I/Q and IF Interface (Option CMU-B17)
Option CMU-B17 provides separate access to the I/Q and IF signals in the CMU200 receiver (RX) and
transmitter (TX) paths. The functionality is applicable in conjunction with the RF function group (see
section I/Q-IF Interface (Connection Control – I/Q-IF) REFFORMATVERBINDENon p. 4.74 ff.) and with
a wide range of network options in Signalling as well as in Non Signalling test modes (see separate
manuals for network options). The insertion of option CMU-B17 in bypass mode does not cause any
influence on signals; i.e. the additional insertion loss caused by option CMU-B17 will be corrected dur-
ing the mandatory calibration procedure after installation.

I/Q-IF Test Scenarios
A short overview of test scenarios with the necessary RX and TX path settings is given in Table 4-1 on
p. 4.75. The following examples illustrate the functionality in more detail.
The list of scenarios is not necessarily complete: Depending on the application, it is possible to define
customized, User defined test scenarios.
