M8190A Calibration on SystemVue
Calibration Environment Setting

Calibrating M8190A requires M8190A, SystemVue, Keysight Signal Analyzer (such
as N9030A PXA/N9020A MXA, for scalar calibration or narrow band vector signal
calibration) or wideband scope (such as Keysight InfiniiVision 2000 and 3000 X-
Series oscilloscopes, for wideband vector signal calibration).
1. Copy M8190_Calibration.wsv, M8190_scalar_cal.txt, M8190_vector_cal.txt,

16QAM_EQ.setx, LTE-A_1CC-VSA.setx and LTE-A_3CC-VSA.setx from
Examples\Instruments\M8190 to your working directory.
2. Start M8190A and run the M8190A firmware.
3. Run SystemVue and load M8190_Calibration.wsv by following these steps:

Examples 14
SystemVue opens the M8190_Calibration.wsv workspace file.
M8190_Calibration workspace consists of both scalar signal calibration

and vector signal calibration parts. The scalar signal calibration uses
the multi-tone signal as measurement signal in Part1 and vector signal
calibration uses digital modulation signal as measurement signal in
Part 2 in the workspace.
Scalar Signal Calibration

SystemVue downloads multi-tone signal into M8190A and then sends SCPI
commands to Signal Analyzer (such as Keysight N9020A or Keysight N9030A) to
get multi-tone's amplitudes at each multi-tone position. Now, SystemVue can get
calibration filter coefficients according to these received multi-tones' amplitudes.

LTE/LTE-A Signal Generation and Downloading

04_LTE LTE_A_ScalarSig folder consists of LTE-A 20MHz Downlink source
downloading schematic and LTE-A DL 3 component carriers (CC) carrier
aggregation (CA) signal downloading. In both LTE-A DL 20MHz and LTE-A DL 3CC
(60MHz) schematic, we can also enable or disable the component F1 (
FIR_Cx@Data Flow Models) to switch OFF or ON the calibration filter. After
downloading waveform into M8190A, we can also use VSA89600 software to
analyze both LTE-A DL 20MHz and LTE-A DL 3CC (60MHz) signal by recalling LTE-
A_1CC-VSA.setx and LTE-A_3CC-VSA.setx, respectively. You must reset Center
Frequency in VSA89600 if FCarrier in SystemVue does not match VSA89600.
Vector Signal Calibration

SystemVue downloads digital modulation signal into M8190A. VSA89600 software
uses Digital Demod option (AYA option) to demodulate this digital modulation with
equalizer through Keysight Signal Analyzer (MXA or PXA), PXI VSA (M9293A) or
Scope (InfiniiVision 2000 and 3000 X-Series oscilloscopes). During analysis with
equalizer, VSA89600 can output both real part and imaginary part of Channel
Response which is the M8190A channel response. SystemVue through Socket IP
reads both real part and imaginary part of Channel Response from VSA89600
software. These real part and imaginary part of Channel Response include both
amplitude and phase information within a bandwidth. This is the vector signal
calibration. After getting both real and imaginary parts of M8190A, SystemVue can
get calibration filter coefficients and apply for this calibration filter into complex
signals (such as radar, LTE/LTE-A and so on).

QAM16_SER_vs_EbNo
QAM16_SER_vs_EbNo
This VTB design uses the BER_IS model to efficiently compute a BER waterfall
curve for a 16-QAM system. VTB parameters include the signal symbol rate,

properly before they are processed to compute BER (the default detection
thresholds used by the BER_IS model assume input signal levels equally spaced
between -1 and 1).

How to set SVE_Link properties in LTE workspaces

Users can optionally define the SVE_Link properties by setting DefineProperties to
YES. When DefineProperties is set to YES, parameters related to SVE_Link
properties, including InFeedbackLoop, SampleRate, and InputFcs, can be defined
by values or expressions.
InFeedbackLoop: Specify whether the SVE_Link is in a feedback loop: NO,
YES. In WLAN 802.11ad examples, there is no feedback loop, hence
InFeedbackLoop is set to NO.
SampleRate: Sample rate of the signal. In WLAN 802.11ad examples, in the
Equations tab of the design, SampleRate is calculated from MCS and
OversampleRation.
InputFcs: Array of characterization frequencies of input envelope signals. In
WLAN 802.11ad examples, there is only one input port in SVE_Link model,
hence InputFcs is set to [FCarrier_In].
53 Examples
Otherwise when DefineProperties is set to NO, the VTB process will analyze the full
design and provide such information to the integrating tool.

according to [1].

The center frequency of the input signal to DUT( SVE_Link in the design) is set by
FCarrier_In, while center frequency of the output signal from DUT( SVE_Link in the
The sampling rate of the aggregated signal is explicitly specified by
OutputSampleRate. Make sure the sampling rate is sufficient to analyze the
aggregated signal and can be handled by SystemVue simulation. However, large
OutputSampleRate would significantly slow down the simulation. The transmitted
signal of each component carrier would be resampled and combined in model
SSignalCombiner. Also, make sure OutputSampleRate is multiple of the base
sample rate of each component carrier.
By default, two component carriers are transmitted. The frequency of each
component carrier (CC) is set by CC#_FCarrier. By setting those center frequencies,
this design can generate either contiguous or noncontiguous aggregated signal
either intra-band or inter-band. Again, please make sure OutputSampleRate is
sufficient to analyze the aggregated signal.
Component carrier 0 would always be transmitted, while other component carriers
can be turned off by set CC#_Enable to NO. Up to 5 component carriers are
supported. Each component carrier can be configured independently. Please open
the workspace in SystemVue then you can find parameters to configure each
component carrier.
The ideal lowpass filter for spectrum shaping can be turned on/off by parameter
EnableTxFilter. The number of taps can be set by FIR_Taps. If EnableTxFilter is set
to NO, no spectrum shaping would be applied. The same spectrum shaping is
implemented for each component carrier.
Users can select one component carrier for EVM measurement by setting
parameter CCToMeas. It should be set in the range [0,4]. By default, a
ParksMcClellan bandpass filter is used before EVM measurement. This filter can be
disabled by setting EnableRxFilter to NO.
The number of simulated frames for EVM measurements is set by parameter
NumFrames.

SPECTRASYS\Transmitters\Diversity TX and Hybrid Amp.wsg
Abstract: This example includes two transmit channels combined through a hybrid
amplifier. Two mixers are used to up-convert the modulated inputs up to RF
frequencies.
Set-up: The sources # 1 and # 3 are 220 MHz modulated signals, which are
combined with local oscillator signals of 1735 MHz and 1745 MHz, respectively.
The resulting "sum" frequencies are 1955 and 1965 MHz. See example:
SPECTRASYS\Amplifiers\Quad Hybrid Matrix Amp.wsg for a discussion of hybrid
amplifiers. Except for the LO frequencies, the two channels are identical.
Observations: The transmitter output from 'IFSource1' appears at 'Out1' (port 6), as
shown below. Notice the significant power at the other (1965 MHz) RF frequency.
Insight into this effect is obtained from phase measurements.

wsv
Illustrates: the operation of a dual loop feed forward amplifier.
Basics: The power that can be achieved from a power amplifier will be largely
determined by the non-linearities in the high power amplifiers stages. A dual loop
feed forward amplifier can be used to reduce the level of the intermods at the
power amplifier output. The first loop of the feed forward amplifier will combine the
non-linear output spectrum from the main amplifier with a phase and amplitude
shifted input spectrum. These two spectrums will be combined coherently and the
input carriers will be cancelled if the carriers are 180 degrees out of phase and of
the same amplitude. We then end up with only intermods in the spectrum.
The second loop will amplify and phase shift the intermod only (error) spectrum
and it will be added back into the main amplifier path to cancel out the intermods
from the output of the power amplifier. These two intermod spectrums must be 180
degrees out of the phase and the same amplitude. Since amplifiers and other
circuits have delay, a delay line needs to be added to shortest delay path so that
the spectrums can arrive at the same time. Phase shifters and gain adjustments are
typically added so that the power amplifiers can be adjusted during manufacturing.
Set-up: 'RFAmp1' is the main amplifier. Input signals from 'Source' will be amplified
by this amplifier and intermods will also be created. A sample of this distorted
spectrum will be taken at 'Coupler2' this will be passed to 'Splitter' where it will be
combined with the delayed input spectrum.
Examples 166
A sample of the undistorted input spectrum is taken from 'Coupler1' and then
delayed by about 190 degree by the delay transmission line ('TL1'). This delay line
must be added because there will be delay through 'RFAmp1'. Enough delay is
added to place our phase adjustment ('Phase1') for this first loop at a good center
point in its adjustment range.
Out the output of 'Splitter' the input carriers will be canceled if they have the same
amplitude and are 180 degrees out of phase. 'VarAttn1' is used to adjust the
amplitude balance of the carriers. The user can examine the 'Error Amp Spec'
graph to see the amplitude error and the 'Error Phase' graph to see the phase error
of the carriers at the splitter output.
The intermod only spectrum at the splitter output will be amplified by 'RFAmp2'
(error amplifier) and will be combined back into the main path through 'Coupler3' .
A delay transmission line ('TL2') is about 370 degrees long so that the phase shifter
('Phase2') of the second loop will be set at a good nominal center point. The
intermods at the output (port 2) must be the same amplitude and 180 degrees out
of phase. 'VarAttn2' is used to adjust the amplitude of the intermods.
Observations:
1. The user can examine the output spectrum on the 'Out Spec' graph. With the
'Analyzer Mode' enabled, the user is able to see the output of the power
amplifier. Furthermore, having composite spectrum show the individual
spectral components, we can quickly see the cancellation level between the
individual pieces of the intermods and the actual output.
167 Examples
2. SPECTRASYS knows the direction of travel of all spectral components at
every node in the system. The total power is represented by a trace for every
travel direction at a node. By examining the 'Input Spectrum', the user can
see the two input signals traveling from the input port into the power
amplifier. Furthermore, the user can also see intermods and other spectrum
traveling from inside the power amplifier to the output.
Examples 168
3. With individual components enabled for the composite spectrum, it is very
easy to identify the origin and path the spectrum takes to arrive at the
examination point. By placing a marker on the intermod at 1958 MHz the
user can identify all of the pieces of spectrum that make up that intermod
and the path that it took to get to the input node. We see that the largest
offender is -54.1 dBm and its frequency is 1958 MHz which is the result of
the frequency of source 1 minus the 2nd harmonic of source 2 [S1-2xS2].
This intermod was created at node 6, the output of 'RFAmp1'. It then
propagated to nodes 7,9,13,12,3,12,13,9,14,15,1. We can see that the weak
link in the chain is the reverse isolation of RFAMP_2.
Exercises:
1. Tune 'Phase1' and examine the phase of the carriers traveling through both
paths on the 'Error Phase' graph. Notice the path of amplified spectrum and
the input sampled path. The phase difference of these signal is 180 degrees
to get the best cancellation.
2. Tune 'Phase2' and examine the phase of the intermods traveling through
both paths on the 'Out Phase' graph. Notice path of main spectrum and the
input sampled path. Again, the phase difference of these signal is 180
degrees to get the best cancellation.
3. Tune 'VarAttn1' and 'VarAttn2' and watch the respective amplitude balance
for the carriers and intermods with the 'Error Spec' and 'Out Spec' graphs.

Quad Hybrid Matrix Amp
Quad Hybrid Matrix Amp

Examples\RF Architecture Design\RF Design Kit\Amplifiers\Quad Hybrid Matrix.wsv
Abstract: The hybrid matrix amplifier is a popular power amplifier configuration that
incorporates redundancy. With the traditional design of using a single power
amplifier for every transmitter the power amplifier becomes a single point of failure.
If the amplifier dies, then so does the carrier and all of the transmitted information.
The hybrid matrix amplifier will still provide output power (albeit a lower output
power ... due to the loss of one amplifier) for all input signals. Furthermore, the
reliability of power amplifiers is typically lower than the transmitter, so the
likelihood of losing a carrier can be very high.
Background: 90 Degree hybrid couplers are used at the input to shift each input
signal (IN and ISO) by 90 degrees (ISO to 0 is a 90 degree shift and ISO to -90 is a 0
degree shift). These hybrid couplers are also used on the output to combine the
amplified signals back together. Because of the phasing, carriers will either add or
cancel at the output leaving a dedicated output for each carrier.
To illustrate this point let's look at a simple dual hybrid matrix amplifier ('Hybrid2',
'RFAmp1', 'RFAmp2', and 'Hybrid3'). Signals at the IN port of 'Hybrid2' will have a
90 degree phase shift into 'RFAmp2' and a 0 degree phase shift into 'RFAmp1'. The
output of 'RFAmp2' will have a 0 degree phase shift at the -90 output port of the
'Hybrid3'. This same signal that has a 0 degree output through 'RFAmp1' will go
through a 90 degree shift through 'Hybrid3' and will add constructively at the -90
Examples 170
output port to produce the desired, amplified output. However, 'RFAmp1' will
produce a total 0 degree phase shift at 0 port of 'Hybrid3' and 'RFAmp2' will
produce a total 180 degree phase shift at this same port and the signal will cancel.
Consequently, the output port for the dual hybrid matrix amplifier is the -90 port of
'Hybrid3' for and the IN port of 'Hybrid2'. The user can use the same logic to
examine and verify that signals on the ISO port of 'Hybrid2' will appear at the 0 port
of 'Hybrid3'.
Set-up: The following table shows the corresponding output ports for the input port
and paths for the quad hybrid matrix power amplifier.
Input Port Output Port Path Frequency
1 8 TXA 1800 MHz
2 7 TXB 1810 MHz
5 4 TXC 1820 MHz
6 3 TXD 1830 MHz
Amplifiers specified along the path have been arbitrarily defined for each path since
every amplifier will amplify each input carrier.
Observations:
1. Output spectrums are available for each output. The user can verify by
looking at these outputs that the correct carrier is present and all of the
other carriers have been cancelled. Consider the TXA output at frequency
1800 MHz. By zooming in on the 1800 MHz region, note that the other
carriers are about 37 db lower than the primary output.
171 Examples
2. Level diagrams have also been added for each input. Notice that the loss
through the input hybrid couplers is equal to the 3 dB splitting loss plus the
insertion loss. However, the output couplers show a gain of 3 dB (because of
the coherent addition taking place at that node) and a loss equal to the
insertion loss.
Exercises:
Examples 172
1. Tune the isolation of the hybrid couplers and observe the levels of the
cancelled carriers. Notice that a large change in isolation doesn't affect the
cancelled carriers levels much. However, as the isolation is lowered
spectrums will propagate for a longer period of time and the simulation will
take longer to run.
2. Set the gain of one of the amplifiers and examine the power at each output.
Notice every carrier is still present, even though the power for each carrier is
lower.
3. Change the 'Phase Balance' of 'Hybrid6' to 5 degrees and notice the A (1800
MHz) and B (1810 MHz) carriers are not cancelled as much as the other
carriers.
4. If we want to improve the performance of the carrier cancellation, the user
must understand the origin of the spectrum at those carrier frequencies.
Since the carriers are evenly spaced, intermods will also appear at those
carrier frequencies. To determine the origin of this spectrum, enable the
'Signal', 'Intermods and Harmonics', and 'Show Individual Components ...'
and place a marker at 1800, 1810, 1820, or 1830 MHz. Notice that both
carrier intermods and other components are present.

Abstract: This example shows a complete path through a transmitter and transmit
/receive antennas and finally through a receiver.
Set-up: The schematic, as shown below, has a main path from transmitter IF to
receiver IF. The frequencies simulated were:
Transmitter: IF = 220 MHz, LO = 1740 MHz, RF = 1960 MHz

Receiver: IF = 150 MHz, LO = 2110 MHz, RF = 1960 MHz
173 Examples
Observations: The transmit path, shown below, begins at 'TxSource' and ends at
the input to the transmit antenna. Notice the increase in channel power from 0
dBm at the input to over 43 dBm at the antenna.
The transmitter output spectrum includes harmonics from the mixer and amplifiers.
Only the total spectrum was selected for computation and plotting.
Examples 174

TX Noise in RX Band
TX Noise in RX Band
SPECTRASYS\Noise\TX Noise in RX Band.wsg
Abstract: This example demonstrates the use of a duplexer for a common antenna
used by transmit and receive channels. The issues related to the filter design
parameters and performance are examined. In particular, the effects of the transmit
signal and noise in the receive band are simulated.
Set-up: The path of the transmit signal is from 'TxIn', through the 'TxAmp' amplifier,
and then through channel 'A' of the duplexer. The transmit signal is centered at
1960 MHz with a 1.25 MHz bandwidth. The upper edge of the receive band is at
1910 MHz. The duplexer is formed by two fifth order Elliptic bandpass filters. The
passband for channels 'A' (transmit) and channel 'B' (receive band) are 1930 - 1990
MHz and 1850-1910 MHz, respectively.
Examples 176
Observations: Notice that the duplexer filters for both channels are identical. The
ripple is 0.5 db. The insertion loss is also 0.5 db. Attenuation in the stopband is 80
db. Of interest is the spectrum of the noise at the input to the receiver LNA (node #
9). The plot below shows the components from the duplexer and reflected power
from the receiver LNA. Also shown is the source signal of 1960 MHz through the
amplifier and duplexer.
The linear response of the duplexer filters is shown below.
177 Examples
The level diagram gives insight into the source of the noise from the duplexer. The
large increase in noise power through the transmitter amplifier is only partially
offset by filtering of the duplexer.
Exercises:
Examples 178
1. Adjust the noise figure of the transmit amplifier. Observe the effect on the
receiver noise power.
2. Determine the sensitivity to changes in the filter order, ripple, and stopband
attenuation. Why does an increase in the filter order from 5 to 7 have such a
dramatic improvement in the noise response?

Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) according to clause 6.6.4

unwanted interferer outside the uplink operating band. The test stresses
the ability of the BS receiver to withstand high-level interference from
unwanted signals at specified frequency bands, without undue
degradation of its sensitivity.
MSR_BS_TransmittedSignalQuality. This example demonstrates how to measure the MSR base station
wsv transmitted signal quality according to clause 6.5 of 3GPP TS 37.141.

output of the nonlinearity block. This means that no training sequence is
required.
EqualiserCoreRLS.wsv This example shows the use of the Complex RLS Adaptive Filter Core block in an
inverse system identification scenario. An equivalent implementation using the
Complex RLS Adaptive Filter is also provided. Note that the Complex RLS
Adaptive Filter Core block only implements the complex FIR filter with variable

subtractor and error feedback loop need to be implemented externally when
using the Complex RLS Adaptive Filter Core block.
EqualiserRealRLS.wsv This example shows the use of the Real RLS Adaptive Filter block in an inverse

EqualiserRealRLSCore. This example shows the use of the Real RLS Adaptive Filter Core block in an

using adaptive equalizer parts. The equalizer is inside a subcircuit with the key
parameters exposed through the SystemVue subcircuit parameter mechanism.
Examples 200
Name Description
The equalizer operates in different modes which are selected by the "control"
input. In this example, the control signal is configured so that the equalizer trains
for 100 samples and then filters (without training) for 900 samples. This sequence
then repeats. As well as containing a decision device (slicer), the DFE contains a
non-linearity to allow so-called "blind" equalization, where a training sequence is
not required.
SysIdAPA.wsv In this example a system identification configuration has been setup, where the
adaptive filter attempts to identify the impulse response of a complex arithmetic
unknown system. Both the unknown system and the adaptive filter are excited
with white noise. The unknown system is represented here by a complex FIR
filter. Its output is used as the desired signal input of the adaptive filter as shown.
SysIdLMS.wsv In this example a system identification configuration has been setup, where the
SysIdLMSCore.wsv This example shows the functionality of the LMS_AdaptFltCore part. This block
contains the core functionality of the adaptive filter, i.e. the FIR filter with variable
weights and the adaptive algorithm which controls them. Therefore, it does not
contain the calculation of the error signal and the feedback loop required to pass
this signal back into the adaptive filter.
SysIdQR.wsv In this example a system identification configuration has been setup, where the
SysIdRealAPA.wsv This model implements a real arithmetic system identification setup using the

LMS adaptive filter. The unknown filter is represented by a real FIR filter. A real
error filter is used to smooth out the variations of the error signal.
SysIdRealLMSCore.wsv This example shows two implementations of an adaptive IIR filter using the real
LMS core parts. The first implementation shows how to use these parts in
feedforward and feedback configurations. The second implementation shows how
