Anritsu MG3700A - Manual (Page 2)

The MG3700A Vector Signal Generator (hereafter referred to as “MG3700A”) is a signal generator that integrates
a 160-MHz high-speed ARB baseband generator. With features that include a broadband vector modulation
bandwidth and large-capacity ARB memory, it supports digital modulation signals for a variety of communication
systems. The MG3700A provides optimal performance for generating signals for new wireless communications
in advancing broadband technology, as well as for major mobile telecommunication systems such as mobile
phones and wireless LANs.
Since the standard MG3700A comes equipped with an ARB generator, modulation signals can be output simply
by selecting a waveform pattern that conforms to each supported communication system. The following four
categories of waveform patterns are available for the MG3700A:
• Standard waveform patterns
• Waveform patterns generated by the optional waveform pattern option (Model: MX3700xxA)
• Waveform patterns generated by the optional waveform generation software IQproducer (Model: MX3701xxA)
• Waveform patterns converted from data generated by commonly-used signal generation software, so
as to be available for the MG3700A.
Each waveform category above contains multiple waveform pattern files in which parameters conforming to
each communication system are set in advance. The default waveform patterns are saved on the MG3700A hard
disk, allowing users to make free use of them. In addition, optional waveform patterns are also available.
The waveform generation software IQproducer is provided with the system to support various communication
methods. Parameter setting for the waveform data of a corresponding communication system can generate an
arbitrary waveform pattern file that can be used by MG3700A.
MG3700A can output signals by choosing a waveform pattern when the generated arbitrary waveform pattern
file is downloaded to MG3700A via LAN or a CompactFlash (CF) card.
Furthermore, an IQ sample file in ASCII format, generated by common EDA (Electronic Design Automation)
software such as MATLAB
® , can be converted into a waveform pattern file for MG3700A. Thus, a user can
arbitrarily generate a custom waveform pattern file.
