R&S®SMIQ-B15 2nd Fading Simulator (6 paths)
Key Facts
The option R&S® SMIQB15 provides another 6 paths for fading, which can be parameterized exactly as the first 6 paths, to give a total of 12 paths.
Or it can be used for 2-channel fading for testing base station receivers with two separate antenna inputs (diversity). The I/Q output signals of options R&S® SMIQB14 and R&S® SMIQB15 can be separated in the (6+6)-path fading mode. While the I/Q signals of the first fading simulator (option R&S® SMIQB14) are used for driving the internal I/Q modulator, the second fading option (R&S® SMIQB15) is used to feed a second vector signal generator. In this mode, the individual propagation paths of the two options can be correlated with each other.
