ROHDE & SCHWARZ EX-IQ-Box, 1409.5505.02, EX-IQ-Box digital Interface

Rohde & Schwarz EX-IQ-Box digital Interface, 1409.5505.02

Model: 1409.5505.02


The R&S®EX-IQ-Box is a digital interface module that provides flexible digital baseband inputs or outputs for signal generators, signal analyzers and communications testers from Rohde & Schwarz. The main application field of this device is the conversion of digital I/Q signals of R&S instruments into user defined or standardized digital signal formats and vice versa.

For applications with user defined protocols the R&S®EX-IQ-Box enables either serial or parallel transmission of I/Q signals to a DUT, including variable clock modes, various data rates as well as different logical signal levels. The connection to the device under test is done in a straight-forward approach via adapter boards (=breakout boards) that are plugged directly to the R&S®EX-IQ-Box.

In applications with standardized protocols, the R&S®EX-IQ-Box provides not only the I/Q data, but also control information of the respective standard. Equipped with the corresponding options, the R&S®EX-IQ-Box supports the standardized interface protocols CPRI™ (common public radio interface), which defines an interface for the transmission of I/Q and control data between the baseband and RF module of a base station.

Features:

• Conversion of digital I/Q signals to and from the device under test
• Flexible user-defined digital I/Q interface settings
• Easy interface configuration via enclosed R&S®DigIConf software
• Transient recorder in R&S®DigIConf for visual control of generated digital signals
• Optional support for CPRI™
