R&S EX-IQ-Box Digital Signal Interface Module
•Product Brochure: R&S EX-IQ-Box Digital Signal Interface Module
•Datasheet: R&S EX-IQ-Box Digital Signal Interface Module
The R&S®EX-IQ-Box is a digital interface module that provides flexible digital baseband inputs and outputs for signal generators and signal analyzers from Rohde & Schwarz.
When used with this box, a Rohde & Schwarz vector signal generator delivers realistic digital baseband signals for testing digital transceivers or other components. The generator not only covers all common state-of-the-art standards such as LTE, WiMAX and 3GPP including HSPA, but also provides user-defined signals and effects such as fading, AWGN and I/Q impairments.
The R&S®EX-IQ-Box together with a signal analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz can analyze digital baseband components. The box comes with breakout boards equipped with the most common connectors. The boards in conjunction with user-selectable data rates, formats and logic levels make for easy connection of the device under test (DUT). Parameters can conveniently be set via the user interface of the signal generator or analyzer.
Features
- Bidirectional digital I/Q interface for signal generators and analyzers
- An R&S®SMU200A, R&S®SMJ100A, R&S®AMU200A or R&S®AFQ100A signal generator produces standard-compliant digital baseband signals when combined with the R&S®EX-IQ-Box
- Support of all important state-of-the-art standards such as EUTRA/LTE, 3GPP FDD, HSPA, WiMAX, GSM/EDGE, etc.
- Versatile signal processing capabilities (e.g. fading, AWGN, I/Q impairments)
- Simple and flexible conversion of digital baseband signals to analog IF or RF signals (together with the R&S®SMU200A)
- Vector signal analysis of digital baseband signals of all important modern standards such as EUTRA/LTE, 3GPP FDD, HSPA, WiMAX, GSM/EDGE, etc. (together with the R&S®FSQ, R&S®FSG or R&S® FMU)
