3.9 Generating Multi-Carrier Continuous Wave Signal
The multi-carrier continuous wave (MCCW) is a firmware option that enables the
R&S SMBV100B to calculate up to 160001 continuous wave signals.
3.9.1 Required Options
The equipment layout for processing of waveform files includes
●
Base unit
●
Option Multi-Carrier CW (R&S SMBVB-K61)
3.9.2 About the MCCW
The R&S SMBV100B can calculate and generate a multi-carrier continuous wave sig-
nal build form up to 8192 unmodulated carriers. The carrier offset and the power level
of the carriers are user-definable. The provided settings allow individual configuration
of each carrier and the joint configuration of subset of carriers. Automatic start phase
setting is provided to minimize the crest factor.
The multi-carrier CW signals are not generated in realtime but rather computed in arbi-
trary waveform mode. Changes in the carrier settings are not considered until the
instrument is triggered to accept and apply them.
The common application fields of the multi-carrier CW signals are the receiver tests
with broadband test signals.
3.9.3 MCCW Settings
Access:
► Select "Baseband > Multi-Carrier CW".
The dialog enables direct carrier configuration, access to the carrier table and the
graphical representation of the configured carriers.
