The N5102A Baseband Studio digital signal interface module works with the Agilent E4438C
ESG

or E8267C PSG
2
vector signal generators to provide a flexible digital interface for
delivering digital baseband (IQ) or digital intermediate frequency (IF) test signals. The complex
modulation formats of the signal generators, including W-CDMA, multitone, 1xEV-DV, WLAN
and many more, are available at the bit level for testing digital components, transceivers, and
subsystems. The N5102A module delivers the digital IQ or digital IF
3
signals to your device with
the data requirements, clock features, and signaling you need. With its selection of logic types
and break-out board connectors, the interface module connects into your test system, in most
cases eliminating the need for custom fixtures.
The N5102A module provides many features:
•
output mode (requires Option 003)
•
input mode (requires Option 004)
•
bit level access to arbitrary waveform generator (ARB) and real-time signal generator
baseband data from a wide range of signal creation applications
•
simple user interface
•
flexible data formats
—
variable 4-bit to 16-bit word size
—
serial, parallel, and parallel interleaved data transmission
—
2’s complement or offset binary word representation
—
MSB or LSB bit order
—
digital IQ or digital IF
