MSRA configuration
Access
: [MODE] > "Multi Standard Radio Analyzer" tab
MSRA is a special operating mode on the R&S
FSWP.
When you switch the operating mode of a measurement channel to MSRA mode the
first time, the Sequencer is automatically activated in continuous mode (see
ter 4.3, "Using the sequencer in MSRA mode"
on page 23), starting an I/Q Analyzer
data acquisition with the default settings (but with a "Spectrum" result display). The "I/Q
Analyzer" menu is displayed, providing access to the most important configuration
functions.
Configuring the MSRA primary
The MSRA primary is the only channel that captures data. It also controls global con-
figuration settings for all secondary applications. Thus, all settings that refer to data
acquisition can only be configured in the MSRA primary tab. These settings are deacti-
vated in the configuration overviews and dialog boxes for all secondary application
channels. All other settings, e.g. concerning the evaluated data range, the display con-
figuration or analysis, can be configured individually for each secondary application
and the primary application.
Restrictions
Note that although some restrictions apply to parameters that affect both the MSRA
primary and secondary applications (see
Chapter 5.4, "Restrictions for secondary
on page 29), it does not matter in which order you configure them. If any
contradictions occur between the captured data and the data to be evaluated, error
messages are displayed in the status bar of the secondary application and an icon (
or ) is displayed next to the channel label. However, you will not be prevented from
configuring contradictory settings.
Importing and Exporting I/Q Data
The I/Q data to be evaluated in the I/Q Analyzer application can not only be captured
by the MSRA primary itself, it can also be imported to the R&S
FSWP, provided it has
the correct format. Furthermore, the captured I/Q data from the MSRA primary can be
exported for further analysis in external applications.
For details see the R&S
FSWP I/Q Analyzer and I/Q Input User Manual.
Configuring an I/Q Analyzer as an MSRA secondary application
Access
: [MODE] > "Multi Standard Radio Analyzer" tab > "Select Meas"
In principle, the I/Q Analyzer in MSRA mode is configured as in Signal and Spectrum
Analyzer mode.
However, the I/Q Analyzer secondary application (
not primary
) in MSRA mode can also
perform measurements on the captured I/Q data in the time and frequency domain
(see also
Chapter 5.5, "Measurements in the time and frequency domain"
