Refer to the TDS3000 & TDS3000B Series Application

Module Installation Instructions for instructions on

installing and testing the application module.

Introduction

The FFT application module adds FFT (Fast Fourier

Transform) measurement capabilities to your oscillo-

scope. The FFT process mathematically converts the

standard time-domain signal (repetitive or single-shot

acquisition) into its frequency components, providing

spectrum analysis capabilities.

Being able to quickly look at a signal’s frequency

components and spectrum shape is a powerful research

and analysis tool. FFT is an excellent troubleshooting aid

for:

HTesting impulse response of filters and systems

HMeasuring harmonic content and distortion in

systems

HIdentifying and locating noise and interference

sources

HAnalyzing vibration

HAnalyzing harmonics in 50 and 60 Hz power lines

FFT Features

The FFT application module provides the following

features:

FFT Windows

Four FFT windows (Rectangular, Hamming, Hanning,

and Blackman-Harris) let you match the optimum

window to the signal you are analyzing. The Rectangular

window is best for nonperiodic events such as transients,

pulses, and one-shot acquisitions. The Hamming,

Hanning, and Blackman-Harris windows are better for

periodic signals.

Analyze Repetitive, Single-Shot, and Stored Waveforms

You can display an FFT waveform on any actively-ac-

quired signal (periodic or one-shot), the last acquired

signal, or any signal stored in reference memory.

dB or Linear RMS Scales

The FFT vertical graticule can be set to either dB or

Linear RMS. A dB scale is useful when the frequency

component magnitudes cover a wide dynamic range,

letting you show both lesser and greater- magnitude

frequency components on the same display. A Linear

scale is useful when the frequency component magni-

tudes are all close in value, allowing direct comparison

of their magnitudes.

Time Signals and FFT Waveforms Displayed Together

The time signals and FFT waveforms can be shown

together on the display. The time signal highlights the

problem; the FFT waveform helps you determine the

cause of the problem.

Displaying an FFT Waveform

1. Set the source signal Vertical SCALE so that the

signal peaks do not go off screen. Off-screen signal

peaks can result in FFT waveform errors.

2. Set the Horizontal SCALE control to show five or

more cycles of the source signal. Showing more

cycles means the FFT waveform shows more

frequency components, provides better frequency

resolution, and reduces aliasing.

If the signal is a single-shot (transient) signal, make

sure that the entire signal (transient event and ringing

or noise) is displayed and centered on the screen.

3. Push the Vertical MATH button to show the math

menu.

4. Push the FFT screen button to show the FFT side

menu.

5. Select a signal source. You can do an FFT on any

channel or any stored reference waveform.

6. Select the appropriate vertical scale and FFT window.

7. Use zoom controls and the cursors to magnify and

measure the FFT waveform.

HSignals that have a DC component or offset can cause

incorrect FFT waveform component magnitude

values. To minimize the DC component, choose AC

Coupling on the source signal.

HTo reduce random noise and aliased components in

repetitive or single-shot events, set the oscilloscope

acquisition mode to average over 16 or more samples.

Average mode attenuates signals not synchronized

with the trigger.

HDo not use the Average acquisition mode if the

source signal contains frequencies of interest that are

not synchronized with the trigger rate.

HDo not use Peak Detect and Envelope modes with

FFT. Peak Detect and Envelope modes can add

significant distortion to the FFT results.

HFor transient (impulse, one-shot) signals, set the

oscilloscope to trigger on the transient pulse in order

to center the pulse information in the waveform

record.

FFT Source Key Points

HPush the side menu button to select the source.

HUsing FFT slows down the oscilloscope’s response

time in Normal acquisition mode (10k record length).

HA waveform acquired in Normal acquisition mode

has a lower noise floor and better frequency

resolution than a waveform acquired in Fast Trigger

mode.

FFT Vertical Scale Key Points

HPush the side menu button to select a scale. Available

scales are dBV RMS and Linear RMS.

HUse the Vertical POSITION and SCALE knobs to

vertically move and rescale the FFT waveform.

HTo display FFT waveforms with a large dynamic

range, use the dBV RMS scale. The dBV scale

displays component magnitudes using a log scale,

expressed in dB relative to 1 VRMS, where 0 dB =1

VRMS, or in source waveform units (such as amps for

current measurements).

HTo display FFT waveforms with a small dynamic

range, use the Linear RMS scale. The Linear RMS

scale lets you display and directly compare

components with similar magnitude values.

Nyquist Frequency Key Point

HTo determine the Nyquist frequency, push the

ACQUIRE menu button. This displays the current

sample rate on the bottom right area of the screen.

The Nyquist frequency is one-half of the sample rate.

For example, if the sample rate is 25.0 MS/s, then the

Nyquist frequency is 12.5 MHz.

Zooming an FFT Display. Use the Zoom button ,

along with horizontal POSITION and SCALE controls,

to magnify FFT waveforms. When you change the zoom

factor, the FFT waveform is horizontally magnified

about the center vertical graticule, and vertically magni-

fied about the math waveform marker. Zooming does not

affect the actual time base or trigger position settings.

NOTE. FFT waveforms are calculated using the

entire source waveform record. Zooming in on a

region of either the source or FFT waveform

will not recalculate the FFT waveform for that

region.

Measuring FFT Waveforms Using Cursors. You can use

cursors to take two measurements on FFT waveforms:

magnitude (in dB or signal source units) and frequency

(in Hz). dB magnitude is referenced to 0 dB, where 0 dB

equals 1 VRMS. Use horizontal cursors (H Bars) to

measure magnitude and vertical cursors (V Bars) to

measure frequency.

FFT Windows

Applying a window function to the source waveform

record changes the waveform so that the start and stop

values are close to each other, reducing FFT waveform

discontinuities. This results in an FFT waveform that

more accurately represents the source signal frequency

components. The ’shape’of the window determines how

well it resolves frequency or magnitude information.

Aliasing

Problems occur when the oscilloscope acquires a signal

containing frequency components that are greater than

the Nyquist frequency (1/2 the sample rate). The fre-

quency components that are above the Nyquist frequen-

cy are undersampled and appear to “fold back”around

the right edge of the graticule, showing as lower frequen-

cy components in the FFT waveform. These incorrect

components are called aliases.

Amplitude

Aliasedfrequencies Actualfrequencies

0 Hz Nyquistfrequency

(½sample rate)

Use the following methods to eliminate aliases:

HIncrease the sample rate by adjusting the Horizontal

SCALE to a faster frequency setting. Since you

increase the Nyquist frequency as you increase the

horizontal frequency, the aliased frequency

components should appear at their proper frequency.

If the increased number of frequency components

shown on the screen makes it difficult to measure

individual components, use the Zoom button to

magnify the FFT waveform.

HUse a filter on the source signal to bandwidth limit

the signal to frequencies below that of the Nyquist

frequency. If the components you are interested in are

below the built-in bandwidth settings (20 MHz

bandwidth for all oscilloscopes, 150 MHz bandwidth

for 300 MHz and 500 MHz oscilloscopes), set the

source signal bandwidth to the appropriate value.

Push the Vertical MENU button to access the source

channel bandwidth menu.
