IntroductionXM Radio


2 IntroductionThe R&S Signal Generator enables you to generate signals in accordance with theXM-Radio standard.

The equipment layout of R&S SMUx/AMU for generating XM-Radio signals includesthe options Baseband Main Module (R&S SMx/AMU-B13), Baseband Generator(R&S SMx/AMU-B9/B10/B11) and XM-Radio (R&S SMx/AMU-K56).

The equipment layout of R&S SMBV instrument for generating XM-Radio signalsincludes one of the options Baseband Generator (R&S SMx/AMU-B10/B51) and optionXM-Radio (R&S SMx/AMU-K56).

Per baseband, one satellite signal or one terrestrial signal can be generated.

In the case of two-path instruments, at least one further option R&S SMx/AMU-B9/B10/B11 (Baseband Generator) is needed for generating a XM-Radio signal in thesecond path.

2.1 Modulation System XM-RADIO

The XM-Radio signal consists of ensemble A and ensemble B.

Within an ensemble, the XM-Radio signal is transmitted via two satellites (QPSK-mod-ulation) and additionally via one terrestrial repeater (COFDM-modulation).

Figure 2-1: XM-Radio Frequency Band

The following table shows the carrier frequencies for the corresponding channels:

Sync. Output to External Trigger(For "Trigger Source > External")

Enables/disables output of the signal synchronous to the external trigger event.

For R&S SMBV instruments:

For or two or more R&S SMBVs that work in a master-slave mode, configure thisparameter depending on the provided system trigger event and the properties of theoutput signal. See the table below for an overview of the required settings.Table 3-1: Typical applications

System trigger Application "Sync. Output to External Trig-ger"

Common External Trigger eventfor the master and the slaveinstruments

All instruments are synchronousto the external trigger event

On

All instruments are synchronousamong themselves but startingthe signal from first symbol ismore important than synchronicitywith external trigger event

Off

Internal trigger signal of the mas-ter R&S SMBV for the slaveinstruments

All instruments are synchronousamong themselves

Off

"On" Corresponds to the default state of this parameter.The signal calculation starts simultaneously with the external triggerevent but because of the instrument’s processing time the first sam-ples are cut off and no signal is outputted. After elapsing of the inter-nal processing time, the output signal is synchronous to the triggerevent.




"Off" The signal output begins after elapsing of the processing time andstarts with sample 0, i.e. the complete signal is outputted.This mode is recommended for triggering of short signal sequenceswith signal duration comparable with the processing time of theinstrument.

3.3.4 Clock Settings

The Clock Settings is used to set the clock source and a delay if necessary.

Sync. Mode(for R&S SMBV only)

Selects the synchronization mode.

This parameter is used to enable generation of precise synchronous signal of severalconnected R&S SMBVs.

Note: If several instruments are connected, the connecting cables from the masterinstrument to the slave one and between each two consecutive slave instruments musthave the same length and type.Avoid unnecessary cable length and branching points.




"None" The instrument is working in standalone mode.

"Sync. Master" The instrument provides all connected instrument with its synchroni-zation (including the trigger signal) and reference clock signal.

"Sync. Slave" The instrument receives the synchronization and reference clock sig-nal from another instrument working in a master mode.

Remote command: [:SOURce<hw>]:BB:XMRadio:SATellite:CLOCk:SYNChronization:MODEon page 49[:SOURce<hw>]:BB:XMRadio:TERRestrial:CLOCk:SYNChronization:MODEon page 49

Remote-Control CommandsXM Radio


4 Remote-Control CommandsThe following commands are required to perform signal generation with the XM-Radiooption in a remote environment. We assume that the R&S Signal Generator hasalready been set up for remote operation in a network as described in the R&S SignalGenerator documentation. A knowledge about the remote control operation and theSCPI command syntax are assumed.

Conventions used in SCPI command descriptionsFor a description of the conventions used in the remote command descriptions, seesection "Remote Control Commands" in the R&S Signal Generator operating manual.

Common suffixes

The following common suffixes are used in remote commands:

Suffix Value range Description

SOURce<hw> [1]|2 available baseband signals

OUTPut<ch> 1 .. 4 available markers

R&S SMBV supports two markers

EXTernal<ch> 1|2 external trigger connectors

Placeholder <root>

For commands that read out or save files in the default directory, the default directoryis set using command MMEM:CDIRectory. The examples in this description use theplace holder <root> in the syntax of the command.● D:\ - for selecting the internal hard disk of a Windows instrument● E:\ - for selecting the memory stick which is inserted at the USB interface of a

Windows instrument● /var/user/ - for selecting the internal flash card of a Linux instrument● /usb/ - for selecting the memory stick which is inserted at the USB interface of a

Linux instrument.



Tasks (in manual or remote operation) that are also performed in the base unit in thesame way are not described here.In particular, this includes:● Managing settings and data lists, i.e. storing and loading settings, creating and

accessing data lists, accessing files in a particular directory, etc.● Information on regular trigger, marker and clock signals as well as filter settings, if

appropriate.● Information on marker signals and filter settings, if appropriate.● General instrument configuration, such as configuring networks and remote opera-

tion● Using the common status registers

For a description of such tasks, see the R&S Signal Generator operating manual.
