Design of A Multifunctional Multi-Control Signal Output Tool
This article presents a convenient multi-channel serial/parallel signal control tool,which has programmable and fast manual configuration functions,suitable for functional testing and performance evaluation of multi-channel electronic components.The design concept mainly utilizes FPGA to generate serial/parallel control signals,and uses relays and matrix switches to achieve multi-channel power supply and microwave RF signal gating.In addition,the embedded electronic touch screen controller replaces the upper computer for convenient manual configuration,to achieve key performance testing of multi-channel microwave integrated circuits such as CNC attenuators,microwave switches,RF transceiver chips,etc.This article provides a detailed introduction to the design concept and software and hardware implementation methods of the testing tool.Through simulation testing and experimental verification,it has been confirmed that the tool has achieved its initial design goals.
