Description
One of the major benefit of a MicroTCA.4 system is to combine high-speed
digital data processing AMC boards with high precision analog signal conditioning
RTM boards. In this presentation we show high precision measurements using
different grounding configurations, particularly for AMC and RTM Z3 ac-coupled
differential signal transmission for the detection and regulation of high frequency
signals and broadband dc-coupled signal conditioning on RTMs. We present EMC
concepts, sources of distortions, detectors signal purity, its channel scaling
behavior, signal integrity and the packaging required for measurements far
below -80dB.
In addition we compare the partitioning of high precision sub-components in
modular standards and its impact on the robustness and reliability for the
operation.
