5.1.1  R&S OSP Block Diagram 

The following block diagram shows the main functional groups of the R&S OSP120. 

 

Figure 5-1: Block Diagram R&S OSP120 

The central part of the R&S OSP frame is the Low Profile Controller LPC8 with Linux 
Operating System. The computer handles the external interfaces of the R&S OSP120 
such as LAN, USB and DVI. It also serves the internal interfaces in the R&S OSP120 
like the control ports for the three slots which can take the R&S OSP modules.  

The single board computer is plugged onto the R&S OSP Main Board. The basic 
component on the mainboard is an FPGA which supplies all necessary interfaces 
between computer PCI Bus and R&S OSP internal interfaces like the control ports for 
the R&S OSP modules. The CAN bus which is used to connect further R&S OSP 
extension units is implemented in the FPGA as well. 

The power is supplied by a 175 W switching type power supply. The supply voltage for 
the R&S OSP modules and their relays is generated by a voltage converter which is 
placed on the Main Board.  

Via a small interface board the connectors of the Low Profile Controller are adapted to 
the standard interfaces to connect USB devices and the DVI monitor.
