11 Performing configuration tasks
This section provides a general explanation on how to operate the instrument manually
via the R&S SGMA-GUI software.
We assume, that the R&S SGS is connected to a remote PC. The R&S SGMA-GUI
software is installed on this remote PC and the instrument has to be added to the list of
"Available Instruments".
For information on how to fulfill these requirements, refer to:
●
Chapter 3.13.2.1, "Connecting to the network", on page 30
●
Chapter 3.13.1, "Installing the R&S SGMA-GUI software", on page 28
●
Chapter 3.13.2.3, "Adding instruments to R&S SGMA-GUI", on page 32
General workflow
The general workflow for generating a signal with the R&S SGS comprises the follow-
ing main steps:
1. Decide whether you want to generate a CW or an I/Q modulated signal.
See Chapter 11.1, "How to generate an I/Q modulated signal", on page 160.
2. Select the operating mode.
See Chapter 11.3, "How to enable a baseband bypass mode", on page 165.
3. Configure the reference and local oscillator settings.
See Chapter 11.4, "How to configure the reference oscillator source", on page 165
and Chapter 11.5, "How to configure the local oscillator coupling source",
on page 166.
4. Adjust the frequency, level and I/Q settings, for example, to optimize performance
or to add impairments to the generated signal (see Chapter 11.11, "How to optimize
performance", on page 171).
11.1 How to generate an I/Q modulated signal
The instrument is manually operated via the R&S SGMA-GUI software.
The I/Q modulator requires the hardware option R&S SGS-B106V and for operation up
to 12.75 GHz also the hardware option R&S SGS-B112V.
An example of how to configure the instrument to generate a continuous wave (CW)
signal is provided in Chapter 5, "Trying out the Instrument", on page 39.
