A High Performance Baseband Testing Instrument for Access Network System: A PXI-Based Approach

Abstract:

High performance network over coax (HINOC) is a recently proposed technology which plays a central role in the integration of telecommunications networks, cable TV networks and the Internet. But there still is a lack of comprehensive testing equipment designed for it yet, especially in baseband signal testing area. In this paper, we designed a high performance baseband signal transmitter and analyzer for HINOC system test. The system is implemented as hardware and software co-design architecture. Both of the baseband signal transmitter and analyzer have passed a series of rigorous tests, which demonstrates that the whole system meets the HINOC test specification and can provide great assistance for follow-up HINOC research.
