Abstract
A device to extract digital and unintended analog signals from a data bus with a non-contact common mode probe and a differential mode probe, each with a low noise amplifier. The analog and digital signals can be monitored contemporaneously.
Claims24
A device to simultaneously extract and amplify unintended analog signals and digital signals on a data bus, the device comprising:
- a shielded coupler box having walls, an exterior, and an interior;
- a common mode probe (CMP) and a differential mode probe (DMP);
- a plurality of connectors through the walls of the shielded coupler box to receive cables exterior to the shielded coupler box, the plurality of connectors comprising:
- at least one input connector configured to receive each data bus wire pair exterior to the shielded coupler box, at least one data bus output connector configured to receive the each data bus wire pair exterior to the shielded coupler box, a power supply connector configured to receive a power source, a connector configured to receive a CMP output, and a connector configured to receive a DMP output;
- the each data bus wire pair comprising at least one unshielded wire pair having a first unshielded wire and a second unshielded wire, each attached to a data bus input connector and a data bus output connector interior to the shielded coupler box;
- the CMP having one of a non-contact CMP inductive coil and capacitive electrical probe in close proximity to both the first unshielded wire and second unshielded wire and the DMP having a first non-contact DMP inductive coil in dose proximity to the first unshielded wire and a second non-contact DMP inductive coil in close proximity to the second unshielded wire;
- a first conductor wound around the non-contact CMP inductive coil and a second conductor wound around first and second non-contact DMP inductive coils;
- a first Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) connected to said power supply connector, connected to the first conductor as an input and connected to the CMP output;
- and
- a second LNA connected to said power supply connector, connected to the second conductor and connected to said DMP output;
- the device designed to simultaneously extract and amplify unintended analog signals and digital signals on the data bus.
