    Bird Diagnostic System BDS Operating Modes BDS Receiver operating modes are:  "Standard Tracking Mode" on page 4  "Spectral Search Mode" on page 6  "Time Domain Mode" on page 7 Standard Tracking Mode There are three tracking options available in the Standard tracking mode: CW, Pulse, and Multi-Level Pulse.
  • Page 15 Introduction Multi-Level Pulse Option In the Multi-Level Pulse mode, the BDS collects voltage and current information for user specified fundamental and harmonic frequencies for up to four pulse levels starting at the rising edge of the sync pulse. The fundamental frequencies are tracked to ensure peak signal measurements are captured during the pulse period.

  • Page 16: Spectral Search Mode

    Bird Diagnostic System Spectral Search Mode The Spectral Search (Sweep) Mode is used to get an overall view of the spectral components in a given frequency band. It sweeps across a frequency band, from start to stop frequency, displaying the amplitude at each frequency step.

  • Page 17: Time Domain Mode

    Introduction Time Domain Mode Note: Time Domain mode is an optional mode requiring an additional license, see "BDS Receiver Options" on page 3 The BDS Time Domain mode allows unprecedented visibility into the shape of pulsed RF waveforms in the non 50- Ohm environment.

    Theory of Operation The Bird Diagnostic System (BDS) is a real-time RF measurement system that consists of a sensor, a sensor cable, and a receiver. Each component of the BDS (sensor, sensor cable, receiver) is calibrated separately and contains its own calibration constants which permits interchangeability without recalibration.

  • Page 22: Chapter 2 Installation

    If the shipping container is not damaged, unpack the unit. Save shipping materials for repackaging. 2. Inspect unit for visual signs of damage.
