FPGA Controlled Amplifier Module
PC-based Spectrum Analyzer
May06-14
Abstract
Previous senior design teams developed an amplifier board for Teradyne Corporation. This board will boost the input signal to a computer-based spectrum analyzer also designed by a previous senior
design team. The assembly of the amplifier needs to be finished, and the board must be successfully powered up and debugged. Teradyne needs this board to be thoroughly tested to ensure it will
meet specifications. Solutions should be proposed for any errors discovered during testing, and as time allows, these solutions should be implemented and the board re-tested.

Summary
The FPGA Controlled Amplifier Module will provide a high-quality amplified input signal to the computer-based spectrum analyzer. Rigorous testing and will ensure that the amplifier board can provide
this input signal with sufficient gain and bandwidth, and minimal distortion and noise. The tests will result in a list of improvements and corrections that can be made to the board in order to meet or
improve the performance specifications.
