1. Set the desired frequency bandwidth for the
application.
2. Change the output power to -45dBm. This provides
some margin for the -45dBm maximum input
requirement of the QHx220 since there is an
additional 6dB loss from the power splitter. However,
if pre-amplification is used (operating in high gain or
boost mode) then the power should be reduced an
additional 10dB to 15dB per gain stage.
3. Perform a 2-port calibration of the network analyzer.
4. Select the S21 measurement mode.
The power splitter connected to the output of the
network analyzer is used to divide the aggressor signal
into two separate paths. One path goes to the sampler
input of the QHx220 which samples the aggressor signal.
The other path is fed to what will later be used as part of
the receive path for the MTV receiver. An attenuator pad
is used in this path to set the coupling losses. This loss
represents the coupling loss between the aggressor
source and the MTV victim antenna. For the purpose of
this evaluation the attenuator should be roughly 10dB to
20dB for a typical coupling factor. Keep in mind that the
second power splitter adds an additional 6dB to the
coupling factor. Since the QHx220 has ~50dB dynamic
range, this range of attenuation should set the aggressor
power in the middle of the tuning range of the QHx220
when using the lowest gain setting of the QHx220.
Higher gain settings can be used for stronger coupling
factors or weaker noise sampling or tapping methods.
It is important to set the power level of the network
analyzer to -45dBm. This will ensure that the sampler
input maximum power level is not exceeded. The
