2. Synchronized clock RF Burst RF Burst Attenuation control and marker output signal facilities are available for both internal and external data generation An important feature necessary to support GSM signal generation is the ability to frequency hop between channels The RTBB option provides frequency hopping by re mixing the I and Q data at base band The resultant I and Q vectors then modulate the core synthe sizer frequency thus producing a new RF frequency at the output of the signal generator This method ensures that synchronization is maintained between the IQ data and the hop trigger In addition because the main synthesizer hardware remains unchanged fre quency stabilization is nearly instantaneous IQCreator The 3410 series is supplied with a free copy of IQCreator a software package to aid the creation and download of files to the ARB and RTBB options IQCreator is a Windows based software utility that enables a user to set up a modulation scheme and then create an ARB file using mod ulation templates The resulting file may be saved on a PC or down loaded into the ARB User defined configurations can also be saved Consequently it is possible to load previously saved setups to regen erate the ARB files quickly and easily The capabilities of IQCreator include Generic Modulation Types PSK FSK MSK QAM modulation types Nyquist Root Nyquist and Gaussian filters PRBS fixed pattern and user
