4.4.3 External RF and I/Q Settings
A fully equipped R&S SMW can deliver up to 8 independent I/Q streams but can modu-
late only two of them to the RF domain using the internal RF paths. The remaining
streams can be output at the analog or digital I/Q interfaces and led to the connected
external RF signal generators.
Other applications like the radar echo generation or the generation of WLAN 802.11ad
signals at 58.3 GHz require connected R&S FSW or R&S SZU.
With the settings in the "External RF and I/Q" tab, you can control external devices and
instruments from the R&S SMW, if all prerequisites are fulfilled. See "Prerequisites for
control of external instruments from the R&S SMW" on page 135.
Prerequisites for control of external instruments from the R&S SMW
The following connections between the R&S SMW and the external instruments are
required:
●
Physical remote control connection over LAN or USB
The remote control connection to the external instruments must be in status con-
nected, see Remote Connection Status.
●
Physical signal connection for the digital or analog I/Q signal
●
For the most test setups, the instruments must use a common reference fre-
quency signal.
Suitable reference frequency signal sources are:
– An external common reference source
– The distributed reference frequency of the R&S SMW.
