2) Waveform data
transferred to
MG3700A
1) GPS waveform
data generated.
The waveform patterns must be installed on the
MG3700A HDD only for the first time.
Waveforms can then be read from the HDD.
3) Waveform data
selected and
output
Purpose:
Confirm position
function and map
displays
Usage Notes
1. Cold start the receiver. (Do not leave any previous data remaining.)
2. Check the receiver map display between each waveform pattern output.

[MG3700A] Hardware Features
The key MG3700A features are
listed opposite.
In particular, the waveform addition
function saves different patterns in
the two built-in memories and
outputs them simultaneously.
Useful for following tests:
►Wanted signal + Delayed signal
►Wanted signal + Interference signal
►Wanted signal + AWGN
Performance and functions
Frequency Range 250 kHz to 6 GHz
250 kHz to 3 GHz (standard)
250 kHz to 6 GHz (option)
Wide vector modulation bandwidth
120 MHz (Internal base band generator)
150 MHz (External IQ input)
High level accuracy
0.5 dB (Absolute level accuracy)
0.2 dB typical (Linearity)
Waveform addition function
Two signals, such as wanted signal + interfering
signal or wanted signal +AWGN, can be added
and output.
Built-in BERT Analyzer.
1 kbps to 20 Mbps (standard)
100 bps to 120 Mbps (option)
40-GB hard disk built-in
Large capacity baseband memory
1 GB = 256M samples (standard)
2 GB = 512M samples (option)
High-speed waveform transmission over 100Base-TX
LAN

Slide 4
[MG3700A] Software Lineup
Since the MG3700A uses arbitrary waveform
memory, signals can be output just by
preparing waveform patterns.
Anritsu offers various waveform patterns with
preset parameters.
Moreover, IQproducer with GUI supports easy
generation of waveform patterns by setting
parameters at a PC.
Various communication
systems supported
Pre-installed Waveform Patterns:
W-CDMA/HSDPA, GSM/EDGE, PDC, PHS,
CDMA2000 1x/1xEV-DO, AWGN, Bluetooth
Ｒ
, GPS,
Digital Broadcast (ISDB-T/BS/CS/CATV),
WLAN (IEEE802.11a/11b/11g)
Optional Waveform Patterns:
- TD-SCDMA
- Public Radio System
(RCR STD-39,ARIB STD-T61/T79/T86)

Only one satellite
Minimum sensitivity level
Overall operation checks are supported by using this software to generate waveform patterns for
positioning using a PC and outputting them to the MG3700A.
Multiple satellites
Time, latitude and longitude
Signal output time is limited
by the memory upper limit
and can be replayed
repeatedly.
*Signal output time
Standard memory 1 GB (512 MB x 2) = Max. 174 s
Optional memory 2 GB (1 GB x 2) = Max. 348 s

[MG3700A] Memory Capacity and Signal Output Time
GPS Positioning Waveform
The MG3700A has two ARB memories with the following capacities.
•512 MB x 2 pc (Standard)
•1 GB x 2 pc (MG3700A-011 Option) <<Recommended
We recommend increasing the size of the waveform pattern memory using the MG3700A-011
option. 1) Standard memory: About 174 sec
2) Optional memory: About 348 sec
Memory A: 1GB Memory B: 1GB
Pattern 1
Run time: 174 s Pattern 2 Run time: 174 s

Usage Notes
1. Cold start the receiver. (Do not leave any previous data remaining.)
2. Check the map display of the receiver while outputting the waveform pattern once.
3. Press F4 (Waveform Restart) to restart (output from top) the waveform pattern.
(When restarting almost simultaneously with a receiver cold start, the output time can be used effectively.)

LTE FDD/TDD,
WLAN,
Bluetooth, etc.
Most navigation systems and PC have digital terrestrial broadcasting as
well as wireless LAN and Bluetooth. Each signal source must be tested to
avoid interference between systems.
