Using two R&S TSME6s in parallel
Using two R&S
TSME6s in parallel enhances the measurement capability compared to
a single R&S
TSME6, and can increase measurement speed.
Synchronized devices are time-synchronous, not phase-synchronous.
It is recommended to connect every R&S
TSME6s with a dedicated network connec-
tion to the used PC.
A R&S
TSME6 intelligently captures signals of multiple technologies at the same time,
if they fall within its 20
MHz frontend.
If two R&S
TSME6s are connected, and a technology option is installed on at least one
of the R&S
TSME6s, the measurement software can perform measurements on both
R&S
TSME6 frontends. Thus you can create a virtual 40
MHz frontend.
Therefore, performing measurements on combined R&S
TSME6s is faster than per-
forming them on separate R&S
TSME6s in shared spectrum networks.
Using two R&S
TSME6s in parallel requires the following options:
●
A band option (R&S
TSME6-KxB) on each R&S
TSME6
●
Identical technology options on both R&S
TSME6s to perform measurements on
both R&S
TSME6 frontends simultaneously
The following table demonstrates some sample configurations and applications for par-
allel usage.

LTE MIMO setups with two R&S TSME6s
Basic LTE MIMO measurements are possible with a single R&S TSME6, which can
analyze two different transmission paths of a signal from two different transmit anten-
nas. A single R&S
TSME6 can determine the RSRP/Q and RS SINR results for both
paths (see documentation of the measurement software for details).
If two R&S TSME6s are connected to one host PC, multiple signals can be received by
two receive antennas and processed in one application. This is useful, for example, to
analyze a MIMO matrix, condition numbers, or ranks, or generally to optimize the LTE
MIMO setup.
