Product overview

R&S®WinIQSIM2 is a PC-based simulation software for generating digitally modulated I/Q signals with ease. Through an intuitive graphical user interface it builds standard-compliant waveforms across a vast number of configurable digital radio standards, and generates multicarrier signals and multisegment waveforms too. It covers cellular (5G NR, LTE, cellular IoT and more), wireless connectivity (WLAN, Bluetooth®, UWB, LoRa), broadcasting (DVB, DAB) and navigation (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou), alongside custom digital modulation and AWGN. The waveforms it produces transfer over GPIB, USB or LAN straight to an R&S®SMW200A, SMM100A, SMBV100B, SMCV100B, SGT100A or SFI100A vector signal generator, or to a PVT360A, for playback — which makes it a flexible and efficient centre to a signal generation workflow.

Key features

  • A large number of digital standards: cellular (5G NR Rel.15/16/17/18, Beyond 5G, LTE Rel.8–15, cellular IoT eMTC/NB-IoT, 3GPP FDD HSPA+, CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA, GSM/EDGE, TETRA Release 2 and more)
  • Wireless connectivity standards: WLAN IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/j/p/ac/ax/be/bn/ad/ay, HRP UWB, Bluetooth® (to Release 6.0), IEEE 802.15.4 OQPSK, NFC, LoRa
  • Broadcasting and navigation standards: DVB-T/H, DVB-S2/S2X, DVB-RCS2, plus GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, NavIC/IRNSS
  • Custom digital modulation: build user-defined digitally modulated signals with freely chosen modulation parameters
  • Multicarrier and multisegment waveforms: combine several digital signals into one multicarrier waveform, and use multisegment waveforms for the shortest possible switching times, or none at all
  • AWGN generation and superposition, and I/Q sample import over a server connection into the generation chain for filtering and noise addition
  • Extended graphical display: up to three configurable graphs at once — I/Q versus time, constellation diagram, vector diagram, spectrum (FFT), eye diagram, CCDF
  • Convenient connectivity: waveforms transfer over GPIB, USB or LAN straight to a supported signal generator, or are saved locally and moved on a USB stick; the instrument can also be controlled by remote desktop over LAN

Typical applications

  • Development testing of cellular components and devices, generating 5G NR, LTE and cellular IoT signals
  • Wireless connectivity device testing (WLAN, Bluetooth®, UWB, NFC, LoRa)
  • Satellite navigation receiver and GNSS application testing (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou)
  • Digital television and broadcast system testing (DVB, DAB)
  • Development, verification and volume test of custom digital modulation and multicarrier signals
  • Building and managing a library of standard-compliant ARB waveforms for R&S vector signal generators

Note: the licences for the individual digital standards (the SMx-K2xx / -K4xx families — 5G NR, LTE, WLAN and so on) are not ordered against WinIQSIM2. They are ordered on the signal generator that will play the waveform (R&S®SMW200A, SMM100A, SMBV100B, SGT100A, SFI100A), and the option codes differ from one generator to the next.
