Python Lab Experiments - 10.7 MHz Bandpass


Arduino Lab Automation Example / Exercise




Arduino and Python in da Lab




✈ Minimum Equipment List (MEL)




DEVICESREMARKS
SynthesizerFrequency Source, e.g. Ningmod
Levelmetermeasures Power in dBm, e.g. Wanmod
D.U.T.Anything with an interesting Amplitude Response


We used only Arduino™ based devices here, as this simplifies the Python Script.
(PyVISA is covered in a later exercise).




✈ Goal • learning content




• Control multiple devices in a loop
• Plot graphs

Simple Sketch to Sweep Ningmod from F1 to F2
This one also sweeps the Receiver Wanmod and graphs the RSSI

Python Lab Experiments

Above : Crystal Test Fixture.

Below : Frequency Response of Quartz Crystals. Clearly visisble is Fs an Fp.


Randomly chosen 20 MHz crystal, P : -20 dBm
also randomly chosen 20 MHz crystal, P : -10 dBm


Python Lab Experiments

Above : DIY Crystal Bandpass

Below : Frequency Response of that 10.7 MHz Thing (left)


DIY Crystal Filter Response, Span = 30 kHz
