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 SMW or one R&S SMW and several other
signal generators such as R&S SGT or R&S SMBV that generates synchronous 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 9.3.1, "Connecting Multiple Instruments in Master-Slave Mode",
on page 608.
MIMO: Multiple Input Multiple Output
MSB: Most significant bit
multi entity: multiple entity
multiple entity: Term describing a LxMxN system configuration with Entity L > 1.
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
non-MIMO mode: This term is used interchangeably to the term Standard mode
NTP (Network Time Protocol): A networking protocol for highly accurate clock syn-
chronization between computer systems and instruments in local area networks, or
over the public internet.
P
PC: Personal computer
PN sequence: PRBS generator
Power: A term describing the signal level in the RF domain or defining the length of
the I/Q vector in the Baseband domain.
