on page 852.
Computer name: An unambiguous indication of the instrument in a LAN that uses a
DNS server.
The default computer name follows the syntax SMW-<serial number>, e.g.
SMW200A-102030.
Synonym: Hostname
See Serial number.
Continuous Wave Mode: CW/Mod
Coupled sources: This term is used as an abbreviation of the "System Configuration
> BB Source Configuration > Coupled/Coupled per Entity".
With coupled sources, all required baseband signals are generated out of the same
baseband source.
coupled trigger settings: To enable simultaneous signal generation in all basebands,
the R&S SMW couples the trigger settings in the available basebands in any instru-
ment's configuration that involves signal routing with signal addition. For example, in
configurations like MIMO configuration, routing and summing of basebands and/or
streams.
CW/Mod: An internally generated control signal that turns off/on digital modulation, i.e.
the signal is generated in unmodulated form.
D
daisy chain: A connection scheme in which instruments are connected together in
sequence, i.e. an output of the first one is connected to an input of the second one, etc.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DNS: Domain Name System server
E
e.g.: For example
earlier RF hardware versions: Refers to instruments equipped with former hardware
assemblies.
To improve the signal performance of the R&S SMW, several hardware components in
the RF domain have been replaced. New option numbers denote the hardware modifi-
cations, as for example R&S SMW-B1006. This term denotes the differences to previ-
ous versions of the hardware assemblies and the corresponding option numbers.
See Chapter A, "RF Hardware Versions", on page 1289.
Entity: An entity is a self-contained independent system, consisting of a baseband
source, a fading simulator, a noise generator, and an RF part. An entity describes the
