Implementation of a multi-client network analyzer for BLOOD (bachelor thesis)
Bachelor thesis (fall 2024), Trapped Ion Quantum Information Group, Profs. Lukas Novotny and Jonathan Home: integrated a network-analyzer module into BLOOD’s Red Pitaya FPGA, C++ server, and multi-client stack so laser feedback loops can be characterised without external gear. Validated PyRPL-style analysis against Analog Discovery 2, implemented sweep/I/Q flows with multi-client safety, matched Bode plots to PyRPL—closed-loop transfer-function measurement inside BLOOD for leaner lab workflows. Listed on TIQI’s public semester-theses page.
Result
Validated closed-loop Bode measurement inside BLOOD, reducing the need for extra lab instrumentation.
