Example: Generating a beamformed signal with one R&S SMW
Generator = "A Internal & A->B Coupled"; "LO OUT > Off"
The R&S SMW uses its internal oscillator signal in both paths and outputs the signal at
the LO OUT connector. The frequency is assumed to be 5 GHz.
Example: Generating a beamformed signal with two one path Rohde & Schwarz
Signal Generators
This example shows a test setup with two generators, each equipped with one path.
Generator 1
= "Internal"; "LO OUT > On"
Generator 2 = "External"; "LO OUT > Off"
The Signal Generator 1 uses its internal oscillator signal. Signal Generator 2 receives
the LO signal from the first instrument. The frequency is assumed to be 2 GHz.
7.6 Varying the RF Signal in List or Sweep Mode
The operating modes "List" and "Sweep" allow you to generate an RF signal having
periodically varying frequencies or amplitudes.
A signal generated with varying parameters scans a certain range of varying values of
a parameter, with defined start and end points, and can be arbitrarily repeated.
The R&S SMW supports two basic methods:
●
Sweep mode
The instrument generates an RF signal which varies its frequency or level values
cyclically between the start and end values. The values change according to a pre-
defined waveform. Intermediate values are calculated internally by linear or loga-
rithmic interpolation.
