Safety Precautions
The following are general safety precautions that are not necessarily related to any specific
part or procedure, and do not necessarily appear elsewhere in this publication. These precautions must be thoroughly understood and apply to all phases of operation and maintenance.
WARNING
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating Personnel must at all times observe general safety precautions. Do not
replace components or make adjustments to the inside of the test equipment with the
high voltage supply turned on. To avoid casualties, always remove power.
WARNING
Shock Hazard
Do not attempt to remove the RF transmission line while RF power is present.
Capacitors can store a dangerous electrical charge. Avoid contact with all system
capacitors. If it is necessary to perform work near a system capacitor, be sure to discharge
the capacitor through a low resistance.
WARNING
Do Not Service Or Adjust Alone
Under no circumstances should any person reach into an enclosure for the purpose of
service or adjustment of equipment except in the presence of someone who is capable
of rendering aid.
WARNING
Safety Earth Ground
An uniterruptible earth safety ground must be supplied from the main power source to
test instruments. Grounding one conductor of a two conductor power cable is not
sufficient protection. Serious injury or death can occur if this grounding is not properly
supplied.
WARNING
Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern methods
of resuscitation.
WARNING
Remove Power
Observe general safety precautions. Do not open the instrument with the power on.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Bird Diagnostic System (BDS)
The Bird Diagnostic System (BDS) is a broadband (1 MHz to 500 MHz) RF monitoring and diagnostic system designed
to be used in a 50 or non-50 ohm environment. It is comprised of three components:
• In-line RF sensor
• A receiver that processes the real-time sensor data
• A cable that connects the sensor to the receiver
The sensor, which consists of passive, temperature stable components, is inserted into an RF delivery system where
it couples voltage and current signals and sends that data to the receiver through the cable assembly. The receiver
converts the incoming analog signal to digital data and then processes the data and makes it available to the communication port. The user’s system communicates with the receiver through the communication port.
There are two modes of operation:
• Standard Tracking Mode
• Spectral Search (Sweep) Mode
In both operating modes, there are two data monitoring modes:
• Low resolution data monitoring (8 bit ADC)
• High resolution data monitoring (12 bit ADC)
The BDS also has the capability to locate arc transients. These operating modes are explained in the following sections.
Standard Tracking Mode
In the Standard Tracking mode, the BDS collects voltage and current information for user specified fundamental frequencies. Up to five fundamental frequencies can be specified to monitor. For each fundamental frequency, up to 15
harmonic frequencies can also be monitored (in addition to the fundamental) and a subset of up to 6 mixing products can also be monitored. The BDS reports voltage amplitude, current amplitude, and phase information as a data
set for each specified fundamental frequency.
Example - Select 2 MHz as the first fundamental frequency (F1) and 13.56 MHz as the second fundamental frequency (F2), and specify two harmonics for F1 (H1 and H2) and one harmonic for F2 (H1), the results
would be grouped as a set for each fundamental frequency as shown in the following table (note that H0 is
the same as the fundamental frequency and that N represents the N

Spectral Search (Sweep) Operating Mode
The Spectral Search (Sweep) Mode is used to get an overall view of the spectral components in a given frequency band. It
sweeps across a frequency band, from start to stop frequency, displaying the amplitude at each frequency step.
The user defines the frequency band by entering a start frequency, a stop frequency, and a step increment. The BDS
produces power spectral density information for each detected frequency in the band in accordance with the step
increment value (Fig. 1).
Figure 1 Spectral Search (Sweep) Operating Mode
Arc Detection
The BDS has the ability to locate and report arc/transient events. The user can define the parameters of what a transient
may look like in their system, specifying arc length, and impulse change in dB. This feature is available in both Standard
Tracking and Spectral Search modes and in both 12-bit and 8-bit resolution.

BDS Sensors
The BDS requires a non-intrusive passive RF sensor. The sensor is purchased separately based upon the specifications of the end user’s requirements.

Theory of Operation
The Bird Diagnostic System (BDS) is a real-time RF measurement system that consists of a sensor, a sensor cable, and a
receiver. The sensor is mounted in the host system’s RF delivery system where it simultaneously measures voltage and
current (both magnitude and phase of each) and sends the data to the receiver. Each component of the BDS (sensor,
sensor cable, receiver) is calibrated separately and contains its own calibration constants which permits interchangeability without recalibration. A sensor, sensor cable, or receiver can be replaced with minimal loss of accuracy.
The receiver processes the sensor data and makes it available to the communication ports. The receiver consists of RF input
conditioning circuits, A/D converters, a high-speed signal processor, and input / output connectors (Figure 3, page 3).
The A/D converters convert the analog RF signal to digital information for processing; the high-speed signal processor converts the signal from the time domain to the frequency domain while maintaining the correct phase relationship of each harmonic to its fundamental frequency.
The output of the BDS contains information about the RF including up to five fundamental frequencies (amplitude of
both voltage and current and their phase for each fundamental frequency) and up to 15 overtones for each fundamental frequency (amplitude of both voltage and current and their phase for each harmonic, and also the phase relationship of each harmonic to the voltage component of its specific fundamental frequency). With this data set (voltage,
current, and phase), power ( ) and impedance ( ) can be determined for each fundamental and harmonic frequency.
Users can choose number of fundamental frequencies (up to five) and associated harmonics (up to 15 for each fundamental frequency) that are acquired and processed. Choosing a small number of fundamental and harmonic frequencies reduces the computing time and, therefore, provides output data faster than choosing a larger number of
fundamental and harmonic frequencies. See “Frequency Tracking” on page 40.
The host system can communicate with the BDS receiver through any of the methods outlined in Communication
Options, page 3.

Installing the Receiver
The receiver has cooling fans inside and air vents on both ends of the case. For proper operation, be sure to install
the receiver in a location that permits free air flow around and through the unit (Figure 1).
Place the receiver in a suitable location within the length of the cables from the sensor. The receiver can be installed
free standing or secured in place using the six mounting holes in the bottom of the case. To secure the receiver in
place, first remove the four rubber feet then secure the unit using 6-32 screws that will not extend inside the
receiver case more than one inch (1.0 in or 25.4 mm). (Figure 2).
The BDS receiver requires an external +24 V DC power source for operation. The operating voltage is supplied
through the Power In +24V connector located on the reat side of the reciever.

Chapter 3 Operating Instructions
Overview
The BDS GUI is used to configure the BDS receiver and obtain measurement data from the system. There are two
modes of operation: Standard Tracking and Spectral Search. In addition, the BDS provides arc/transient detection
capability that is available in both operating modes.
There are two sampling resolutions for all modes: 8-bit, 1G sample/second, and 12-bit, 200M sample/second.
• The 12-bit sampling mode allows for a 1-100 MHz tracking range with a wider dynamic range, higher accu-
racy, and better repeatability than the 8-bit mode.
• The 8-bit mode allows for a wider tracking range of 1-500MHz at the expense of narrower dynamic range
and less repeatability as compared to 12-bit mode.
The BDS accurately measures voltage (V), current (I) and phase (P) in both Standard Tracking and Spectral Search operating
modes. The BDS GUI uses these three basic parameters to derive other quantities such as power and impedance.

Establishing a Connection to the BDS Receiver
These instructions cover connecting to the receiver using a direct PC-to-receiver Ethernet connection on port 1 (left port).
1. Connect an Ethernet cable connected from the PC to port 1 on receiver.
Note: It does not have to be a crossover cable, the BDS will auto-negotiate the
hardware.
2. Apply power to the BDS receiver.
3. Confirm that the yellow LED (the one on right) of port 1 is illuminated.
4. Wait for the BDS to finish booting.
Note: The four status LED’s on the front panel will all turn green when the BDS
is ready (GGGG).
Note: If there is not a probe connected, the following pattern will be displayed:
GGGY. Any other pattern indicates a possible system failure. See “Status LEDs”
on page 13 for more information.
5. Using the BDS GUI, Select “Connection->New…” from the main menu.
6. Enter the following IP address of port 1 in the “Address:” field: 192.168.0.151
7. Click the “Connect” button.
Note: “CONNECTED” should be displayed in the left-most indicator field of the
main status bar at the bottom of the application window.
Note: The BDS GUI will save your connection settings as defaults. If disconnected from the receiver, a connection can be reestablished by either clicking the
“Connection” icon, using “Connection->Open”, or simply by starting a data
acquisition. This also works on subsequent launches of the BDS GUI application.
For more information see the "Connection Options" on page 10.
There are two modes of operation with the Bird GUI: Standard Tracking and Spectral Search (Sweep). In addition, the
BDS also has arc detection capability that is available in both operating modes. In all modes data is captured in 12-bit
hi-resolution (Hi-res) or in 8-bit low-resolution (Low-res).
Connection Options
The BDS GUI communicates with the receiver over Ethernet. In order to establish a connection to the BDS receiver you
first need to make sure that the receiver must be on the subnet (it has an IP address that is addressable by the PC).
