2 Welcome to the R&S EX-IQ-BOX...

...the Digital Interface Module

While in the past the transmission of the analog I/Q signals had played an important role,
nowadays it is the digital I/Q signals that are significant. The utilization of digital I/Q signals
leads to the employment of different transmission protocols and still involves the devel-
opment of different interface types with a great variety of physical characteristics.

The R&S

 

EX-IQ-BOX, as a configurable interface module, is designed to solve this prob-

lem. The main application field of this device is the conversion of signal properties and
transmission protocols of the R&S instruments into User Defined or standardized signal
formats and vice versa.

To digitally transmit I/Q signals, R&S instruments like signal generators, signal analyzers,
communication testers and the R&S

 

EX-IQ-BOX communicate with each other, using an

R&S wide standardized transmission protocol, which is based on 

LVDS

 (

L

ow 

V

oltage

D

ifferential 

S

ignaling).

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.

In applications with 

standardized protocols

 the R&S

 

EX-IQ-BOX not only provides the

I/Q data, but also the control information of the respective standard. Equipped with the
respective options, the R&S

 

EX-IQ-BOX supports the standardized protocol 

CPRI

(

C

ommon 

P

acket 

R

adio 

I

nterface). This protocol defines a combined interface for the

transmission of I/Q and control data between the baseband and RF module of a base
station.

The R&S

 

EX-IQ-BOX is directly connected to the digital interface of an R&S instrument

by using an LVDS cable. For connection to the DUT, various interchangeable adapters
are available, so called 

breakout boards

. Breakout boards adapt the signals physically.

A breakout board is directly connected to the user interface on the front panel of the
R&S

 

EX-IQ-BOX.

●

For 

User Defined applications

, two different breakout boards are provided with the

R&S

 

EX-IQ-BOX, supporting single ended and differential signals.

●

For 

CPRI

 applications, separate options support the respective signal formats.

The R&S

 

EX-IQ-BOX is controlled via the USB interface. It is operated from a PC by

using the configuration software 

R&S

 

DigIConf

.

Test setups of the R&S

 

EX-IQ-BOX 

1409.5505.02

 with instruments of the R&S SMU or

R&S FSQ families provide control of the R&S

 

EX-IQ-BOX without using the digital inter-

face configuration software R&S

 

DigIConf. But this constellation applies only to 

User

Defined

 applications.

Due to the enhanced capabilities of the 

R&S

 

EX-IQ-BOX 1409.5505K04

, this model is

exclusively controlled by R&S

 

DigIConf and applies to all applications.
