Users can record signals acquired with the analyser in any chosen environment, then replay the recorded signals using the generator. Signals acquired with the analyser are transferred to the R&S IQW100 using the standard digital I/Q interface available with selected R&S equipment, and stored as IQ data.
To regenerate the recorded signal, the data is again transferred using the same standard R&S digital I/Q interface to the signal generator. Signals with a maximum bandwidth of 160MHz, with a sampling rate up to 200MS/s are supported; suitable for all WLAN/WiFi signals, and all mobile standards in current commercial use.
The R&S IQW100 can also be used with the high end R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer and an R&S SMW200A vector signal generator. In addition to the standard R&S digital I/Q interface, the R&S IQW100 also includes the R&S HS DIG IQ interface, which is a high speed interface, supported by the high end analyser and generator. With the high end equipment, the maximum bandwidth supported is 200MHz, with a sampling rate up to 250MS/s.
Both the R&S IQW and R&S IQW100 are conventionally operated via LAN to input SCPI commands, or using a web based GUI that automatically adapts to the current screen size. Alternatively, operate locally either using the 5.7″ TFT touchscreen, or by connecting a keyboard and mouse.
