Page 2: Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily related to any specific part or procedure, and do not necessarily appear elsewhere in this publication. These precautions must be thoroughly understood and apply to all phases of operation and maintenance. WARNING Keep Away From Live Circuits Operating Personnel must at all times observe general safety precautions. Do not replace components or make adjustments to the inside of the test equipment with the high voltage supply turned on. To avoid casualties, always remove power. WARNING Shock Hazard Do not attempt to remove the RF transmission line while RF power is present. WARNING Do Not Service Or Adjust Alone Under no circumstances should any person reach into an enclosure for the purpose of service or adjustment of equipment except in the presence of someone who is capable of rendering aid. WARNING Safety Earth Ground An uniterruptible earth safety ground must be supplied from the main power source to test instruments. Grounding one conductor of a two conductor power cable is not sufficient protection. Serious injury or death can occur if this grounding is not properly supplied. -

Chapter 1 Introduction Description The Bird Statistical Power Sensor (SPS) is a Thruline sensor that can measure Average, Real Time, Peak and Statistical. It is used with the Bird Virtual Power Meter Software (VPM3) or with the Bird RF meter App. Note: Firmware upgrades extending the SPS’s capabilities may be periodically released. For the latest firmware upgrade, contact Bird Customer Service at 866‐695‐4569 or visit our website at http://www.birdrf.com... -

Chapter 2 Installation Connections WARNING Never attempt to connect or disconnect RF equipment from the transmission line while RF power is being applied. Leaking RF energy is a potential health hazard. Note: Connect the SPS to the RF line so that the arrow on the sensor points towards the load/ antenna. To connect using the USB port, connect the USB cable between the computer and the SPS. A separate power supply is not required when using the USB port. -

Chapter 3 Operation Zeroing Sensor Note: This procedures uses VPM3. 1. Check that no RF is in the system. Note: The sensor will read “~0.” 2. Do one of the following: Press the Amplitude menu button. Go to the Amplitude menu item. 3. Press the Zero menu key. Note: Zeroing will take about 10 seconds. A progress bar for the calibration will be displayed on the screen. Note: If the calibration is interrupted for any reason, the sensor will need to be re‐zeroed. 4. Press “Run” to resume data collection with the new Zero offset. Figure 2 Zeroing Sensor... -
Page 12: Function Descriptions
Statistical Power Sensor Function Descriptions Figure 3 Average and Peak Envelope Power - Square Wave Signal Peak Envelope Power 100 W Average Power 50 W Average Power Diodes and “square law” output is directly proportional to the average power, which provides the measure of the equivalent heating power of a signal, as measured with a calorimeter. The measurement is the total RF power in the system, and does not depend on the number of carriers or modulation scheme. The statistical power sensor measures forward and reflected power so that VSWR, return loss or Rho (reflection coefficient) can be displayed. ... - Page 13 Operation Statistical Power Most modern wireless communication systems employ complex modulation methods like orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). These methods use a combination amplitude, frequency, or phase to create symbol based multichannel or multi‐carrier systems that result in pseudorandom or noise‐like power envelops. The peak‐to‐ average power ratio of such a waveform can be a complex function of the data stream content rather than just amplitude. Since digitally modulated signals often appear noise‐like, statistical analysis may be used in order to characterize them. The Statistical Power Sensor collects samples of the envelope of a carrier and accumulates them in a series of bins. This information is useful for qualitative assessment of complex waveforms that have a finite number of discrete amplitude levels, like QAM. A more useful measurement is one that shows how often various power levels occur as a percentage of data ensemble length. This is done by calculating the cumulative distribution function (CDF) from the PDF. CDF ‐ Shows the probability in percent that the measured power is less than or equal to a specified power level. Complementary CDF (CCDF) ‐ The probability that the measured power is greater than a specified power level. Crest Factor ‐ Peak‐to‐average ratio, or Crest Factor, displays the number of samples analyzed, elapsed time, and confidence band.

Page 16: Updating The Sensor Firmware
Statistical Power Sensor Updating the Sensor Firmware 1. Go to http://www.birdrf.com/ 2. Download new version of firmware. 3. Connect the sensor to a PC via the USB cable. 4. Press and hold the Reset button. Note: This will switch the sensor to bootloader mode. Note: The firmware/FPGA version to be updated to the sensor will show in the “Update Version” field. 5. Click the “Details” button to display detail message in the message screen. 6. Click the “Update” button will start to update in the order firmware first then FPGA. Note: The progress bar will indicate the prog‐ ress. Note: Right after the firmware update finishes it expects a long time delay before updating FPGA as the sensor will restart and reload FPGA. It may take more than 3 mins to finish FPGA update depending on the size of FPGA image. Note: Right after FPGA completing, the sensor version number will be read back and show in the “Sensor Version” field to replace “Unavail‐ able” to complete entire update. 7. -
