SMBV100B
986User Manual 1178.4460.02 ─ 03
L
Level: In the Baseband domain, a term describing the signal level of the independent I
and Q signals during signal processing (e.g. baseband signal leveling, modulation,
etc.).
LSB: Least significant bit
M
Marker: User-defined digital signal for synchronizing external devices to the generated
data stream.
Do not mistake the term marker (signal) used here with the term Marker (graphical sig-
nal display).
Marker (graphical signal display): Markers are tools for numerical readout of mea-
sured data in diagrams.
Marker signal: Marker
master-slave: Setup with two or more R&S SMBV100B or one R&S SMBV100B and
several other signal generators such as R&S SGT or R&S SMBV that generates syn-
chronous and time aligned signals.
The master instrument generates and outputs a dedicated synchronization signal
(Sync Out), that has to be fed into the slave instruments.
See Chapter 8.3.1, "Connecting Multiple Instruments in Master-Slave Mode",
on page 428.
MIMO: Multiple Input Multiple Outputs
mSata: Memory that holds the operating system, the firmware, and used data.
Throughout this description, this memory is referred as an internal memory.
This memory cannot be installed if the CFast card (removable memory) is installed.
MSB: Most significant bit
MxN: Representation of a MIMO system, where M is the number of the transmitting Tx
antennas and N the number of the receiving Rx antennas.
N
NTP: (Network Time Protocol)
A networking protocol for highly accurate clock synchronization between computer sys-
tems and instruments in local area networks, or over the public Internet.
P
PC: Personal computer
PN sequence: PRBS generator
