To generate signals using the N7649B Test Case Manager software, you must have properly configured software, instrument, and PC, as described in the following tables.

Test Case Manager Software Option Requirement

Signal Studio Software Option Requirements

Depending on the mobile standard you are testing, the following software options are required to generate and play back wanted and interferer signals.

For LTE FDD Tests

To understand what option is required for a test, see Option License Matrices.

Clause 6, Test Case 6.2.6—Requires a W-CDMA UTRA Interferer

All other LTE FDD Tests

1. With some exceptions, Option WFP can be used in lieu of this option to perform tests that use waveform files, but this option is required to use the file created with the Export Signal Studio Setting... function.

2.Required for Clause 8 tests that use a real-time signal and can be used for tests that require Options HFP and SFP.

3. Only one connectivity option is required. Select the option that matches your instrument.

For LTE TDD Tests

To understand what option is required for a test, see Option License Matrices.

Clause 6, 6.2.6—Requires a W-CDMA UTRA Interferer

All other LTE TDD Tests

1.With some exceptions, Option WFP can be used in lieu of this option to perform tests that use waveform files, but this option is required to use the file created with the Export Signal Studio Setting...

2.Required for Clause 8 tests that use a real-time signal and can be used for tests that require Options EFP and QFP.

3. Only one connectivity option is required. Select the option that matches your instrument

For W-CDMA Tests

To understand what option is required for a test, see Option License Matrices.

1. This version is required to use the exported Test Case Manager test settings.

2. Required for tests that use a real-time signal and can be used for tests that require Options EFP, FFP, and QFP.

3. Only one connectivity option is required. Select the option that matches your instrument

Supported Instruments and Recommended Options

Recommended options are denoted by parenthesis ().

For LTE FDD and TDD Tests

As indicated in the table, some instruments are only applicable to certain test clauses and for some, only certain application for that clause. Ensure that the correct instrument model is selected for the application.

1. For Clause 7 tests, wider baseband bandwidth option is recommended for single signal generator operation that combines wanted and interferer as delta frequency is limited by baseband bandwidth.

2.The Option 632 is for 2x Rx Antenna and Option 634 is for 4x Rx Antenna.

3. This is the only option required when using this signal generator as an RF upconvertor for the N5106A.

4. When using with the N5106A for MIMO tests, the number of signal generators used needs to match the number of Rx antennas on the eNB.

5. All instrument options required when using with an external fader.

6. This option required for only one signal generator when all of the following conditions are true:

• an external fader is being used instead of the N5106A

• the Clause 8 test involves closed loop

For W-CDMA Tests

1. CW interferer at frequencies <=6 GHz

2. The N5106A PXB pairs with only the N5182B or the N5172B X-Series RF Vector Signal Generators.

3. If paired with an N5106A PXB, the signal generator requires only Option 506.

4. Real-time option required for Clause 8 tests when using an external fader.

5. Option UNV Enhanced Dynamic Range is needed when using a high-power interferer that is close to the wanted signal.
