Example: Sine WaveOLD Style analog scope: How to measure Vo and Vpp

5

OLD Analog Scope:it was hard to measure Vo (where is Zero Line ???)it is much easier to measure Vpp (from lower to upper signal level. (use “fingers”)

Vertical signal shift is not important here (explain why) + explain why scope must be calibrated & zeroed before usage if Vo must be measured

Vpp is more “universal” concept than amplitude.It is not always obvious where the “amplitude is”, but Vpp can be easily evaluated

In case of noise: Vpp can be “easily” “evaluated” approximately, by human eye, but this may be good enough

Modern Digital scope: How to measure Vpp

6

Modern digital scopes has a special means (cursors)+ menu for math operations (V1+V2, V1-V2, etc.)

Digital scope store signal as an array.Simple algorithm can find Min and Max values in the relevant time interval automatically.Then Vpp = Max – Min can be presented.

Another (more sophisticated) algorithm can find closest local minimum and local maximum.But this algorithm may fail in case of noise In some cases digital scope “automatic” calculations may be wrong

Example: Sine WaveModern Digital scope: How to measure Vpp. Problems

7

Be sure that signal is clean from noise and not distorted when providing automated measurements with digital scopes

“averaging” function can be usedHumans are still better in noise cleaning

than simple “computer algorithms.

Beware of “alias” when “signal frequency is close Nyquist Frequency High quality analog LPF Filter is a must before ADC

You must be professional EE to properly use “simple and automatic” digital scope

10

Much More detailed tables are practically used:Frequency range is a valued strategic resource today – like oil

Many abbreviations and buzz names

For Exact definitions see LAST official materials


11

Polite advice: never “invent” words like Super, Very Hugh, Ultra High etc.In a number of years this will looks funnyExample: SVGA of 1989 : 1024x768

IMPORTANT:Never transmit RF before checking rules and possible punishment(s)

Practical Example of Sine WaveElectronics: Practical Voltage ranges

12

For Exact definitions see LAST official materials

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines low voltage as any voltage in the range

50–1000 V AC or 120–1500 V DC.

For Electronics those voltages are very High (especially 1500 V)

We will not speak about voltages above ~ 50 V (except limited number of cases)

Typical laboratory signal generator generates voltages in the range1 mV – 50 V

Sometimes signals are smaller ~ 10 uV (mkV, mV)

Dealing with signals smaller then 1 uV (mkV) is very problematicbecause of noise

Arduino UNO R3:Never apply voltage< 0 V and/or >5 V

to Arduino pins

Some Arduino boards uses 3.3 V

Practical Example of Sine WaveElectronics: Practical Sensors Voltage ranges

13

In the typical educational Electronics Laboratory practical voltage limit is ~ 10 mV

Do Experiment: while using scope try to position cellular phone near wires and call some other telephone.

What will You see ? What about lamps, motors of air conditioner, etc…

Q1. Why Faraday cage may be useful ?

Q2. Why Shielded wires are used ?

Many analog sensors produces signal < 1 mV filters, amplifiers, and sophisticated algorithms must be used

Example of Sine WaveElectronics: deciBell (dB)

14

The DeciBell (dB) originates from methods used to quantify reductions in audio levels in telephone circuits (~1920).

Original definition is for Power.

For Voltages

For example: V1 = 1V, V0 = 100 mV; Then VdB = 20 dB

Example of Sine WaveElectronics: deciBell (dB)

15

The deciBell is also commonly used as a measure of gain or attenuation

dB units are used when we want to compare (and plot) different Voltagesin case the voltages can vary in a wide scale (say, from uV to V)

Warning: Exact practical definition of dB contains some specific details concerning cable resistanceWe omitted this for now.

Q1: PdB = +10 dB. What Relative Increase of Power is ? A = 10The same for the Voltage ? A= 20

Q2: PdB is 30 dB. ? A = 10* log (10^3) = 10*3 The same for Voltage ? A = 60

Example of Sine WaveElectronics: dBm

16

Important unit is dBm: abbreviation for the power ratio in dB when P0 is 1 mW (milliWatt)

Example: 0dBm means Power of 1 mW.+3dBm is ~ 2mW; -3dBm means 0.5 mW

Some additional examples: Typical transmitter of FM radio with 50 km range is ~ 100 kW 80 dBm

Typical thermal radiation emitted by a human body ~ 100W 50 dBm

Maximum output of Class 1 mobile phone ~ 2W 33 dBm(Can You boil popcorn with this ?)

WiFi transmission power in laptops ~ 32 mW 15 dBm

At least remember order of those numbers when non-professionals(which never learned logarithms)

discuss radiation issues. Beware when business or political interests of any kinds are used

in scientific or technological discussion

Demonstrate how EE can prove for uneducated auditoryanything he/she wants: (example of Dog on the Mars weak effect)

Example of ImportantAnalog Voltage Signal: Pulse Wave (Square Wave)(Compare with sin wave)

18

Q1: Can one use RMS with Pulse Wave ?A: Yes, but this is not sqrt(2)

!!!! (Simple) integral must be calculated!!!

Pulse Wave Signal looks like “Digital” signal, but is widely used in Analog Electronics

Example of Important Analog Voltage Signal: Biased (Shifted) Sin and Pulse Wave

19

Concepts:Bias, Offset, DC Shift

Explain DC shift: bias: +DC

Q1. Propose simple circuit havingDC battery, resistors and capacitorsFor DC-Biasing of SIN signal

Arduino Analog pins accepts signals in the range {0..5 V}. Q. How to cope with negative part of the signals ?

Example of ImportantAnalog Voltage Signal: Sawtooth Wave

20

This signal is used in the Analog Electronics

to check linearity(details later)

Digital Version of this signal is used in some ADC designs(details later)

Laboratory Instrument: Laboratory Signal Generator

21

Generates Sin, Pulse, Sawtooth, Triangle + many others useful waves

Bias (Offset) can be set

Generally signal amplitude can be set but can not be measured

It is assumed that amplitude is measured by attached oscilloscope

22

Q1: How to evaluate Frequency for presented signals ?Q2: Do You see that p-p

can be easily evaluatedfor any of those signals

whereas amplitudeevaluation is problematic ?

Virtual Laboratory Instruments (simulation): Usage of Oscilloscope & Signal Generator

23

Explain how Bias (Ofset) can be set, what duty cycle isExplain: Simulation is actually DIGITAL, in some situations simulation can be WRONGEE can not rely on simulation only !!!!!

Analog Signal: MeasurementsLaboratory Instruments: Multimeter, Signal Generator & Oscilloscope

24

Q1: Can you use Multimeter to measure frequency & magnitudes of the signal ?

Example of Important Analog Voltage Signal:qt, H(t), u(t) Heaviside (step) function

25

Maple default definition

Above is “non-electronic”Analog signal must be defined for any t (or x) Black magic must be used:

Problem: Voltage is changedTOO Fast

Which means that electrons must change their speed in 0 time a == infinity Force == infinity

Example of Important Analog Voltage Signal:qt, H(t), u(t) Heaviside (step) functionMore realistic “Analog” definition

26

F1:=proc(t,s) if t < -s/2 then 0

elif t > s/2 then 1else 1/2+t/s

fi end:

27

When s 0 , F1(t) q(t)

This way EE may imagine“real” but very “fast” switch

(Math presentation of an Electric Switch)

Example of Important Theoretical Analog Voltage Signal:Dirac dt function

29

MAPLE old definition:The Dirac(t) delta function is defined as zero everywhere

except at t = 0 where it has a singularity.It also has the property that Integral(Dirac(t),t = -infinity..infinity) = 1

Looks NON-ALGORITHMIC.

MAPLE new definitions:

In all these formulas epsilon representsa sufficiently small real number.

In practical applications, as soon as epsilon becomes negligible compared to the x values involved in the problem,

it becomes impossible to distinguishbetween these alternative representations


30

F2:=proc(t,s)if t < -s/2 then 0

elif t > s/2 then 0else 1/s
