Welcome to the R&S
SZU
The Rohde & Schwarz R&S
SZU is an IQ upconverter designed for the 60
GHz
frequency band. These frequencies are used in modern high-performance wire-
less communication standards, e.g. IEEE802.11
ad. Operating in the 60
GHz fre-
quency band enables devices to communicate at multi-gigabit speed, with data
transfer rates of several Gbit/s.

About the R&S
SZU
IQ Upconverter
The R&S
SZU generates a vector-modulated signal by converting the baseband
signal to the output frequency range of 58.32
GHz to 64.8
GHz (center fre-
quency).
The R&S
SZU receives the differential or single ended baseband signals (I/Q),
and an LO signal in the range of 1.944
GHz to 2.16
GHz from the R&S
SMW.
The USB host interface is the communication port of the R&S
SZU to the
R&S
SMW. As external instrument, the R&S
SZU is configured in the "System
Configuration" dialog of the R&S
SMW, and indicated by a symbol in the GUI.
Once connected, the R&S
SMW reads the calibration data of the R&S
SZU, and
