New Features in Firmware V3.80 (TCP/IP, Selftests, Aux TX, I/Q Recorder)
In the new TCP/IP tab of the Setup menu, it is pos sible to configure the R&S CMU with the IP address
information necessary for communicating with other hosts and applications through an IP network:
• The CMU-B21 section provides the IP address information f or the Universal Signalling Unit CMU-
B21 V14, to be used for GSM and WCDMA UE data application tests. For detailed information refer to the operating manuals for WCDMA UE Tests (R&S CMU-K61, …, K69), for the WCDMA
Message Analyzer and Recorder (R&S CMU-Z46), and for (E)GPRS Application Testing (R&S
CMU-K92).
• The CMU-B83 section provides the IP address information f or the Universal Signalling Unit CMU-
B83, to be used for CDMA2000 data application tests. For detailed information refer to the operating manuals for CDMA200 Mobile Tests (R&S CMU-K83, …, K87) and for the Message Monitor for
CDMA2000 Signalling Unit (R&S CMU-B87).
Attention! If you choose static TCP/IP addressing, contact your network administrator to obtain a valid
IP address. Connection errors can affect the entire network.
The TCP/IP information is not changed after a reset (*RST) of the instrument. The default
values (factory settings) can be restored using the Default Settings switches.
TCP/IP settings are available for R&S CMU200 instruments only.

MS PPP IP and BS PPP IP addresses dis played in the Service Config. tab of the Connection Control m enu for the CDMA2000
function groups; see Chapter 8 of the CDMA200 operating manual) using a definite CMU hostname and DHCP (dynamic
TCP/IP configuration). See desc ription of the Dynamic subsection below.

Dynamic CMU IP addressing is selected. To establish a dynamic IP connection
proceed as follows:
Remote
Control
1. In the Dynamic subsection, enter the CMU Hostname you wish to assign to the
CMU.
2. Select dynamic Type of CMU IP Addressing.
During the IP address acquisition phase, the CMU hostname is r egistered with the
DHCP server and the CMU displays the message DHCP Procedure Pending. This
operation may take several seconds to complete depending on network traffic,
DHCP server congestion, etc. W hen the DHCP procedure completes, the acquired
addresses are be displayed in the Dynamic TCP/IP address subsection. If dynamic
TCP/IP configuration f ails , the R&S CMU dis plays one of the f ailure messages listed
in Table 1 below and the Ethernet interface is disabled.
Note:When the DHCP s erver on the network is running Windows Server, the
DNS is not properly notified of the CMU hostname. In order to identify
the CMU by its hostname, it will be necessary to add the hostname,
along with the IP address obtained from DHCP and displayed on the
CMU, to the DNS table. This must be done whenever the CMU is rebooted and thus obtains a new address via DHCP. If the CMU is not
added to the DNS table, the instrument mus t be identified only by its IP
address.
DHCP Failure The R&S CMU contacts the DHCP server during the following scenarios:
• At R&S CMU initialization (if Type of CMU IP Addressing is set to Dynamic).
• At run-time when the user changes the Type of CMU IP Addressing from Static
to Dynamic.
• At run-time when the lease has expired. The DHCP client is required to renew
its lease with the DHCP server when the lease duration has expired.
The DHCP procedure may fail for a number of reasons. Possible failure scenarios
and error messages in the Type of CMU IP Addressing field are listed in Table 1
below. In case of a failure the Dynamic parameter field and a yellow notice box
show DHPC Failure – External Ethernet IP connection is now disabled.
Remote Control
Whenever a DHCP f ailure condition is detected, the R&S CMU takes the following
actions:
• The CMU200 Ethernet interface is disabled.
• Bit no. 14 of the STATus:OPERation register f or the R&S CMU base system
and bit no. 1 of the extended STATus:OPERation register for the CDMA2000
function groups is set (see Chapter 5 of the CMU 200/300 manual and the
CDMA2000 operating manual).
By disabling the Ethernet interface, the CMU200 will not be able to com municate
with any remote host.
• Dynamic CMU IP Address is set to “169.254.X.X” (where X.X is derived from
the serial number of the CMU200).
• Dynamic CMU Subnet Mask is set to “255.255.0.0”.
• Dynamic CMU Default Gateway address is removed.
• Dynamic MS and BS PPP IP Addresses (see Chapter 8 of the CDMA2000 op-
erating manual) are set to the static MS and BS PPP IP Address values.
By maintaining these PPP IP Addresses, the CMU200 will still be able to establish
SO33 data calls to a CDMA2000 mobile station. O nly the internal FTP s erver can be
used to transfer data to/from the mobile since no outside communication is possible.

Remote Control: TCPIp
The comm ands in this section configure the R&S CMU with the IP address inform ation necessary for
communicating with other hosts and applications through an IP network. The c omm ands correspond to
the TCP/IP tab of the Connection Control menu.
The TCP/IP information is not changed after a reset (*RST ) of the instrument. The default v al-
ues (factory settings) can be restored using SYSTem:TCPip:PRIMary:DEFault ON or SYSTem:TCPip:SECondary:DEFault ON.
If used as a setting command with the parameter ON, this command sets all parameters of the TCP/IP addressing commands for the signalling unit R&S CMU-B21 V14 to their default values (the setting OFF results in an error message).

Improved AuxTx Signal R&S CMU 200
Improved AuxTx Signal
for RF Measurements (Option R&S CMU-B96)
With option CMU-B96, Additional RF Generator, the CMU provides three additional AuxTx signals:
• Two low-level signals Path 1 and Path 2 can be configured with different f requencies and levels.
When it is switched on the AuxTx generator activates one of the preconfigured low-level signals.
• An additional Overrange signal at the frequency of the active low-level AuxT x signal but with possi-
bly higher level can be generated together with the low-level signal. If it not needed, this signal can
be switched off.
It is possible to superimpos e AuxTx and T x signals and to assign independent external attenuation factors.
AuxTx is generated with the modulation settings of the primary Tx signal (in remote control:
...RFGenerator:MODulation...) but with no frequency hopping or ramping. Options R&S CMUB95/B96 extend the functionality of the GSM-MS and WCDMA UE measurements, see operating
manuals for options R&S CMU-K20/…/K24 and for options R&S CMU-K61/…/-K69.
The Aux Tx signals are not compatible with FM modulation. The Aux Tx generator is
switched off when the modulation mode is set to FM. It remains in the O ff state even when
FM modulation is deactivated.
Options R&S CMU-B95 and R&S CMU-B96 are available for R&S CMU200 instruments
only.
Signal Configuration
The AuxTx signals are configured in the Generator tab of the Connection Control menu.

R&S CMU 200 I/Q Recorder
I/Q Recorder
The I/Q Recorder (IQRecorder) provides the I/Q data that the R&S CMU200/300 acquires with different IF filter settings. After the m easurement is started, the instr ument records a predefined number of
samples (CONFigure:IQRecorder:CONTrol:CLENgth). The meas urement can be s tarted explicitly
(INITiate:IQRecorder, with Free Run trigger) or by an appropriate trigger source (power trigger,
external trigger). The trigger settings are described on p. 6.32 ff. of the R&S CMU200/300 operating
manual. A measurement-specific trigger delay can be added; see CONFig-ure:IQRecorder:CONTrol:TDELay.
Measurement results are retrieved by means of the READ:IQRecorder…, FETCh:IQRecorder…, SAMPle:IQRecorder... commands. The application provides different (complex or polar) output
formats; see CONFigure:IQRecorder:RMODe. Moreover it is possible to obtain the results as
comma-s eparated ASCII arrays or in binary format (keywords ARRay or BINary). Binary data transfer
offers several advantages:
•The transfer is f as ter and more efficient (the size of the output str ings is typically reduced by a factor
of 3 to 4).
• Binary data can be directly post-processed by many external applications without previous conversion
On the other hand, the transfer of ASCII arrays can be refined by means of subarray commands.
The I/Q Recorder (IQRecorder) is a remote control application which is located in the RF function
group. There is no equivalent measurement menu in manual control.
The performance of the application is improved with option R&S CMU-U65, Measurement DSP for
WCDMA; see overview below.

Measurement Control
The following commands control the measurement.
INITiate:IQRecorder Start new measurement
ABORt:IQRecorder Abort running measurement and switch off
STOP:IQRecorder Stop measurement after current stat. cycle
Description of com mand FW vers.
These commands have no query form. They start and stop the measurement, setting it to the status
indicated in the top right column.
This command defines the events generated when the measurement is terminated or stopped (event reporting,
see Chapter 5 of the operating manual).

R&S CMU 200 I/Q Recorder
Table 2 I/Q recorder filter types, bandwidths, and filter types
This command specifies the filter bandwidth for IF filters of Nyquist type (CONFigure:IQRecorder: CON-Trol:FILTer NYQ). The 3-MHz and 5-MHz bandwidths correspond to highest sampling rates and require option CMU-U65V04; see Table 2 on p. 19. The F300K setting actually corresponds to a bandwidth of
–32000 samples to +32000 samples
–64000 samples to +64000 samples
Description of com mand
This command specifies a number of sample periods between the trigger event and the start of the measurement. The resulting trigger delay time depends on the filter settings; see Table 2 on p. 19. The samples are continuously acquired and stored so that negative trigger delays are allowed.
This command specifies a maximum time between the start of the measurement and the trigger time in tenths of
a second (numeric entry: 1 to 600). The setting is valid for power and external trigger events. If no trigger occurs,
the READ…:ARRay:… commands return NTR.

Description of com mand
This command specifies the output format for the I/Q data. Rectangular values can be retrieved by means of the
commands READ…:ARRay:IQRecorder:I?, READ…:ARRay:IQRecorder:Q? etc. Polar values can be retrieved by means of READ…:ARRay:IQRecorder:PHASe?, READ…:ARRay:IQRecorder:LEVel?, READ…:ARRay:IQRecorder:PL? etc. Polar and rectangular representation of the results are equivalent:
<Magnitude> = sqrt (<I>
<I> = <Magnitude> * cos (<Phase>) <Q> = <Magnitude> * sin (<Phase>)
Wrapped phase means that the phase is limited to values between –180° and +180°.

Description of com mand
This command configures the READ:SUBarrays:IQRecorder..., FETCh:SUBarrays:IQRecorder...,
and SAMPle:SUBarrays:IQRecorder... commands. It restricts the measurement to up to 32 subranges
where either all measurement results (the number of which is given by the second numerical parameter) or a
single statistical value is returned. The subranges are defined by the current number of the first sample and the
number of samples within a subrange.

The subranges may overlap but must be within the range of the I/Q Recorder measurement which is defined by
the capture length N (CONFigure:IQRecorder:CONTrol:CLENgth). Results outside this range are not
available (result NAN) and do not enter into the ARIThmetical, MINimum and MAXimum values.
By default, only one range corresponding to the total measurement range is used and all measurement values
are returned.
Subarrays are only available for data transfer in ASCII format.
