Showing Results for Rohde & Schwarz AMIQ03/04

The I/Q Modulation Generator R&S® AMIQ and the Simulation Software R&S® WinIQSIM™ open up new dimensions for the generation of I/Q signals. The R&S® AMIQ is a dual-channel modulation generator that has consequently been designed for use as an I/Q source. It is programmed and set with the Software R&S® WinIQSIM™. The R&S AMIQ outputs I/Q baseband signals or even can generate an IF signal (up to 25 MHz).

In combination with the Vector Signal Generator R&S® SMV03, the I/Q baseband signal can be upconverted to RF.

Each channel can store 16 000 000 samples. Even at high symbol rates, sequences of sufficient length can thus be generated. With clock frequencies of up to 100 Msample/s and a high amplitude resolution of 14 bits (16 bits resolution with digital output, option R&S® AMIQ-B3), R&S® AMIQ is the ideal source for any signal in the world of digital modulation.

An automatic amplitude/offset alignment, as well as fine adjustment of the skew, provide excellent symmetry of the two channels that previously was extremely difficult to attain with dual-channel ARB generators. The error vector can thus be minimised. A typical application of R&S® AMIQ and R&S® WinIQSIM™ is not only to drive the I/Q inputs of a vector signal generator but also for baseband applications, for example, for testing I/Q modulators/demodulators.

When the AMIQ was upgraded, the AMIQ03 and 04 substantially widened the spectrum of applications.

• The resolution of output signals can be selected between 8 and 16 bits. This means that DACs (digital/analog converters) with different bit widths, for example, can be used with the digital I/Q output option
• Model 04 has even larger storage capacity, enabling it to store and output complex curves of up to 16 Msamples
• Digital I/Q Output option AMIQ-B3: This option adds the associated digital control signals to the analog outputs. The models 03 and 04 come ready
  for integration of the digital I/Q output option
• Models 03 and 04 may also work with an external clock via their CLK connector. This allows generators to be synchronized to a central system clock and avoid interference due to clock beats
