HOW — AND WHEN — TO USE SDRS FOR TEST AND MEASUREMENT

By Brendon McHugh, Field Application Engineer & Technical Writer, Per Vices

With the advent of 5G and the internet of things (IoT), wireless
interconnectivity is about to reach a whole new level in terms of density,
range, speed, and security. These milestones, however, can only be achieved
through the constant development of technologies and devices capable of
providing innovative ways for wireless integration. Enabling the development of
cutting-edge wireless devices requires various types of test and measurement
equipment for system calibration, performance evaluation, and to ensure
compliance with regulatory standards. Therefore, test and measurement (T&M)
systems are fundamental building blocks of the wireless revolution. However,
conventional methods for T&M require a variety of special purpose devices with
limited functionalities, making the process inefficient, expensive, and
laborious.

Software-defined radios (SDRs) can be used to develop general-purpose T&M
equipment that can perform several different specialized functionalities, such
as signal and clock generation, network analysis, power measuring, and spectrum
analysis. The main advantage of SDR-based platforms is the possibility of
integrating all these T&M functionalities into one device without needing
hardware modification. Moreover, SDRs can be easily connected to a host,
providing user-friendly data visualization and control.

This article reviews the integration of SDRs in T&M techniques for RF
applications. We first discuss the basic concepts of an SDR, including the
building blocks of the general system and its capabilities, the main
applications of SDRs, and some advantages over conventional devices. Second, we
discuss how SDRs can be applied in T&M systems, covering the initial setup, the
necessary software, and how SDRs can solve some challenges of the T&M industry.
Finally, we will present some examples of SDR-based T&M systems, and how they
affect the development of wireless devices.

What Is An SDR?

The general structure of an SDR consists of two main functional blocks: the
radio front-end (RFE) and the digital backend. Auxiliary modules are also
necessary, including a clock generator for timing purposes and a power supply
board for energy distribution (Figure 1). The radio front-end contains both
receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) channels, providing amplification, filtering,
tuning, and mixing. Professional SDRs can work over a wide range of tuning
frequencies, with the highest performance device in the market (the Cyan Model
from Per Vices) reaching up to 3 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth over multiple
independent channels. Each channel contains an analog-to-digital
(ADC)/digital-to-analog (DAC) interface, so the RFE can perform multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) protocols. The digital backend typically consists of a
high-end field programmable gate array (FPGA) with onboard digital signal
processing (DSP) capabilities, providing enough computing power for
state-of-the-art radio-frequency (RF) algorithms while also allowing a high
degree of flexibility and adaptability. The backend performs modulation,
demodulation, up/down-converting, data packetization over Ethernet links, and
application-specific algorithms, including communication protocols and even
artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML).



Figure 1: The Generalized SDR Block Diagram



The use of an FPGA-based backend allows SDRs to be produced for off-the-shelf
commercialization (COTS) for a variety of different applications, with different
requirements in terms of performance, size, weight, and power (SWaP). SDRs can
be designed with a wide range of form factors, from small low-power modules for
onboard satellite applications to 3U rack units in ground stations. Also, due to
the programmable nature of the FPGA, COTS SDRs are suitable for virtually any RF
application, including low latency links, electronic warfare (EW) devices,
spectrum monitoring & analysis, satellite connectivity, GPS/GNSS systems, and
onboard radars for drones.

SDR-based platforms offer a variety of advantages over traditional RF
measurement systems. First, SDRs provide long-term acquisition and storage of
data, which is extremely important for evaluating clock stability and jitter.
Furthermore, SDRs are all-in-one solutions to several tasks, performing multiple
measurements (including spectrum and time-domain analysis) at the same time,
operating synchronously under a customized application that can be used to
display and store data in real-time. The flexibility of the FPGA also allows the
use of multiple communication protocols without any hardware modification,
including Wi-Fi, 5G, and BLE. Furthermore, high-end SDRs are built in a modular
fashion, enabling easy hardware customization for different SWaP requirements.

One of the best advantages of SDRs over conventional T&M platforms is their
upgradability, keeping it up to date with state-of-the-art protocols and
algorithms and reducing the need to replace the T&M equipment. Moreover,
SDR-based T&M can adapt its RF parameters automatically, working with different
modulation schemes, center frequencies, pulse durations, and gain/filtering
settings. The DSP capabilities of high-end SDRs allow the implementation of very
precise and fast measurements, with data visualization, transmission, and
storage in real-time. They can also decrease the overall cost of T&M
applications by integrating a wide range of application-specific functionalities
into only one device and consequently reducing the amount of hardware and
complexity of testing equipment.

How SDRs Are Used In Test And Measurement

The first step to perform any measurement protocol with an SDR is to configure
the RFE module. The RFE has several filters, amplifiers, mixers, and ADCs/DACs
that must be configured to execute the required T&M protocol. In this step, it
is important to use SDRs with wide bandwidth performance to test different
devices across several frequencies, increasing the range of scenarios. High-end
FPGAs are preferable in T&M to provide DSP resources for complex waveform
generation and parallel signal processing. Moreover, both RFE and the digital
backend must consist of high-quality components to ensure a noise-free and
distortion-free operation, to improve the precision of the measurements. The SDR
should also be properly connected to the host system, typically via Ethernet
communication over optical links. The host itself contain several toolkits for
T&M, that can be based on GNU Radio, GNU Octave, and other open-source
platforms. In a MIMO SDR, a host can run multiple T&M applications at the same
time due to the multiple independent channels of the SDR.

The software application is crucial for a particular T&M implementation, as it
is responsible for system control, data visualization, and SDR configuration.
Therefore, it is convenient to use devices that are ready to work with software
that is stable and well-understood. Per Vices SDRs, for instance, can work with
GNU radio out-of-the-box, without any need for hardware or firmware
modifications. GNU Radio is a well-known toolkit containing both radio and
signal processing functions, most of which are required in T&M, including
frequency spectrum sweep, spectrum waterfall plots, constellation diagrams,
oscilloscope plots, arbitrary waveform generation, and spurious signals
detection. GNU Radio can also automatically calculate RF figures of merit,
including noise level, spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), dynamic range, and
receiver amplitudes. Figure 3 shows a flow diagram for a receiver measurement
test and the resulting output plot, showing the signal peak at 10 MHz.
High-level T&M algorithms can be easily developed in conventional programming
languages, including C/C++ and Python.

flowgraph and the output display.



SDRs can solve several challenges related to T&M implementation. Firstly, the
wide instantaneous bandwidth provided by high-end SDRs (high-bandwidth SDRs can
reach up to 3 GHz) allows the measurement of a large set of frequencies for
spectrum visualization. Secondly, the high-speed streaming of data to the host
or server is extremely useful for backhaul testing in satellite and mobile
networks. High-performance SDRs use 100 Gbps qSFP+ Ethernet links to transmit
data. The FPGA-based backend allows the implementation of parallel signal
processing and decoding very high data/symbol rate transmissions over several
channels. Finally, the reconfigurability of SDRs provides more robustness in
terms of equipment damage and upgradability.

Examples Of Test And Measurement Situations Using An SDR

There are several examples, in both literature and industry, of how T&M systems
can be implemented using SDR devices. For instance, they are extremely useful in
signal propagation tests. Signal propagation studies can evaluate how much
signal is lost due to absorption and scattering caused by obstacles and are
fundamental to verify the suitability of the device for a given frequency,
range, and application. This is particularly important in 5G, due to propagation
limitations of mmWaves. Over-the-air (OTA) measurements of RF performance
concerning beamforming are often necessary to ensure quality of service (QoS).
The basic setup for propagation T&M typically involves an anechoic chamber,
which can be configured for different protocols. In these tests, the SDR can be
used as both Tx (for signal generation) and Rx (for signal measurement) devices,
able to evaluate antenna and device performance under very controlled
conditions. Path loss and power delay profiles are examples of performance
indexes that can be measured using SDRs. Many studies have shown the ability of
SDR-based T&M devices to analyze the performance in 5G bands (including 28 GHz)
in indoor environments, including offices, stairwells, corridors, and
laboratories.

SDRs can also be applied in GPS simulators, used to test whether a GPS
application is working correctly in terms of positioning, timing, and
navigation. The RF community has developed open-source options for GPS
simulation, such as the GPS-SDR-SIM application that can be executed in the host
system. This program allows the user to create a trajectory sequence in either a
CSV file, containing Earth-centered Earth-fixed (ECEF) positions, a stream of
NMEA GGA sentences, or a fixed position via command line. Satellite
constellation can be specified by the user, using a daily GPS broadcast
ephemeris file, which is then used to simulate the Doppler and the pseudorange
for that specific satellite constellation and provide digital I/Q samples for
the signal. After signal generation, the user can play these files on the SDR Tx
chain, which acts as a T&M tool in a variety of performance evaluations,
including processing capabilities and receiver signal strength.

One of the most useful applications of SDR-based T&M is in antenna measurement,
due to the SDR’s ability to easily generate and receive multiple signals from
several independent channels. The key performance index of any antenna is the
radiation pattern. The pattern diagram shows the amount of electromagnetic
energy emitted and received by an antenna in any direction, so that the function
and directivity of an antenna can be obtained from it. T&M allows the
experimental acquisition of radiation data to evaluate the radiation pattern of
an antenna, which is fundamental to assess efficiency. For instance, a study
from the Amrita School of Engineering has demonstrated the use of SDR platforms
running under GNU Radio to evaluate the performance of microstrip antennas. In
this setup, an omnidirectional antenna source transmitted a well-defined 1.42
GHz, whereas the antenna under test rotated on top of a platform controlled by a
stepper motor. The rotation allows the measurement of radiation in all
directions. The microstrip antenna under test was connected to the SDR/GNU
system for radiation pattern and power spectrum analysis, which were used to
calculate Half Power Beam Width and Front to Back ratio. Conventional methods
require several specialized devices that are hard to adapt for different
applications, and this study demonstrated the viability of using a much cheaper,
precise, flexible, and automated alternative based on SDRs.

The software nature of SDRs provides another huge advantage over analog
approaches: automation. Because of the digital unit and the host communication
interface, SDRs can automatically perform pre-programmed sequences of T&M
protocols without the need for human intervention. Not only does this
significantly improve the speed and cost of each T&M run, but also increases the
reproducibility of results by eliminating human error. In laboratories, the
tests can be programmed considering power thresholds and sequence of events to
avoid damaging the RF components. Also, it can be performed remotely by test
engineers via IP connection, by integrating the SDRs into the local servers of
the laboratory, which is extremely convenient for exhaustive test protocols.
Automation is also useful for field T&M, by allowing the pre-programming of
sequences of signals in the SDR Tx channels and automatic operation of RF
devices in remote locations, such as cell towers for coverage area assessment.

In the 5G networking, calibration and measurement are fundamental to ensure
reliable operation and QoS. SDRs can easily perform calibration algorithms for
radio transceivers, optimizing, for instance, DC offsets, quadrature imbalances,
and filter bandwidth. They can also implement power management algorithms to
control power modes, power-down sequencing, and current/voltage limitations.
Management of power circuits is also important for beamforming and
beam-steering, which are key technologies in 5G. Propagation studies of 5G
antenna arrays, including near field patterns, polarization measurements, and
beam-shaping, can be performed using high-end MIMO SDR devices with the minimum
amount of equipment. Finally, SDR-based T&M can implement network testing in 5G
architectures, measuring the effectiveness of DSP algorithms in retrieving data
coming from simultaneous EU, call/data access rates, and mobile network
latency. 

SDRs Offer Lower SWaP Test And Measurement Solution

The ever-evolving RF technologies in the 5G and IoT era require a huge effort in
the development of test & measurement equipment, crucial for reliable assessment
of performance indexes and product certification. With new devices, algorithms,
and communication protocols arriving every week, conventional T&M techniques are
becoming obsolete, due to the high number of specialized devices involved and
their inability to upgrade and update their functions. SDRs provide a
general-purpose approach, allowing the implementation of several different T&M
functions in only one COTS device, able to be upgraded and updated on the fly
using software-based functions. This provides the flexibility and robustness
required by the modern T&M industry, while also decreasing long-term costs due
to the reduction in the amount of necessary hardware. SDRs also come in a
variety of SWaP specifications, allowing them to be implemented in a wide range
of T&M applications, from remote ground stations to onboard satellite units.
Both the industry and academic literature provide examples of SDR uses in the
T&M field, including antenna characterization, 5G network calibration, automated
laboratory setups, propagation studies, and GPS simulation. With the upcoming
technological leap powered by 5G and IoT, SDRs are the best way to keep yourself
updated in the T&M industry.
