Welcome to the R&S SMW-K550 Option

Documentation Overview

The R&S SMW-K550 is a software option that allows you to duplicate generated base­band signals (streams) for specific system configurations. By that means, four base­band streams with real-time data sources can be generated in parallel. The generated
signals are suitable for test cases such as the GSM AM Suppression Test as specified
in 3GPP TS 51.021.

The duplicated baseband streams are of identical content. If shifted in frequency, they
appear to the receiver under test as different signals.

R&S SMW-K550 key features:

●

Generation of up to 8 streams out of 4 baseband signals

●

Generation of 4 signals with real-time data source, for example to ensure non-trun­cated PN sequences

●

Generation of wanted and interfering signals as required for the GSM AM suppres­sion tests

This user manual contains a description of the functionality that the application pro­vides, including remote control operation.

All functions not discussed in this manual are the same as in the base unit and are
