Data Acquisition (DAQ) is the measurement of electrical or physical things like voltage, current, temperature, pressure, sound, or motion. Converting these signals into digital data is necessary to analyze and store them for further processing. DAQ systems are essential for a wide range of applications, from scientific research and industrial automation to environmental monitoring and medical …

This hardware/software pair provides many ways to characterize RF signals up to 6.2 GHz, well beyond the output capabilities of the Raspberry Pi. Let's look at a few common RF measurements to get an idea of what characterization is possible, and examine the output of the Raspberry Pi.
Carrier Frequency
A carrier frequency is the base frequency that will be modulated in an RF signal. Without any …

The Test and Measurement (T&M) equipment industry has been changing quickly in recent years. As electronic devices have become more complex, testing and validation has become a highly complicated process for many companies. The demand for faster data rates has increased the amount of time needed by engineering teams to validate new technologies, often causing substantial delays in product time-to …
Modern radar signals make use of intra-pulse modulation or modulation on pulse (MOP), such as a linear frequency modulation (LFM), or some form of phase modulation (such as a bi-phase Barker code) to improve range resolution. They also include modulation on pulse to occupy more bandwidth and thus decrease the probability of intercept (POI). Additionally, intra-pulse modulation can include some …
