The integrated bit error rate and block error tester is configured and activated in the
"BERT" function block:
●
Bit error rate and block error measurement
see Chapter 5.4, "Bit and Block Error Rate Measurements", on page 183
The RF signal is configured and the analog modulations activated in the "RF/A Mod"
function block:
●
CW mode
see Chapter 5.5.1, "Overview of RF Signal", on page 207
●
List mode
see Chapter 5.5.14.4, "List Mode", on page 288
●
Sweep mode
see Chapter 5.5.14.1, "Overview", on page 275
●
Analog modulations
see Chapter 5.5.12.1, "Overview", on page 249
In the "I/Q-Mod" function block, I/Q modulation is possible with external analog signals
and internally generated baseband signals.
●
I/Q modulator
see Chapter 5.6, "I/Q Modulation - I/Q Mod Block", on page 296
Noise can be added to the baseband signal and the baseband signal can be impaired
before input into the I/Q modulator. It is therefore possible to output a baseband signal
with impairments via the I/Q-OUT outputs ("AWGN/IMP" function block). Impairment is
also possible during I/Q modulation ("I/Q Mod" function block).
●
Impairing the signal
see Chapter 5.7.1, "Impairments", on page 303
●
Adding noise
see Chapter 5.7.2, "AWGN - Noise Generator", on page 308
The baseband signal is available at the I/O outputs.
●
Output of the baseband signal
see Chapter 5.7.3, "Output of the Baseband Signal - I/Q Out", on page 315
●
Digital I/Q Output
see Chapter 5.8, "Digital I/Q Output Settings", on page 320
The R&S SMBV offers various possibilities for generating digital modulation signals in
compliance with the definitions of digital standards or with characteristics which can to
a large extent be freely defined. The range of software options for this is being exten-
ded continuously.
