Now, with our
“New” Model ATI-100 you can turn your existing Matrix Signal Generator and
Switchable Filter Bank into a full-blown DTS (Distortion Test System). Plug and play is
the word, just plug in your Multiple Frequency Signal Generator, Switchable
Filter Bank, Spectrum Analyzer, Oscilloscope, Power Meter, Frequency Counter,
etc. to allow the following automatic testing with a single
insertion of DUT (device under test):
- Leveling of carriers.
- Automated Cross Modulation, CTB, CSO, C/N, Discrete 2nd Order, and
Discrete 3rd Order distortion measurements.
- FFT Square Law method intermodulation distortion measurements with
FFT analyzer.
- Carrier to Composite Noise, Carrier to Intermodulation Noise, Bit
Error Rate, and MER with Matrix ASX-16QAM-FA
generator or Matrix High Level Shaped Broadband Noise source, and a QAM
demodulator.
- Ultra sensitive Hum Modulation Measurements (with built-in HD-500 Hum Demodulator).
- Noise Figure Measurements (with
built-in noise source).
Additionally, the software included with the ATI-100
provides:
- Software control of Model AFS-12WB
filter bank functions.
- Database maintained Test Results.
- Automatic spreadsheet generation and charting from database with
out-of-limit values flagged.
- Frequency Trim for random dispersion of carriers.
- Improved repeatability and reliability.
- Beat Chart Calculator Utility
Options:
- Production Software Interface for high volume
testing.
Model ATI-100 Computer Control Software
Interface

Above software interface allows the control and
automated switching of the following:
- Matrix Model ASX-16 generator and noise source(s)
- Digital signal sources (built-in hybrid coupler for combining with
analog source)
- Matrix Model AFS-12WB Filter Selector
- Built-in post amplifiers. Software
implemented intelligent post amplifier control allows selection of 1 or 2
amplifiers during testing to maintain proper measurement levels
- Spectrum analyzer(s)
- Built-in Squaring circuit for FFT measurements with Audio Output
connector.
- Power meter
- Built-in Matrix HD-500
hum detector.
- Frequency counter
- RF Attenuators
In addition, switching is provided for automatic
disconnection and termination of the test equipment to determine corrections for
test equipment noise contribution in C/N measurements.
RF Test Point connections are provided for
troubleshooting the RF path.
