STUDY OF REMOTE VIRTUALFREQUENCY SWEEPER BASEDONFPGA AND FLEX TECHNOLOGY

To solve the problem that traditional instruments are cumbersome to carry and that traditional experimental teaching is limited by time,space and the lack of instruments,a method which combines Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA) and Flex technology to realize the remote virtual frequency sweeper is proposed.The overall framework of the system and the software and hardware structure are introduced.In the hardware part,the advanced RISC Machine(ARM) and FPGA is used to be the control center and the Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer(DDS) technology is adopted to generate sweeping frequency signal source.The software development platform is based on Flex which support the development and deployment of Rich Internet Application(RIA).And the software design procedure is elaborated.Based on the Browser/Server(B/S) structure,the system can realize real-time operation,getting real measured data and real time display from remote network.The results of example test indicate that this system can realize the functions of traditional frequency sweeper,the frequency resolution of the signal source can reach 0.093 Hz,and the frequency range is from 0.093 Hz to 1 MHz,which can test the amplitude-frequency characteristic of linear time invariant system directly and draw amplitude-frequency curve relatively.
