About the Multi Carrier
To simulate complex multi carrier scenarios with different baseband signals, the
SSG5000X provides the possibility to generate multi carrier waveforms. These
waveforms can consist of up to 512 carriers, each modulated by the same or by
different user-selectable baseband signal. Complex multi carrier scenarios
composed of signals from different digital standards can be created by this
function.
Because the multi carrier files are processed by the ARB generator, the composed
waveform file must be created before it is loaded to and played by the ARB. The
SSG5000X stores the created multi carrier waveform file under user definable name;
as with the single carrier waveforms, the used file extension is *.arb, same as the
signal carrier waveform. The instrument appends additional information to the
