g. Input attenuation: 0
h. Input coupling: AC
i. Trigger source: internal, free running
6. Verify that both UWB transceivers are powered on.
7. Open a command window on each of the Linux PCs depicted in Figure 8.
8. Use the cd command as necessary on each Linux PC to move to the directory
containing the mode application supplied with the Motorola SDK.
9. Run the following commands on the Linux PC connected to the UWB destination
transceiver:
./config 1 114 NONE 16k 0
./mode PR
./stats FRAM MACAddress
See the Motorola UWB Software Development Kit Utilities Guide for definitions of the
parameters used with the mode, config and stats commands. Be sure to replace the
parameter MACAddress with the proper value for the destination transceiver.
10. Run the following commands on the Linux PC connected to the UWB source transceiver
(replace the MACAddress parameter with the proper value for the source transceiver):
./config 1 114 NONE 16k 0
./mode PT
./stats FRAM MACAddress
11. Verify that the FER reported at the destination transceiver is approximately 2%.
12. Adjust the manual attenuator setting (i.e. change the signal reaching the destination
transceiver) until an FER of 10% (1X10
-1
) is reached as reported by the statistics.
13. Record the power on the spectrum analyzer at f
c
in the dBm/MHz column associated
with a 10% FER, 114 Mbps raw channel rate and a FEC rate of 1.
14. Repeat steps 12 and 13 for an FER value of 2% (2X10
-2
). This lower FER value will be
achieved by decreasing the loss in the manual attenuator.
15. Terminate the stats command running on the Linux machine connected to the
destination UWB transceiver. Then run the following commands in a Linux terminal
window on the same PC:
./mode B
./config 0.75 114 NONE 16k 0
./mode PR
./stats FRAM MACAddress
16. Terminate the stats command running on the Linux machine connected to the source
UWB transceiver. Then run the following commands in a Linux terminal window on the
same PC:
./mode B
./config 0.75 114 NONE 16k 0
./mode PT
./stats FRAM MACAddress
17. Adjust the manual attenuator setting until an FER of 10% (1X10
-1
) is reached as reported
on the destination transceiver.
