5.7 Using the Arbitrary Waveform Generator (ARB)
The arbitrary waveform generator (ARB) is an I/Q modulation source forming part of
the R&S SMW. The ARB allows the playback and output of any externally calculated
modulation signals in the form of waveform files. The ARB can also generate multi-car-
rier or multi-segment signals from the waveform files.
5.7.1 Required Options
The equipment layout for processing of waveform files includes:
●
Option Standard or Wideband Baseband Generator (R&S SMW-B10/-B9) per sig-
nal path
Arbitrary waveform generator is incorporated in the baseband generator
●
Option baseband main module, one/two I/Q paths to RF (R&S SMW-B13/-B13T) or
Option wideband baseband main module two I/Q paths to RF (R&S SMW-B13XT)
●
Corresponding Digital Standard option (R&S SMW-K2xx) per signal path
Required to process a waveform file generated by the signal generation software
R&S WinIQSIM2.
For example, if you purchase option Digital Standard EUTRA/LTE R&S SMW-
K255, you can process EUTRA/LTE waveform files created by R&S WinIQSIM2.

Optional, ARB memory extension (R&S SMW-K511/-K512)
You can output waveform signals at several connectors. Dedicated connector output
requires the following options:
●
Output at the RF connector: RF frequency option (e.g. R&S SMW-B1003)
●
Output at the DIG I/Q connectors: option digital baseband output (R&S SMW-K18)
per signal path
●
Output at the HS DIG I/Q connectors: option digital baseband connectivity
(R&S SMW-K19)
