See also Chapter 13.7.2, "Accessing Files in the Default or in a Specified Directory",
on page 777.
Computer name: An unambiguous indication of the instrument a LAN that uses a
DNS server.
The default computer name follows the syntax SMW200A-<serial number>, e.g.
SMW200A-102030.
Synonym: Hostname
See Serial number.
Continuous Wave Mode: CW/Mod
Coupled sources: This term is used as an abbreviation of the "System Configuration
> BB Source Configuration > Coupled/Coupled per Entity".
With coupled sources, all required baseband signals are generated out of the same
baseband source.
coupled trigger settings: To enable simultaneous signal generation in all basebands,
the R&S SMW couples the trigger settings in the available basebands in any instru-
ment's configuration that involves signal routing with signal addition (e.g. MIMO config-
uration, routing and summing of basebands and/or streams).
CW/Mod: An internally generated control signal that turns off/on digital modulation, i.e.
the signal is generated in unmodulated form.
D
daisy chain: A connection scheme in which instruments are connected together in
sequence, i.e. an output of the first one is the connected to an input of the second one,
etc.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DNS: Domain Name System server
E
e.g.: For example
Entity: An entity is a self-contained independent system, consisting of a baseband
source, a fading simulator, a noise generator, and an RF part. An entity describes the
desired signal, modulated on a common carrier frequency. An example of an entity is a
user/mobile station or a cell/base station in one digital standard (e.g. 3GPP FDD,
EUTRA/LTE, etc.).
The R&S SMW can generate the signals of up to 4 entities with a 2x2 MIMO each or
up to 8 SISO systems.
