The MG3700A Vector Signal Generator (hereafter referred to as “MG3700A”) is a signal generator that integrates
a 160-MHz high-speed ARB baseband generator.With features that include a broadband vector modulation
bandwidth and large-capacity ARB memory, it supports digital modulation signals for a variety of communication
systems.The MG3700A provides optimal performance for generating signals for new wireless communications
in advancing broadband technology, as well as for major mobile telecommunication systems such as mobile
phones and wireless LANs.
Since the standard MG3700A comes equipped with an ARB generator, modulation signals can be output simply
by selecting a waveform pattern that conforms to each supported communication system.The following four
categories of waveform patterns are available for the MG3700A:
•Standard waveform patterns
•Waveform patterns generated by the optional waveform pattern option (Model: MX3700xxA)
•
Waveform patterns generated by the optional waveform generation software IQproducer (Model: MX3701xxA)
•Waveform patterns converted from data generated by commonly-used signal generation software, so
as to be available for the MG3700A.
Each waveform category above contains multiple waveform pattern files in which parameters conforming to
each communication system are set in advance.The default waveform patterns are saved on the MG3700A hard
disk, allowing users to make free use of them. In addition, optional waveform patterns are also available.
The waveform generation software IQproducer is provided with the system to support various communication
methods. Parameter setting for the waveform data of a corresponding communication system can generate an
arbitrary waveform pattern file that can be used by MG3700A.
MG3700A can output signals by choosing a waveform pattern when the generated arbitrary waveform pattern
file is downloaded to MG3700A via LAN or a CompactFlash (CF) card.
Furthermore, an IQ sample file in ASCII format, generated by common EDA (Electronic Design Automation)
software such as MATLAB®,can be converted into a waveform pattern file for MG3700A.Thus, a user can
arbitrarily generate a custom waveform pattern file.

■AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise) Supports Dynamic Range Test
When performing the receiver dynamic range test specified by 3GPP, AWGN with a W-CDMA modulation signal is required.
Either of the AWGN waveform patterns AWGN_3_84MHz_x2 or AWGN_3_84MHz_x1_5, which are stored on the MG3700A internal
hard disk, can be used for an AWGN signal.
Since a single MG3700A can add a W-CDMA uplink modulation signal and AWGN signal internally and output them as a combined
signal, it is useful for a simple dynamic range test for base station receivers.

The signals for testing the receiver and transmitter of the
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO access network (base station) and
access terminal (mobile station), which are specified in 3GPP2,
can be output by selecting one of these CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
waveform patterns. Thirteen forward and ten reverse data rate
waveform patterns are available.
When multi-carrier signals, mixed signals of idle and active,

•Access terminal (AT) receiver test

required for testing the AT. No protocol is supported for the access network simulator. In addition, all the transmission channels
are traffic, and all the other channels (e.g., Sync) are unsupported; it is necessary to calculate the PER by controlling the AT
using an external controller.

(AWGN: Additive White Gaussian Noise)
When performing the receiver dynamic range test specified by

Either of the AWGN waveform patterns AWGN_1.23MHz_x2 or
AWGN_1.23MHz_x1_5, which are stored on the MG3700A
internal hard disk, can be used for an AWGN signal.
Since a single MG3700A can add a CDMA2000 uplink

them as a combined signal, it is useful for a simple dynamic

station, as well as device evaluation.

length (511 bits for PN9), and the PN sequence becomes
discontinuous at the end.
∗2: This is the case where the timing signal and 1.2288 Mcps x 11

test target base station to the MG3700A in order to provide
synchronization of the frame start point and chip clock.

required to execute transmission/reception tests as specified in
ARIB STD-27 are provided on the MG3700A internal hard disk.
Modulation signals conforming to the standard can be output
without any options (Note: Check the parameters listed on the
next page in advance).

are provided for full rate and half rate, respectively.
When a signal is required that has parameters different from
those of the provided waveform patterns, parameter setting and
waveform pattern generation are available using the optional
MX370102A TDMA IQproducer.

■With the waveform combine function, a single MG3700A outputs a signal that is the addition (such
as modulation signal + AWGN) of the wanted signal and interfering signal:
The MG3700A has ARB memory that consists of two memory areas, each allowing one waveform pattern to be set. The addition of
the signals from the two memories, as well as the signal for either one, can be output.
For example, if a wanted signal (W-CDMA, CDMA2000) waveform pattern is selected for one memory and an interfering signal
(AWGN) waveform pattern for the other, a signal that is the addition of the wanted signal and interfering signal (AWGN) shown in the
upper figures below can be output with a single MG3700A.
Also, if a modulation signal is selected as the interfering signal, the addition of the wanted signal and interfering signal (modulation
signal) shown in the lower figures below can also be output with a single MG3700A.
Furthermore, the accuracy of the level ratio is superior since the S/N adjustment and calculation are performed by digital processing.
