\section{General Description}
|
|
The 4456 Synthesizer Mirny card is a 4hp EEM module part of the ARTIQ Sinara family.
|
|
It adds microwave generation capabilities to carrier cards such as 1124 Kasli and 1125 Kasli-SoC.
|
|
|
|
It provides 4 channels of PLL frequency synthesis.
|
|
Output frequency from 53 MHz to \textgreater 4 GHz are supported.
|
|
The range can be expanded up to 13.6 GHz with Almazny mezzanine.
|
|
Each channel can be attenuated from 0 to -31.5 dB by a digital attenuator.
|
|
RF switches on each channel provides at least 50 dB isolation.

digital attenuator IC (HMC542BLP4E\footnote{\label{attenuator}https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/hmc542b.pdf}).

Phase noise performance of Mirny was tested using an ADF4351 evaluation kit through a DIO-tester\repeatfootnote{mirny_thesis}.
|
|
Mirny is then connected to the RSA5100A spectrum analyzer for measurement.
|
|
|
|
Noise response spike can be improved by inserting a common-mode choke between the power supply and Mirny.
|
|
The following is a comparison between 2 setups at 1 GHz output:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Red: Before any modifications
|
|
\item Blue: Adding a CM choke with an 100 \textmu F capacitor after the CM choke
|
|
\end{itemize}

Phase noise at different output frequencies are then measured.

\section{Example ARTIQ code}
|
|
The sections below demonstrate simple usage scenarios of the 4456 Synthesizer Mirny card with the ARTIQ control system.
|
|
They do not exhaustively demonstrate all the features of the ARTIQ system.
|
|
The full documentation for the ARTIQ software and gateware is available at \url{https://m-labs.hk}.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{1 GHz Sinusoidal Wave}
|
|
Generate a 1 GHz sinusoid from RF0 with full scale amplitude, attenuated by 12 dB.
|
|
Both the CPLD and the PLL channels should be initialized.
|
|
|
|
\inputcolorboxminted{firstline=10,lastline=17}{examples/pll.py}
|
|
|
|
\subsection{ADF5356 Power Control}
|
|
Output power can be controlled be configuring the PLL channels individually, in addition to the digital attenuators.
|
|
After initialization of the PLL channel (ADF5356), the following line of code can change the output power level.
|
|
|
|
\inputcolorboxminted{firstline=28,lastline=28}{examples/pll.py}
|
|
|
|
The parameter corresponds to a specific change of output power according to the following table\repeatfootnote{adf5356}.
|
|
|
|
\begin{center}
|
|
\captionof{table}{Power changes from ADF5356}
|
|
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
|
|
\hline
|
|
Parameter & Power \\ \hline
|
|
0 & -4 dBm \\ \hline
|
|
1 & -1 dBm \\ \hline
|
|
2 & +2 dBm \\ \hline
|
|
3 & +5 dBm \\ \hline
|
|
\end{tabular}
|
|
\end{center}
|
|
|
|
ADF5356 gives +5 dBm by default. The stored parameter in ADF5356 can be read using the folowing line.
|
|
|
|
\inputcolorboxminted{firstline=29,lastline=29}{examples/pll.py}
|
|
|
|
\newpage
|
|
\subsection{Periodic 100\textmu s pulses}
|
|
The output can be toggled on and off periodically using the RF switches.
|
|
The following code emits a 100\textmu s pulse in every millisecond.
|
|
A microwave signal should be programmed in prior (such as the 1 GHz wave example).
|
|
|
|
