  • Patent number: 8653825
    Abstract: A measuring system contains a signal generator and at least one power meter. A device under test is supplied with a signal from the signal generator. A signal output by the device under test can be measured by the first power meter. In this context, the signal generator and the power meter are connected by a bidirectional communications link.

  • Publication number: 20130289920
    Abstract: A measuring device comprises a signal-processing device, a processor for controlling the measuring device and a communications device. The signal-processing device and the communications device are each connected to the processor. The measuring device further comprises a calibration-parameter store connected to the processor for the storage of calibration parameters. The processor is embodied to communicate calibration parameters, which are stored in the calibration-parameter store, to a calibration device by means of the communications device and to implement calibration measurements by means of the signal-processing device.

  • Publication number: 20120197572
    Abstract: A measuring device provides a central data-processing unit, a control unit and at least one memory unit. The control unit and the at least one memory unit are connected to the central data-processing unit. At a given time, the control unit compares the adjustable parameters of the measuring device with parameters for a basic setting of the measuring device and generates control commands for the adjustment of the deviating parameters, or the control unit registers the parameter changes from a given time and generates control commands from these in order to adjust the changed parameters.

  • Patent number: 8098706
    Abstract: The invention relates to a signal generator for a DSSS or CDMA signal, comprising several spread sequence memories and a digital signal processor which pre-calculates the spread sequence in an initialization phase and deposits the same in the spread sequence memory, and which supplies data symbols to an image memory in an operating phase. Each image memory contains an image table by means of which the bits of the current data symbols and at least one current bit of the spread sequence, which is sequentially read from every spread sequence memory, is imaged in at least one output value.

  • Patent number: 7480328
    Abstract: A signal generator includes a baseband unit, generating a digital, and an I/Q modulator, modulating the digital baseband signal. A storing memory stores a time slot of said digital baseband signal and an optical display unit represents the digital baseband signal stored in said memory according to a predetermined representation mode.

  • Patent number: 7257509
    Abstract: A measuring device, in particular a signal generator, comprises several functional units which may be connected to each other in various combinations, a control device which determines the connection and functions of the functional unites, and optical display device. The functional units are symbolized by function blocks which may be represented on the display device and graphically connected by connection elements. The control device controls the display device so that the functional blocks are graphically connected to each other correspondingly to the actual connection of the functional units by the connection elements.

  • Patent number: 7158564
    Abstract: The aim of the invention is to generate a digitally modulated test signal, which is generated in the form of a multitude of transmission channels from a digital modulation data stream according to a predetermined digital modulation standard, and which is fed as I and Q values to an I/Q modulator. To this end: a) a portion of the transmission channels is generated, in a modulation coder, directly from an internal or external modulation data stream according to the predetermined modulation standard; b) the I and Q values for at least one portion of the remaining channels are fed as a pre-calculated modulation data sequence of alimited length from a memory to the modulation coder, and; the I and Q values generated according to a) and b) are added and fed to the I/Q modulator.

  • Publication number: 20040196889
    Abstract: The invention relates to a signal generator (1) for a DSSS or CDMA signal, comprising several spread sequence memories (151, 161; 15N, 16N) and a digital signal processor (10) which pre-calculates the spread sequence in an initialization phase and deposits the same in the spread sequence memory (151, 161; 15N, 16N), and which supplies data symbols to an image memory (141; 14N) in an operating phase. Each image memory (141; 14N) contains an image table by means of which the bits (DI,DQ) of the current data symbols and at least one current bit of the spread sequence, which is sequentially read from every spread sequence memory, is imaged in at least one output value.
