Superior Expandability Supporting A Wide Variety Of Communication Systems

MX370x series software

The MG3700A Vector Signal Generator (hereafter referred to as “MG3700A”) is a signal generator that integrates a 160-MHz high-speed ARB baseband generator.With features that include a broadband vector modulation bandwidth and large-capacity ARB memory, it supports digital modulation signals for a variety of communication systems.The MG3700A provides optimal performance for generating signals for new wireless communications in advancing broadband technology, as well as for major mobile telecommunication systems such as mobile phones and wireless LANs. Since the standard MG3700A comes equipped with an ARB generator,modulation signals can be output simply by selecting a waveform pattern that conforms to each supported communication system.The following four categories of waveform patterns are available for the MG3700A:

Standard waveform patterns

•

Waveform patterns generated by the optional waveform pattern option (Model: MX3700xxA)

•

Waveform patterns generated by the optional waveform generation software IQproducer (Model: MX3701xxA)

•

Waveform patterns converted from data generated by commonly-used signal generation software, so

as to be available for the MG3700A. Each waveform category above contains multiple waveform pattern files in which parameters conforming to each communication system are set in advance.The default waveform patterns are saved on the MG3700A hard disk, allowing users to make free use of them. In addition, optional waveform patterns are also available. The waveform generation software IQproducer is provided with the system to support various communication methods. Parameter setting for the waveform data of a corresponding communication system can generate an arbitrary waveform pattern file that can be used by MG3700A. MG3700A can output signals by choosing a waveform pattern when the generated arbitrary waveform pattern file is downloaded to MG3700A via LAN or a CompactFlash (CF) card. Furthermore, an IQ sample file in ASCII format, generated by common EDA (Electronic Design Automation) software such as MATLAB arbitrarily generate a custom waveform pattern file.

■AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) Supports Dynamic Range Test

When performing the receiver dynamic range test specified by 3GPP, AWGN with a W-CDMA modulation signal is required. Either of the AWGN waveform patterns AWGN_3_84MHz_x2 or AWGN_3_84MHz_x1_5, which are stored on the MG3700A internal hard disk, can be used for an AWGN signal. Since a single MG3700A can add a W-CDMA uplink modulation signal and AWGN signal internally and output them as a combined signal, it is useful for a simple dynamic range test for base station receivers.

■CDMA2000 1xEV-DO waveform pattern:

The signals for testing the receiver and transmitter of the CDMA2000 1xEV-DO access network (base station) and access terminal (mobile station), which are specified in 3GPP2, can be output by selecting one of these CDMA2000 1xEV-DO waveform patterns. Thirteen forward and ten reverse data rate waveform patterns are available. When multi-carrier signals, mixed signals of idle and active, and/or multi-user signals are required, parameter setting and waveform pattern generation are available using the optional MX370103A CDMA2000 1xEV-DO IQproducer.

(AWGN: Additive White Gaussian Noise)

When performing the receiver dynamic range test specified by 3GPP2, a 1xEV-DO modulation signal with AWGN is required. Either of the AWGN waveform patterns AWGN_1.23MHz_x2 or AWGN_1.23MHz_x1_5, which are stored on the MG3700A internal hard disk, can be used for an AWGN signal. Since a single MG3700A can add a CDMA2000 uplink modulation signal and an AWGN signal internally and output them as a combined signal, it is useful for a simple dynamic range test for an AN receiver.
