E-12
IQ Output, Offset, Wideband Noise
Test equipment Signal analyzer R&S FSQ (table 1-1, pos. 24),
Multimeter (table 1-1, pos. 19)
Test setup
Connect the signal analyzer to the I-output of the DUT
.
Test method First a reference measurement is performed in the menu (Multicarrier
CW) with one carrier at 10 MHz (other carriers at zero). Subsequently, the
noise power (all carriers switched off) is measured at 11 MHz.

alculation:
Wideband noise = noise power / reference value + 3 dB.
(add +3 dB, as it is sine)
Test setup
Connect the multi meter to the I and Q-output of the DUT.
Measurement Check offset
The number of necessary measurement depends on the number of installed RF- and baseband paths, see
following table:
