Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the MX371055A Interference Waveform Pattern for 5G NR Receiver Test (hereafter “this waveform pattern”).

1.1 Product Overview
MX371055A Interference Waveform Pattern for 5G NR Receiver Test (hereafter “this waveform pattern”) contains QPSK modulation waveform patterns of interference for 5G NR UE Receiver Test conforming to the 3GPP standard and table at the table 1.1-1.
Downloading this waveform pattern to the MG3710A/MG3710E Vector Signal Generator (hereafter MG3710A/MG3710E) supports generation of interference signals used at Receiver test items in Table 1.1-1.
Use of this waveform pattern requires a license corresponding to the serial number of the MG3710A/MG3710E using the pattern. When using this pattern on multiple MG3710A/MG3710E units, a license must be purchased for each MG3710A/MG3710E unit using this pattern. The MG3710A/MG3710E must include the minimum required configuration shown in Table 1.1-1 when using this waveform pattern.

How to Use Waveform Patterns

The following operations are required to output MX371055A Interference Waveform Pattern for 5G NR Receiver Test (hereafter “this waveform pattern”) from the MG3710A/MG3710E:

• Transferring this waveform pattern to internal hard disk
•  Loading waveform patterns from the hard disk to the waveform memory
•  Selecting a waveform pattern to be output from the MG3710A/MG3710E

2.1 Preparing Waveform Pattern
This section describes how to download a created waveform pattern to the hard disk of the MG3710A/MG3710E and output the pattern.
2.1.1 Installing waveform license
To load the waveform pattern to the memory, the license file corresponding to each pattern must be installed. Refer to the following for installation of the license file.

•  MG3710A/MG3710E Operation Manual 9.4.4 “Install”, “Adding/deleting waveform licenses: Waveform Licenses”

2.1.2 Transferring waveform pattern to internal hard disk

There are two ways of transferring the waveform pattern created with this waveform pattern to the internal hard disk:

• LAN

• External device such as USB flash drive

•  Transferring from PC to MG3710A/MG3710E via LAN Two IQproducer™ tools can be used to transfer a waveform pattern to the MG3710A/MG3710E via a LAN.

•  Transfer & Setting Wizard
  Start this wizard by clicking the Transfer & Setting Wizard button of IQproducer™ or by selecting Simulation & Utility tab → Transfer & Setting Wizard from the IQproducer™ after creating a waveform pattern.
  For details, refer to 4.7 “File Transfer and Loading to Memory Using Transfer & Setting Wizard” in the MG3710A/MG3710E IQproducer™. Transferring a waveform pattern to the internal hard disk of the MG3710A/MG3710E, loading the waveform from the hard disk to the waveform memory, and then outputting the waveform pattern can be done using this wizard.

• Transfer & Setting Panel
  This function is loaded by selecting Transfer & Setting Panel in the Simulation & Utility tab of the IQproducer™. For details, refer to 5.2 “Transferring Waveform Pattern” in the MG3710A/MG3710E IQproducer™.
  Specify the folder that contains the waveform pattern to transfer to the MG3710A/MG3710E in the PC-side tree of Transfer & Setting Panel.

• Transferring via external device such as USB flash drive
  For how to transfer a waveform pattern to the internal hard disk of the MG3710A/MG3710E, refer to 7.3.6 “Copying external waveform pattern: Copy” in the MG3710A/MG3710E Operation Manual.

2.1.3 Loading to waveform memory
To output a modulated signal using this waveform pattern, it is necessary to load the waveform pattern that was transferred to the internal hard disk of the MG3710A/MG3710E (described in 2.1.2 “Transferring waveform pattern to internal hard disk”) to the waveform memory. A waveform pattern can be loaded into the waveform memory in the following two ways.

• Configuring using the MG3710A/MG3710E
  A waveform pattern can be loaded into the waveform memory by using the instruction panel of the MG3710A/MG3710E or by using a remote command.
  For operation using the front panel, refer below:

• MG3710A/MG3710E Operation Manual 7.3.4 “Loading waveform pattern: Load”
  For operation using remote commands, refer below:

•  MG3710A/MG3710E Operation Manual 7.3.4 “Loading waveform pattern: Load”

• Using Transfer & Setting Panel of IQproducer™
  A waveform pattern can be loaded from the LAN-connected PC to the memory by using Transfer & Setting Panel, which can be opened from the Simulation & Utility tab. For details, refer to 4.6 “File Transfer and Loading to Memory in Transfer & Setting Panel Screen” in the MG3710A/MG3710E IQproducer™.

2.1.4 Selecting waveform pattern
Select a waveform pattern to use for modulation from the waveform patterns loaded into the waveform memory of the MG3710A/MG3710E according to 2.1.3 “Loading to waveform memory”. A waveform pattern can be selected in the following two ways.
■ Configuring using the MG3710A/MG3710E
Waveform patterns to be used for modulation can be selected by using the instruction panel of the MG3710A/MG3710E or by using a remote command.
For operation using the front panel, refer below:
● MG3710A/MG3710E Operation Manual
7.3.5 “Selecting output waveform pattern: Select”
For operation using remote commands, refer below:
● MG3710A/MG3710E Operation Manual
7.3.5 “Selecting output waveform pattern: Select”
■ Using Transfer & Setting Panel of IQproducer™
A waveform pattern can be loaded from the LAN-connected PC to the memory, and also selected for modulation. This is done by using Transfer & Setting Panel, which can be opened from the Simulation & Utility tab. For details, refer to 4.6 “File Transfer and Loading to Memory in Transfer & Setting Panel Screen” in the MG3710A/MG3710E IQproducer™.

2.1.5 Outputting waveform pattern again
Output starts as soon as a waveform pattern is selected. Use the following procedure to output the same waveform pattern again.
Press F8 Restart in the ARB/Waveform function menu.
● Refer to “F8 Restart” in Table 7.3.1-2 in the MG3710A/MG3710E Operation Manual.
Waveform is also output by applying trigger.
● Refer to 7.3.8 “Start/Frame Trigger” in the MG3710A/MG3710E Operation Manual.
