R&S®SMW-K76 Multiple Entities

• Up to eight individually configurable baseband signals
• Settable frequency, level and phase offsets for each baseband signal
• Realtime addition of signals for easy generation of multi-carrier and interference scenarios
• 8x SISO signal generation, optionally with fading
• Optional AWGN for each channel
• 2x2 MIMO channel simulation for three or four separate entities (with 4xR&S^®SMW-B14, R&S^®SMW-K74)
• Coupling of baseband signals for simplified signal configuration of multi-cell diversity and MIMO scenarios
• Flexible routing of baseband signals to two RF outputs, two analog and six digital IQ outputs (depending on instrument and system configuration)
• Additional RF paths via up to six digitally connected R&S^®SGT100A
• Additional microwave RF paths via R&S^®SGS100A + R&S^®SGU100A

Multi-Standard-Radio applications, interference scenarios, LTE carrier aggregation, multi-emitter radar simulation and phase coherent beam forming all require simultaneous generation of a multitude of baseband and RF signals.

The R&S^®SMW-K76 “Multiple Entities” option enables generation of up to eight different baseband signals from a single R&S^®SMW200A. Together with additional digitally connected R&S^®SGT100A vector RF sources, the R&S^®SMW200A is turned into a versatile eight channel vector signal generator. Connection of analog R&S^®SGS100A RF sources and R&S^®SGU100A up-converters for applications in the microwave range is also supported.

With additional R&S^®SMW-B14/R&S^®SMW-B15 fading hardware modules, up to 8x SISO fading is possible. Together with the R&S^®SMW-K74 MIMO option, 4x2x2 and 3x2x2 MIMO scenarios are supported. This e.g. allows simulation of up to four aggregated LTE carriers or four different cells with 2x2 MIMO from one R&S^®SMW200A.

The R&S^®SMW-K76 option requires two R&S^®SMW-B10 options and an R&S^®SMW-B13T option as prerequisite.
