The
MG3700A Vector Signal Generator supports digital modulation of signals for all major wireless communication systems such as cellular phones and wireless LANs. With its 160 MHz high-speed arbitrary waveform baseband generator, wide vector modulation bandwidth, and large capacity ARB memory,
MG3700A has the performance to provide signal generation for future wireless communication systems with wider bandwidths.
The arbitrary waveform generator is a standard function built into the
MG3700A. By choosing an arbitrary waveform pattern, a modulation signal can be output that meets the requirement of various communication systems.
There are four kinds of waveform patterns that can be used by the
MG3700A:
- The standard built-in waveform pattern.
- Various optional waveform patterns [Models: MX3700xxA]
- Optional IQproducer waveform generation software [Models: MX3701xxA]
- Data created by general signal generation software changed into waveform patterns for MG3700A.
Many arbitrary waveform pattern files are pre-recorded, based on parameters conforming to various communication systems that have already been established. Those waveform patterns provided on the hard disk of
MG3700A as standard functions can be used freely. Additional waveform patterns are offered as optional software.
The IQproducer waveform generation software conforms to various communication systems. This software performs a parameter setup of waveform data and can generate an arbitrary waveform pattern file that is downloaded to
MG3700A using a LAN connection or a CF (Compact Flash) memory card.
IQ sample data files (in ASCII format) generated by common EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools can be converted to waveform pattern files for
MG3700A using the IQproducer "conversion" function. A custom-made waveform pattern file is generated arbitrarily.
NEW - MG3700A Vector Signal Generator is the first vector signal generator that can be used by manufacturers to accurately, quickly and cost-effectively evaluate their Mobile WiMAX equipment for IEEE802.16e Wave 2 DL-MIMO performance.
Mobile WiMAX waveform patterns recommended by the IEEE802.16e standard, including WirelessMAN-OFDMA, MAC (Medium Access Control Layer) and PHY (PHYsical Layer), can be generated by the MX370105A IQProducer software for the
MG3700A. A key benefit of the software/hardware combination is that it supports Mobile Certification Wave2 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) waveform patterns, which are critical for evaluating downlink functions of Mobile WiMAX equipment.
