5. I/Q Baseband Playback through a Vector Signal Generator (VSG):
a. Connect the IQC5000 SMA
analog I baseband output to the analog I baseband input on the VSG.
b. Connect the IQC5000 S
MA analog Q baseband output to the analog Q baseband input on the VSG.
c. Connect an antenna or cable to the RF OUT of the VSG, and link
it to the desired target.
d. Connect power cable to the VSG.
e. Power on the VSG.
f. Configure the VSG to mix the I/Q signal and modulate it to the
desired frequency.
6. Fixed Frequency Playback from the IQC5000:
a. Connect the IQC5000 SMA RF output
to the desired target.
7. Power on the Units:
a. (Option: External Storage Units) Power on External Storage Unit
1 and External Storage Unit 2.
Note: Wait 15 seconds before continuing.
b. Power on the MEM module.
c. Power on in any order:
IQC5000
Ethernet Switch
Note: If using PCIe offload, allow IQC t
o boot fully before powering on Computer Workstation.
d. Power on the Computer Workstation.

Connector Torque Ratings
When mating RF connectors, ensure that they are properly aligned and not cross-
threaded. Additionally, do not under/over torque RF connectors, as this could result in
unreliable results, or worse, damaging the IQC5000. Always check manufacturer
specification for proper torque ratings of all RF connectors. The table below defines the
recommended torque ratings for RF connectors used within the IQC5000.
