Testing elements in a fast communication channel 100GB/s Midterm Presentation Spring 2010 Developers: Hanna Alam and Yousef Badran Project supervised by: Mr. Yossi Hipsh
Abstract • One of the major goals was to examine the current technologies and it’s boundaries . • The road so far : • Getting to know today's technology and look up parts that are 100GB/s compatible • Studying the theoretical aspect of the Phase Lock Loop • Testing the PLL in an Evaluation Board • Measuring low frequency signals ranging 3~4GB/s • Summing up the results and recommending suitable technology to upgrade to 100GB/s
Getting to know today's technology and look up parts that are 100GB/s compatible • We need to understand how the transmitter, receiver and medium work in 25GB/s transfer rate • What kind of components should we adapt for high frequency ? • Transistors, Diodes, Mixers, Counters, Flip-Flops, Amplifiers ... • What are their properties and how to catalogue them ?
Studying the theoretical aspect of the Phase Lock Loop • What is a PLL ? • PLL is a control system that generates a signal that has a fixed relation to the phase of a "reference" signal, it responds to both the frequency and the phase changes of the input signals • How it’s related to our project ?
Testing the PLL in an Evaluation Board • We’ll examine and work with ADF4350 PLL in particular • The goal is to use the PLL in a Eval-ADF4350EB1Z evaluation Board • Testing it in a free running mode and in locked mode • Different frequencies… • Relaxation period and stability for each frequency
Eva-Board Block Diagram • Eval-ADF4350EB1Z • ADF4350 • USB connector • Software • Output connectors
Measuring low frequency signals • Measuring low frequency signals ranging 3~4 GHz • Generate signals using HP-8133A • Pulse generator • Infiniium DSO80204B Oscilloscope • to measure signals • Understanding the measuring methods to be able to chose the next generation measuring technology
Summing up the results and conclusions • Gathering useful 100GB/s compatible devices on one catalogue • Suggesting ideas to how would be possible to work in 100GHz frequency with a stable signal • Suggesting tools and ways to measure a signal in a high frequency of 100GHz
Timeline We’ve created a grant timeline in order to keep track of our work Estimated timeline: Examining today’s technology 18/03 to 08/04 Looking up devices 08/04 to 20/04 Learning about PLL 22/04 to 07/05 ADF4350 Evaluation Board 13/05 to 08/06 Measuring Signals 06/06 to 21/06
