Development of Compact P-Band Vector Reflectometer IJECEIAES
A compact and low cost portable vector reflectometer is designed for a reliable measurement of reflection coefficient, S . This reflectometer focuses on return loss measurement of frequency ranges from 450 MHz to 550 MHz. The detection of magnitude and phase is based on the utilization of surface mount Analog Devices AD8302 gain/phase detector. The data acquisition is controlled by using Arduino-Nano 3.0 microcontroller, with the use of two analog to digital converter (ADC) and a digital to analog converter (DAC). One port (Open, short and matched load) calibration technique is used to eliminate systematic errors prior to data acquisition. The evaluation of the reflectometer is done by comparing the result of the measurement to that of vector network analyzer. 11

To use the oscilloscope and function generator to calculate, ob-
tain, and measure the amplitudes and durations (period) of various voltage
signals.

Function generator
2 THEORY
Oscilloscope
The oscilloscope is the most important instrument available
to the practicing technician or engineer. It permits the visual display of a
voltage signal that can reveal a range of information regarding the operating
characteristics of a circuit or system that is not available with a standard
multimeter.At first glance the instrument may appear complex and difficult
to master. Be assured, however, that once the function of each section of
the oscilloscope is explained and understood the system is used throughout
a set of experiments, your expertise with this important tool will develop
quite rapidly.
In addition to the display of a signal, it can also be used to measure the
average value, rms value, frequency and period of a sinusoidal or nonsinu-
soidal signal. The screen is divided into centimeter divisions in the vertical
and horizontal directions. The vertical sensitivity is provided (or set) in
1
2. volts/div., while the horizontal scale is provided (or set) in t time (s/div). If
a particular signal occupies 6 vertical divisions and the vertical sensitivity is
5mV/div., the magnitude of the signal can be determined from the following
equation:
Amplitude of signal voltage = voltage sensitivity (V/div.)×deflection (div.)
(1)
Vs=(5mV/div.)(6 div.)=30mV
If one cycle of the same signal occupies 8 divisions on the horizontal scale
with a horizontal sensitivity of 5µs/div., the period and the frequency of the
signal can be determined using the following equations:
Period of signal voltage = horizontal sensitivity (V/div.)×deflection (div.)
(2)
T=(5µs/div.)(8 div.)=40 µs and
f =

Function Generator
The function generator is a voltage supply that typically
provides a sinusoidal, square-wave, and triangular voltage waveform for a
range of frequencies and amplitudes. Although the frequency of the func-
tion generator can be set by the dial position and appropriate multiplier,
the oscilloscope can be used to precisely set the output frequency. The
scope can also be used to set the amplitude of the function generator since
most function generators simply have an amplitude control with no level
indicators.
Both the scope and the function generator are built to withstand some
abuse, so do not be afraid to try various combinations of dial settings to fully
develop your abilities with this laboratory experiment. In addition, if you
are working in a group, do not let one person perform all the experimental
work. You must spend the time in the laboratory, so you should learn how
to use the equipment properly and develop the skills that you may need for
a job that requires a firm understanding of how to use the oscilloscope and
functions generator.
3 PROCEDURE
3.1 Part 1. The Oscilloscope

4. establishes ground reference o screen
h. Beam finder:
Locates the trace if it is off screen.
i. Calibrate switches:
Provide for the adjustment of scope from external reference source.
j. Internal sync:
In this position, a part of the input signal is applied from the vertical
amplifier to the trigger circuit to cause the trigger signal synchronously
with the input signal to drive the sweep circuit.
k. Trigger section:
Determines mode of triggering of the sweep voltage.
l. External trigger input:
In this position, the signal which is connected to EXT TRIG input
becomes the triggering signal.
m. Input resistance and capacitance:
The input impedance of many scopes consists of the parallel combina-
tion of a 1 Meg resistance and a 30 pF capacitor.

5. n. Probe:
Measuring devices which reduces loading of scope on a circuit and ef-
fectively increases input impedance of scope by a factor of 10.
3.2 Part 2. The Function Generator
Setup
a. Turn on the oscilloscope and adjust the necessary controls to establish
a clear, bright, horizontal line across the center of the screen. Do not
be afraid to adjust various controls to see their effects on the display.
b. Connect the function generator to one vertical channel of the oscil-
loscope and set the output of the generator to a 1000 Hz sinusoidal
waveform.
c. Set the vertical sensitivity of the scope to 1 V/div. and adjust the
amplitude control of the function generator to establish a 4 V peak-
to-peak (p-p) sinusoidal waveform on the screen.
Horizontal Sensitivity
d. Determine the period of the 1000 Hz sinusoidal waveform in millisec-
onds using the equation T = 1/f.Show all work for each part of the
experiment. Be neat!
(calculated)T=1/f=1/1000Hz=1ms
e. Set the horizontal sensitivity of the scope to 0.2 ms/div. Using the
results of Part 2(d) predict and calculate the number of horizontal
divisions required to properly display one full cycle of the 1000 Hz
signal.

without touching any of the controls of the function generator. Using
the results of Part 2(d) how many horizontal divisions will now be
required to display one full cycle of the 1000 Hz signal?
(calculated)Number of divisions=1ms*(1div/0.5ms)=2
divisions

7. Using the oscilloscope measure the number of required divisions and
insert below. How does the result compare to the calculated number
of divisions?
(measured)Number of divisions=1
h. What was the effect on the appearance of the sinusoidal waveform as
the horizontal sensitivity was changed from 0.2 ms/div. to 0.5 ms/div.
and finally to 1 ms/div.
.2ms/div takes 5 boxes to display total wave
.5ms/div takes 2 boxes to display total wave
1ms/div takes 1 box to display total wave
Did the frequency of the signal on the screen change with each hor-
izontal sensitivity? What conclusion can you draw from the results
regarding the effect of the chosen horizontal sensitivity on the signal
output of the function generator?
No, the frequency of the signal does not change. Increasing horizontal
sensitivity - e.g. from .1ms to 20µ- enables more sensitive reading of
the frequency.
i. Given a sinusoidal waveform on the screen review the procedure to
determine its frequency. Develop e sequence of steps to calculate the
frequency of a sinusoidal waveform appearing on the screen of an os-
cilloscope.
(a) Adjust timebase to obtain one cycle of the wave
(b) Count the number of divs. occupied by the wave
(c) Note the timebase setting
(d) Multiply timebase setting by number of divs. occupied by the wave.
This is equal to the period of the wave
(e) Obtain its reciprocal; that’s the frequency
Vertical Sensitivity
j. Do not touch the controls of the function generator but set the sensi-
tivity of the scope to 0.2 ms/div. and set the vertical sensitivity to 2
V/div. Using this latter sensitivity, calculate the peak-to-peak value of
the sinusoidal waveform on the screen by first counting the number of
7
8. vertical divisions between peak values and multiplying by the vertical
sensitivity.
(calculated)Peak-to-peak value=2div*(2V/div)=4Vp−p
k. Change the vertical sensitivity of the oscilloscope to 0.5 V/div. and
repeat Part2(j).
(calculated)Peak-to-peak value=8*(0.5V/div)=4Vp−p
l. What was the effect on the appearance of the sinusoidal waveform as
the vertical sensitivity was changed from 2 V/div. to 0.5 V/div.?
The signal occupied full screen.
Did the peak-to-peak voltage of the sinusoidal signal change with each
vertical sensitivity? What conclusion can you draw from the results
regarding the effect of changing the vertical sensitivity on the output
signal of the function generator?
The peak amplitude did not change with a change in the setting of the
vertical sensitivity.
m. Can the peak or peak-to-peak output voltage of a function generator
be set without the aid of an auxiliary instrument such as an oscillo-
scope or digital multimeter? Explain.
No, there is no voltmeter built into function generator (Except some
digital ones)

3.4 Part 4. Effect of DC Levels
a. Reestablish the 1 kHz 4Vp−psinusoidal waveform on the screen. Cal-
culate the effective value of the sinusoidal waveform.
Vrms (calculated)= Vrms=4V*1/2*.707=1.41Volts
