| 7BM76: Correlated Receiver Diversity Simulations with R&S®SFU | 12.12.2011 |
| Receiver diversity improves reception quality by using multiple antennas with a preferably low correlation factor between each other. This results in a more robust handling of multipath signals, since a deep fade will then not affect all received signals at the same time. However, the compact dimensions of handheld devices can introduce unwanted correlation due to their dense antenna spacing. In this case, the popular diversity test setup consisting of several independent transmitters will no longer serve the needs of a realistic simulation, since correlation effects have to be taken into account here. A clever solution is to operate the R&S®SFU in split-fading mode in combination with a second transmitter. This can be another R&S®SFU, the R&S®SFE, the R&S®SFE100 or the R&S®SMU200A. In this way, two diversity signals of adjustable correlation for any common broadcast standard are coded in realtime, while their individual multipath profile is precisely specified by the extensive features of the R&S®SFU fader module.

| 1GP38: Creating Test Signals for Bluetooth® with R&S®AMIQ / R&S®WinIQSIM™ and R&S®SMIQ | 22.01.2011 |
| Bluetooth is a universal radio interface using the license-free 2.45 GHz frequency band. It enables electronic devices to connect and communicate without connecting cables in short-range, ad hoc networks. As the SMIQ Vector Signal Generator in combination with I/Q Modulation Generator AMIQ is able to generate nearly any kind of digitally modulated signal, this combination is also an ideal signal source for Bluetooth® test signals.

| 1MA135: Path Compensation for MS Fading Tests | 22.01.2011 |
| As well as static tests, modern mobile communication standards also stipulate measurements under fading conditions, sometimes with additional white gaussian noise AWGN. Rohde & Schwarz supports these tests with the combination of the R&S®CMU200 Radio Communication Tester and the R&S®SMU200A or R&S®AMU200A Vector / Baseband Signal Generator and Fading Simulator. Applying fading and noise always raises the crest factor of a signal considerably. Thus, automatic path attenuation inside the R&S® baseband fader prevents the new signal peaks from being clipped at I/Q full scale. Any additional attenuation in the baseband, however, makes the RF output fall below its intended level. This application note shows how to achieve an accurate RF output level by compensating for the I/Q attenuation - without modifying the test setup or using additional instruments.

| 1GPAN28: Frequency Hopping for GSM Base Station Tests with Signal Generators SME | 22.01.2011 |
| While Mobile phones are allowed to require approximately 3 time slots for switching from transmission to reception, base stations must be able to transmit and receive at a new frequency in every time slot in the frequency hopping mode. This behaviour must of course be tested and measurements carried out on the base station transmitter and receiver. Since there is no signal generator which is able to settle at different frequencies from one to the next time slot with GSM modulation, a solution to this problem was found by linking two Signal Generators SME in such a way that they alternately provide signals at different frequencies.

For applications at higher frequencies, all signal generators can also be operated with an external passive frequency doubler. This extends the range of possible applications up to 8.6 GHz. Some degraded specs regarding level and modulation are described below. For people using the frequency range 3 to 6 GHz, the low priced combination SMT plus frequency doubler will mainly be interesting. Signal generator SMHU is useful for the frequency range up to 8.6 GHz. Especially the phase noise performance is excellent with this instrument. the required output signal. It should also be pointed out that the residual FM and the SSB phase noise will be 6 dB poorer as a result of frequency doubling.

| 1MA110: Experimental Study of 3G Signal Interaction in Nonlinear Downlink RAN Transmitters | 22.01.2011 |
| While RF communication signal distortions in nonlinear transmission paths have been predicted theoretically and studied experimentally for various signals, it is interesting to examine a wideband nonlinear system reaction to a wideband 3G signal and a narrowband 2G signal. Research and testing have demonstrated that, while most vital signal parameters remain within the limits specified by applicable standards even if composite signal power approaches specified maximum power, a relatively high level of spurious emissions caused by cross- and intermodulation can result. To avoid degrading both existing and new systems, this and other signal quality issues must be considered when designing and deploying multitechnology systems.

| 1GPAN26: Base Station Adjacent Time Slot Rejection Measurement with R&S®CMD and R&S®SME | 22.01.2011 |
| In radio networks using TDMA, such as GSM, PCN (DCS1800) and PCS (DCS1900), reception and demodulation of data transmitted in a time slot may be impaired by signals and data of the adjacent time slots. This could be the case if a mobile which is far away from the base station is using time slot e.g. 4, while two other mobiles very close to the base station are using the time slots 3 and 5. In order to get highest performance measurements the suppression of adjacent time slot signals are prescribed for base station receivers. For instance, GSM specifications (ETSI/GSM 11.20) stipulate for base stations BER tolerances for a used time slot in the presence of a 50-dB higher level in the adjacent time slots while all other time slot are switched off. This measurement problem can be solved with the signal generator SME synchronised on the base station radio communication tester CMD 54 or CMD 57.

| 1GP66: Selecting a Signal Generator for Testing AD Converters | 22.01.2011 |
| Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have taken giant steps in speed over the past decade: Sampling rates of 250 mega-samples per second at 16-bit resolution are now commonplace. Such devices allow high-speed video processing and even software defined radio (SDR) applications, where digitization is being performed at ever-higher intermediate frequencies (IF). This has clearly raised the bar for ADC test equipment, especially regarding the noise performance of the analog input signal and sample clock sources used in the test setup. Since the price of a signal source rises with performance, carefully selecting a generator with the most suitable specifications has become worthwhile if not mandatory.

| 1GPAN35: Generation of Test Signals for IS-136 (NADC) with Signal Generator SME | 22.01.2011 |
| Communication systems according to IS-136 (NADC) use Time Division Multiplex Access (TDMA) for the communication between base station and mobile stations. There are 6 time slots available. Depending on the amount of data, which have to be transmitted, the system uses full rate channels or half rate channels. A full rate channel means, that the mobile is accessed every 3rd time slot (e.g time slot 1 and 3, time slot 2 and 4 or time slot 3 and 6). With half rate channels the mobile is accessed every 6th time slot. Full rate and half rate channels may be mixed on demand. The base stations transmit continous on their frequency. Depending on the used combination of full rate and half rate channels the base station uses a different sequence of synchronisation words. The mobile stations use bursted transmission with one of the synchronisation words S1 to S6 defined in the standard. Signal Generator SME is excellently suited to generate these signals to test either base station receivers or mobile phone receivers. Together with the modulation data supplied with this application note the SME serves as a signal source for various test and measurement applications in the whole frequency range of IS-136 (NADC).

| 1GPAN14: Simulation of BCCH Channel of GSM/PCN Base Station with Signal Generator SME | 22.01.2011 |
| Propagation measurements are indispensable in the planning of digital, cellular mobile radio net-works. To find the optimum sites for the base stations, a mobile test transmitter system simulating the base station is operated from a number of possible locations. The test receiver system is accommodated in a vehicle, which is driven along a test route to perform measurements. The parameters measured, such as level, bit error rate or channel impulse response, provide information on the coverage within the cell. The main problem is to minimize interference caused by multipath propagation in the reception area. The SME offered by Rohde & Schwarz is a universal test generator that can be used as the core of a test transmitter system. The SME generates the GMSK-modulated signals required for GSM propagation measurements in line with the rele-vant standards. Thanks to its low weight of 17 kg it can be carried even to remote sites. Fitted with the new optional DM Memory Extension (SME-B12, in the following referred to as XMEM), the SME is able to store data sequences of up to 8 Mbit which are long enough for receiver measurements with test mobile stations. A suitable test receiver system is for instance a test mobile station for measuring level and bit error rate and the Impulse Response Analyzer PCS from Rohde & Schwarz for measuring the channel impulse response. The present Application Note describes how the XMEM can be loaded with suitable data (test sequence) by the GSM Radiocommunication Test Set CRTP from Rohde & Schwarz and how the SME has to be adjusted for GMSK modulation of these data. First, however, an overview is given of all functions of the XMEM and their operation supplementary to the Operating Manual. Finally, it is explained how the XMEM data can be transferred between PC and SME via the IEEE-488 or RS-232 interface.
