Many customers use only a small portion of the capabilities of the Venable Frequency Response Analyzer and related software. Listed below are the most common and not so common applications related to the Venable FRA System.
Measure loop gain and phase shift versus frequency (called a Bode plot or transfer function) of any power supply feedback loop, providing numeric display of phase and gain margins.
Measure the transfer function of any piece of a power supply feedback loop (plant/modulator or compensation/feedback).
Synthesize a compensation network for an analog power supply feedback loop to achieve the exact bandwidth and phase margin required on the first try!
Generate Digital Coefficients for a compensator for the digital power supply feedback loop that achieves the exact bandwidth and phase margin required.
Create the predicted overall feedback loop by mathematically combining error amplifier model results and the plant measurement. Determine if the synthesized compensation meets the required bandwidth and phase margin. Then, add compensation to the power supply and measure the feedback loop. Overlay model and test results to quickly and easily determine if requirements are met. Tweak the compensator model until achieving the overall results required.
Measure the source and/or load impedance in an AC or DC distributed power system.
Measure impedance versus frequency of components, including calibrating the fixture and mathematically correcting the measured data to display actual circuit values.
Measure the impedance of passive components using the RLC Option.
Measure the transfer function of any passive or active filter.
Model the frequency response of any circuit.
Save test setups and test data for repeating the same test with the same conditions, at a later date.
