It has never been so easy

WinIQSIM was especially developed for the generation of digitally modulated signals. Complex signals can thus
easily be generated. The graphical user
interface allows intuitive operation, supported by context-sensitive help. The convenient way of creating any TDMA frame
configurations with the aid of a data
editor, and the generation of multicarrier
signals as well as of complex WCDMA
signals make WinIQSIM suitable
for a wide range of applications. Moreover, additive impairments can be superimposed on a signal.
The signals generated with the aid of the
WinIQSIM software can be output by the integrated solution in the
SMU (option SMU-B10) and
the SMIQ (option SMIQB60)
as well as the Arbitrary Waveform Generator AMIQ. WinIQSIM is
provided with these three arbitrary waveform generators free of charge.

In developing WinIQSIM, great
importance was attached to user-friendly
operation. The main parameters of a signal, for example, are indicated in a status
line. The context-sensitive online help
enables handling of even complex functions without consulting the manual.
The program always starts with the settings of the previous session, thus ensuring easy continuation of work.
Simulation of I/Q impairments, here for 16QAM
Single carrier (2, 3)

Modulation parameters such as type of
modulation, coding, symbol rate, filter
and window functions as well as oversampling can be set for a single-carrier
signal.
Impairments which may be caused by a

real I/Q modulator are also taken into
consideration. It is, for example, easy to
simulate I/Q imbalance, carrier leakage or
quadrature error. The simulation of VCO
noise or phase and frequency offsets of
an oscillator are some of the very special

features of WinIQSIM. These and
many other settings enable the user to
take real impairments into account early
in the development phase of components
and modules.
WCDMA, CDMA (4 to 12)

The comprehensive functionality of
WinIQSIM allows various
WCDMA systems to be implemented: for
example, both modes of the 3GPP standard, FDD (frequency division duplex) and
TDD (time division duplex), are implemented. Signals can likewise be generated in accordance with the TD-SCDMA
standard. The North-American standards
CDMA2000 and cdmaOne are also
included in WinIQSIM.
All data and control channels defined by
the relevant standard are supported.
These include the synchronization channels such as primary and secondary common control channel (P-CCPCH and
S-CCPCH) or synchronization channels
(P-SCH and S-PCH).
Simulation of defined phase noise on a 16QAM-modulated signal
For the WCDMA standards as well as for

the cdmaOne and CDMA2000 standards, the orthogonal codes, data
sources (PRBS, pattern or user-programmable sequences), and the power of the
individual code channels can be varied,
so that a large variety of signals can be
generated.
WinIQSIM provides various display modes for visualizing the settings.
The code domain display shows the distribution and occupancy of the individual
channels in the code domain. Any code
domain conflicts can be automatically
resolved by a click. The channel graph
includes all active channels. Synchronization and special channels are shown in
red; data channels in green.
For statistical evaluation of the CDMA
signal characteristics, WinIQSIM
allows the complementary cumulative
distribution function (CCDF) to be calculated (including the crest factor) and
graphically displayed. In addition, the
resulting adjacent-channel power can be
calculated.
Definition of a code channel scenario for 3GPP FDD mode
Settings shown in code

domain display mode
and in channel graph
Depending on the selected symbol rate,

up to 512 code channels with a chip rate
of 3.84 Mcps are generated in the FDD
mode for testing base stations under realistic as well as under worst-case conditions.
For this purpose, signals are generated
which contain up to four mobile or base
stations with different scrambling codes.
WinIQSIM also allows the power
of the individual data channels to be varied via TPC (transmit power control),
which is used to control the power of the
different channels in line with the 3GPP
standard.
WinIQSIM supports the antenna
diversity schemes specified by the 3GPP
standard. Either the specification for
antenna 1 or that for antenna 2 can be
used so that the signal will be generated
in line with the 3GPP specification.
Calculation of complementary cumulative

distribution function (CCDF) and adjacentchannel power (ACP) for 3GPP FDD mode
using test model 1 with 64 channels
In the downlink, not only DPCHs (dedicated physical channels) are available as
data channels but also HS-PDSCHs (high
speed physical downlink shared channels) with the modulation modes QPSK
and 16QAM for HSDPA (high speed
downlink packet access) and HS-SCCHs
(high speed shared control channels).
HSDPA packet subframes 0 to 4 and continuous transmission are supported.
In the uplink, the mobile station can operate in one of the three permitted modes:
PRACH only (physical random access
channel), PCPCH only (physical common
packet channel) and DPCCH + DPDCH
(dedicated physical control channel and
dedicated physical data channel).
HS-DPCCH (high speed dedicated physical control channel) for HSDPA uplink is
also supported.
The versatile settings enable even very
specific tests to be carried out. For
3GPP FDD, for example, the compressed
mode is supported, which allows handover of a mobile station from a 3GPP FDD
4
Editing of compressed mode
base station to a base station (3GPP FDD,

3GPP TDD or GSM) with a different frequency. For this purpose, transmission
and reception of the 3GPP FDD signal has
to be interrupted for a certain time. In this
transmission gap, the mobile station can
change to the frequency of the potential
new base station in order to read, for
example, the system information or the
receive level of this base station. To allow
the same data quantity to be transmitted
in the remaining shorter time, data is

compressed. WinIQSIM allows
extensive user-defined settings for all
physical layer compressed mode parameters.
In the TDD mode of the 3GPP standard,
the link directions of the individual slots
can be conveniently selected. The user
can define whether each timeslot is to act
as an uplink or a downlink.
Up to four cells with 15 timeslots each can

be generated; different spreading factors
are permitted for each channel. For the
data channels (DPCH), all spreading factors
permitted by the standard are available.
In the TDD mode, it is very important to
calculate the CCDF not only for the total
signal, but also for a specific timeslot.
Since the system is made up of timeslots
that can be switched on or off independently of one another, only the CCDF of
an active slot is often of interest. This
makes it possible, for example, to optimally design the output amplifier of a
mobile phone, since the amplifier is
active in one slot only.
TD-SCDMA is basically similar to the
3GPP TDD mode. The two modes differ in
the chip rate, which is 1.28 Mcps for
TD-SCDMA instead of 3.84 Mcps for TDD.
According to the TD-SCDMA standard,
the link direction of the individual slots
cannot be selected by the user as conveniently as in the 3GPP TDD mode, which
has been taken into account by
WinIQSIM. With TD-SCDMA,
special timeslots are provided for the
uplink and the downlink. To carry out certain tests on mobile stations, only the
downlink pilot may be active, however.
This is why WinIQSIM generates
the downlink signals only.

With cdmaOne, the previous US standard

for CDMA technology is included in
WinIQSIM. With CDMA2000,
the following generation of the US standard has also been implemented.
WinIQSIM supports the modes 1x
with 1.2288 Mcps and 3x with
3.6864 Mcps; the 3x mode can optionally
be generated according to the directspread or multicarrier method. Up to four
mobile or base stations can be simulated
simultaneously. The same applies to the
1xEV-DO standard (see Fig. 11), which
represents a further development of the
CDMA2000 1x mode and is also supported by WinIQSIM. 1xEV-DO
stands for CDMA2000 1x Evolution Data
Only. This standard enables packetoriented data transfer at a rate of up to
2.4 Mbps in a 1.25 MHz CDMA2000 1x
channel.
The open software concept of
WinIQSIM allows continuous
adaptation to the rapid development of
third-generation mobile radio standards.
The user is thus always up to the state of
the art.
Due to the superposition of many code
channels, high power peaks occur in all
CDMA and WCDMA signals, which is
reflected in a high crest factor. This
means that a wide dynamic range is
required for the transmission system with
all its components such as power amplifiers. Since extreme signal peaks are relatively rare, as can be seen from the CCDF,
clipping of the signal peaks can be performed without essentially degrading the
bit error ratio. Clipping prior to baseband
filtering does not cause a change in the
frequency spectrum of the signal, either.
The clipping level can be set between 1%
and 100% relative to the maximum level
peak. In the TDD mode of the 3GPP standard, and also with TD-SCDMA, scalar
clipping is available in addition to conventional vector clipping.

W-LAN (13)
In addition to the comprehensive functionality for the mobile radio standards,
WinIQSIM also covers the Wireless LAN standards IEEE 802.11a,
IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g.
13
The OFDM modulation mode of

IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g is supported by WinIQSIM, including all
bit rates from 6 Mbps to 54 Mbps with full
channel coding.
WinIQSIM is also capable of generating signals to IEEE 802.11b. It supports the four data rates 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps,
5.5 Mbps and 11 Mbps as well as the
modulation modes DBPSK, DQPSK and
CCK. A direct sequence spread spectrum
method is used for radio transmission.
Irrespective of the data rate, a chip rate of
11 Mcps is used with this method.

The maximum possible signal length
that can be generated by using of
WinIQSIM depends on the
memory size of the ARB solution used,
IEEE 802.11 specific settings, marker
settings1) and oversampling.

OFDM, transmission speed = 6 Mbps, data frame length = 8000 bits (=1000 octets incl. MAC header and FCS), idle time between

frames = 16 s.
CCK, transmission speed = 11 Mbps, data frame length = 8192 bits (=1024 octets incl. MAC header and FCS), idle time between
frames = 10 s.
Additionally, the IEEE 802.11b and

IEEE 802.11g modes include PBCC with
5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 22 Mbps and
33 Mbps.
Since data is transferred in packets with
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b and
IEEE 802.11g, WinIQSIM enables
the user to enter the number of packets,
the packet length and the idle time
between the packets. For test purposes,
WinIQSIM can additionally simulate a continuous data stream without
packet structure (unframed mode).
Other OFDM standards
(e.g. HIPERLAN/2) are covered by the
additional software program
WinIQOFDM*).

Data editor (14, 15)

Another special feature of
WinIQSIM is the data editor for
convenient generation of TDMA frame
structures, which is especially designed
for the single-carrier mode.
WinIQSIM already provides preconfigured files for the main TDMA standards such as GSM, GSM / EDGE, DECT,
PDC and NADC. A choice of different
burst types with the associated data
structure is available for the individual
systems. Frame and timeslot configuration conform to the relevant standard.
Basic configurations can easily be modified, stored and used again in subsequent tests.
Main menu of data editor
The data editor provides users defining or

developing new TDMA standards with an
almost infinite number of possibilities.
The structure of a TDMA signal with its
basic elements (data fields of a burst) can
be completely defined and successively
configured into bursts and frames. In this
way, it is possible to design an individual
standard. In addition to the graphical representation of the data structures, power
ramping can also be defined at the data
level.

Multicarrier signals (16, 17)
16
In addition to single-carrier signals, multicarrier signals with all their characteristic

parameters such as number of carriers
(up to 512), carrier spacing, modulation
(same for all carriers) and carrier power
can be simulated. In this way, composite
signals consisting of modulated and
unmodulated carriers or signals with
several superimposed impairments can
be generated. What makes this application so attractive is that only one generator is needed to produce these signals,
which means an enormous cost benefit.
Another operating mode (multicarrier
mixed signal mode) allows up to 32 differently modulated carriers to be combined
with any signal from various systems
(single-carrier, multicarrier, 3GPP FDD
and TDD, TD-SCDMA, CDMA2000,
IS-95) at variable power levels. Signal
scenarios such as several different
WCDMA carriers can thus be simultaneously simulated and generated by the
SMU-B10, SMIQB60 or
AMIQ.

Import system (18)

Data from other PC programs can be read
in via the import system. The TCP/IP or
the dynamic data exchange (DDE) interface serves as the software interface.
Data can, for example, be imported from
the WinIQOFDM software, which is
used for generating OFDM-modulated
signals. Through subsequent processing
in WinIQSIM, signal modifications such as baseband filtering and
superimposed impairments can be
applied to the signal to be generated.
The import interface also forms the basis
for further applications
(e.g. IQWizard; for more information
see www.rohde-schwarz.com) or customer-specific enhancements.

Remote-control functions (19)

The WinIQSIM PC program is
used to control and operate the internal
arbitrary waveform generators of the
SMU (SMU-B10), SMIQ
(SMIQB60) and the I/Q Modulation
Generators AMIQ.
For the AMIQ, it provides file management on the internal hard disk, and
controls the hardware settings and all
other functions.
The device control functionality of
WinIQSIM device control is especially important in bit error ratio measurements with the AMIQ (option
AMIQ-B1). In addition to performing
the control functions, the software outputs the measurement results in an
WinIQSIM window.
