Specification:

Salient Characteristics:

Prospective offers shall meet the following minimum requirements.

1) Packaging: Single unit (enclosure) self-contained benchtop instrument with front panel user interface. No external controller, monitor or keyboard shall be required to operate the instrument. Waveforms shall be selected and controlled from the instrument panel without requiring an external PC, controller, or host.

2) Frequency Range: 100 kHz up through 40 GHz Center Carrier Frequency

3) Internal Modulation Bandwidth: The internal baseband generator unit shall support the creation of waveforms up to 160 MHz bandwidth. The instrument shall be upgradeable to support internal modulation bandwidths of up to 2 GHz.

4) Arbitrary Waveform Generation (ARB): Support playback of custom waveforms from user files containing sequential I/Q samples. These files may be created using external software tools such as MATLAB and Python. External waveform files shall be uploaded into the instrument from an external host, or via USB Flash Memory. (Note: Waveform file upload is not considered ‘controlling’ the instrument. See #1)

5) LTE Waveform Support: The instrument shall be field upgradeable to support the creation of waveforms compliant with the following ETSI standards: LTE Release 9, LTE-Advanced Release 10, LTE Release 11 and Enhanced Features, LTE Release 12, LTE Release 13 & 14. The LTE upgrades shall be a current product available for purchase.

6) Real Time Waveform Support: The instrument shall be upgradeable to support the creation of real time waveforms from external digital baseband IQ inputs.

7) Multi Signal and Fading: The instrument shall be upgradeable to allow the baseband generator to internally create up to four independent signals (for co- and adjacent channel signal emulation). The instrument shall be upgradeable to create up to four independent fading channels of the baseband generator output (for emulation of direct and reflected propagation paths).
