Digital Signal Interface Module (Option 003/004)

Operating the N5102A Module in Output Mode

This section shows how to set the parameters for the N5102A module using the signal generator UI

in the output direction. Each procedure contains a figure that shows the softkey menu structure for

the interface module function being performed.

Setting up the Signal Generator Baseband Data

The digital signal interface module receives data from a baseband source and outputs a digital IQ or

digital IF signal relative to the selected logic type. Because a signal generator provides the baseband

data, the first procedure in operating the interface module is configuring the signal generator using

one of the real- time or ARB modulation formats, or playing back a stored file using the Dual ARB

player. For information on configuring the signal generator, refer to

Chapter 8, “Basic Digital

Operation (Option 653/655/656/657),” on page 145.

1. Preset the signal generator.

2. Select the modulation format (GSM, Custom, and so forth) and set the desired parameters.

3. Turn- on the modulation format.

Accessing the N5102A Module User Interface

Figure 10- 9 shows the Auxiliary menu that is accessed by pressing the Aux Fctn key on the front

panel of the signal generator.
