For receiver tests in multicarrier base stations with complex interfering signals, one baseband generator can produce the test signal to be evaluated. The second baseband generator produces a suitable multicarrier signal to be used as the background signal. Two transmit antennas (the transmit diversity) of a base station can also be simulated. Up to now, two signal generators have been required in this case, but only one instrument is needed when the
Adding a realtime signal and a multicarrier signal
If the RF section is furthermore equipped with two paths, any requirement can be met. For instance, the wanted signal and the interfering signal needed for receiver tests can be generated with one instrument – even if the signals greatly differ in power and frequency offset as is the case when out-of-band blocking measurements are to be performed.
