desired signal, modulated on a common carrier frequency. An example of an entity is a
user/mobile station or a cell/base station in one digital standard (e.g. 3GPP FDD,
EUTRA/LTE, etc.).
The R&S SMW can generate the signals of up to 4 entities with a 2x2 MIMO each or
up to 8 SISO systems.
F
Fading channel: In a 2x2 MIMO fading configuration, there are four fading channels
between the transmit (Tx) and the receive (Rx) antennas. In this description, each fad-
ing channel is represented as a block with name following the naming convention
"F
<Tx><Rx>
", where Tx and Rx are the antennas (e.g. A and B in a 2x2 MIMO configura-
tion)
Do not mistake the terms fading channel and Fading path.
Fading path: Each Fading channel consists of several fading paths. The number of
the paths depends on the fading configuration.
File transfer: The transmission of files from or to the instrument by a remote client.
The instrument supports the standard methods File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and file
sharing according to Server Message Protocol (SAMBA/SMB).

High frequency options: This term is used as a joint abbreviation of the frequency
options R&S SMW-B1031/-B1040/-B1040N.
Throughout this description, the designation R&S SMW-B1040 includes the features of
both options R&S SMW-B1040/-B1040N.

I
i.e.: That is
I/Q Stream: Stream
L
Level: In the Baseband domain, a term describing the signal level of the independent I
and Q signals during signal processing (e.g. baseband signal leveling, modulation,
etc.).
