throughput to avoid network overload. The result is a reduced performance of the
R&S TSME6.
In a MIMO scenario or when using multiple R&S TSME6 devices for load balancing
applications, a network link can be shared by several R&S TSME6 devices. In a multi-
technology setup, we recommend using several network ports on your PC. It applies
also for the measurement of multiple technologies on the used R&S TSME6 device.
3.1.6.1 Using two R&S TSME6s in parallel
Using two R&S TSME6s in parallel enhances the measurement capability compared to
a single R&S TSME6, and can increase measurement speed.
Synchronized devices are time-synchronous, not phase-synchronous.
We recommend connecting every R&S TSME6s with a dedicated network connection
to the used PC.
A R&S TSME6 intelligently captures signals of multiple technologies at the same time,
if they fall within its 20 MHz frontend.
If two R&S TSME6s are connected, and a technology option is installed on at least one
of the R&S TSME6s, the measurement software can measure on both R&S TSME6
frontends. Thus you can create a virtual 40 MHz frontend.
Therefore, measurements on combined R&S TSME6s are faster than measurements
on separate R&S TSME6s in shared spectrum networks.
Using two R&S TSME6s in parallel requires the following options:
●
A band option (R&S TSME6-KxB) on each R&S TSME6
●
Identical technology options on both R&S TSME6 devices for measurements on
both R&S TSME6 frontends simultaneously
The following table demonstrates some sample configurations and applications for par-
allel usage.
