Python-Based Instrument Automation for Advanced RF/Microwave Measurements
The advances in open-source programming, low-cost electronics, and remote control of electronic test and measurement equipment provide the ability to perform repeatable, detailed, and thorough measurements of complex RF components and systems. The electromagnetic sensing team at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed powerful RF measurement automation tools for characterizing the performance of RF amplifiers, DC power systems, switch matrices, antenna arrays, and transceivers. These tools significantly enable rapid development of advanced millimeter-wave imaging systems. This presentation will cover the background, motivation, and examples of automated RF measurements.

Jonathan Tedeschi
Senior Electrical Engineer, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, WA
Biography:
Jonathan Tedeschi is a senior electrical engineer in the Disruptive Technology group within the National Security Directorate at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. He currently serves as Principal Investigator and Lead RF Engineer for Special Programs and DHS projects. He has extensive experience in the design and analysis of broadband frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar systems. He is an expert in the use of electromagnetic signal measurement equipment for characterizing and validating radar and component performance. He has experience leading major project tasks and providing technical leadership within large projects. Jonanthan is a lead and contributing author to multiple US patents and publications. His current research activities and interest involve advances in high-speed ultra-broadband radar system design, deployment of novel holographic radar imaging prototype systems, digital signal processing and hardware designs for signal intelligence gathering, and measurement automation for RF system characterization.
