"Digital Only/Digital Only Multiplexed"
Option: R&S SMW-K551
R&S SMW can generate digital signals with reduced speed, depend-
ing on the device connected to the digital I/Q interfaces.
The supported configuration and mapping of the generated streams
to the digital I/Q interfaces depends on the selected mode:
●
In "Digital Only" mode, up to 4 streams can be mapped to the dig-
ital I/Q interfaces.
●
In "Digital Only Multiplexed" mode, the multiplexed streams are
mapped to the digital I/Q interfaces BBMM 1/2; the mapping is
fixed.

Signal Routing
Defines the signal routing in non-MIMO Standard mode. In a fully equipped instrument,
the following configurations are available:
●
"A->A, B->B"
●
"A->A, B->A"
●
"A->B, B->B"
●
"A->A and B, A->A and B"
●
"B->A and B, B-> (open)"
●
"A-> (open), B->A and B"
The preview diagram displays the signal routing for the selected configuration.
Execute "Apply" to trigger the instrument to adopt the current configuration.

System Configuration LxMxN
In Advanced mode, the signal routing, i.e. the fading/baseband configuration LxMxN is
determined by three parameters, "Entities", "BB Signals", and "Streams". The available
configurations depend on the installed hardware and software options (see data
sheet).
Note: The RF outputs are disabled, if you apply new System Configuration LxMxN
and/or change the Baseband Source Configuration.
Entities (Users, Cells) ← System Configuration LxMxN
Defines the number of entities to be generated.
An entity is a self-contained independent system, consisting of its own baseband part
with possible fading simulator and noise generator and an RF part. 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 8 entities.
The Table 3-5 shows the interdependency between the number of entities (L), the
number of baseband signals (M) and the number of streams (N).
