Block diagram

Bode 100 is a flexible device that features the following mayor building blocks:
Figure 5-3: Bode 100 block diagram
• Signal source:
The signal source of Bode 100 consists of an adjustable DDS sine-wave generator and adjustable
amplifiers. The output impedance of Bode 100 is 50 Ω.
Internal reference connections allow to directly connect the source signal to the receivers.
• Channel inputs:
Each of the Bode 100 input features adjustable attenuators for best signal / noise ratio and
software-switchable termination. Channel termination can be either 50 Ω or 1 MΩ. Without 50 Ω
terminations the inputs are AC coupled.
• Down conversion & sampling:
The input signal is down-converted to an intermediate frequency and sampled by a 24bit ADC.
The sampled data is sent to the PC and evaluated by the Bode Analyzer Suite.
