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 - BERT Block",
on page 174
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 194
●
List mode
see chapter 5.5.14, "List Mode", on page 266
●
Sweep mode
see chapter 5.5.13.1, "Overview", on page 247
●
Analog modulations
see chapter 5.5.11.1, "Overview", on page 233
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 275
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 289
●
Adding noise
see chapter 5.7.2, "AWGN - Noise Generator", on page 300
●
Fading the signal
see description "Fading Simulation - Fader Block"
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 308
The R&S Signal Generator 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
extended continuously.
