These documents deal with special applications or background information on particu-

lar topics.
1.2 How to read firmware application chapters
Each firmware application is described in a separate chapter. These chapters can be

read independently of each other. However, they are all organized as follows:
1. General description
2. Application sheets (optional)
3. GUI reference
4. Programming examples
5. Command reference
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 10

1.2.1 General description
This chapter provides a general description of the firmware application, independent of

a specific operation mode (manual or remote control). Background information related
to the network standard is given as far as it is directly related to configurable parame-
ters.
1.2.2 Application sheets
This optional chapter provides short application examples for selected issues and rela-
ted background information.
1.2.3 GUI reference
The GUI reference describes the manual operation of the firmware application via the
graphical user interface (GUI).
The description of a configuration dialog usually starts with a screenshot presenting the
preset values of the parameters. Sometimes, preset values are modified to enable hid-
den parts of a dialog. Below the screenshot, all shown parameters are described. For
each single parameter, a link to the corresponding command description in the com-
mand reference is provided. Ranges for numeric parameters and reset values are
given there.
For measurement results, links to the corresponding command descriptions are provi-
ded (commands to retrieve the results).
1.2.4 Programming examples
The programming examples show how to control and configure the firmware applica-
tion via a remote-control program and how to retrieve measurement results. The exam-
ples consist of comprehensive command sequences. You can check just a single com-
mand of a sequence to get an example for the syntax of this single command. But you
can also consider an entire sequence showing the commands in the context of a com-
mand script, under consideration of dependencies and required orders of the com-
mands.
The command sequences are written with the intention to list most commands of the
firmware application. They do not show the fastest way for a given configuration task.
The fastest way would use many reset values and omit the corresponding commands.
The examples are referenced by the command descriptions of the command refer-
ence.
1.2.5 Command reference
The command reference provides information on the remote commands of the firm-
ware application. The commands are grouped according to their function.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 11

Each command description indicates the syntax of the command header and of the
parameters. For input parameters, the allowed ranges, reset values and default units
are listed. Most commands have a command form and a query form. Exceptions are
marked by "Setting only", "Query only" or "Event". Furthermore, a link to the program-
ming examples is provided and the first software version supporting the command is
indicated.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 12

R&S®CMW270/290/500 WLAN signaling
2 WLAN signaling
The WLAN signaling application emulates a WLAN device that communicates over
WLAN with another WLAN device, the device under test (DUT).
The signaling application can assume the following roles:
● Access point (AP) in infrastructure mode (DUT is a WLAN station), SISO and
MIMO 2x2
● Hotspot 2.0 access point (DUT is a WLAN station), SISO connections
● WLAN station (DUT is an access point), SISO and MIMO 2x2
The supported roles and WLAN IEEE 802.11 standard depend on the available
options.
The following figure shows the option dependencies. Basic option R&S CMW-KS650 is
always required.

R&S CMW-KB036 per TX/RX module is required for RF frequencies above 3.3
GHz.
● R&S CMW-KS671 extends MIMO 2x2 by adding MU-MIMO in AP mode for
802.11ax
(This option requires R&S CMW-KS670 and R&S CMW-KS657)
● R&S CMW-KE100 enables basic internal fading
● R&S CMW-KE670 is required for WLAN fading, AP mode, SISO and SU-MIMO,
and standards 802.11n, ac and ax
The generic option R&S CMW-KB036 "3.3 GHz to 6 GHz enabling" is required for RF
frequencies above 3.3 GHz, for example for the WLAN 5-GHz or 6-GHz bands.
Hardware requirements
● WLAN signaling requires an R&S CMW500/2xx with TRX160.
● Both partitions of an SUA (e.g. SUA1&2) are required for:
– 802.11ax
– MIMO scenarios
– 160 MHz channel bandwidth
Note that only contiguous 160 MHz channel bandwidth is supported, 80+80
MHz bandwidth (non-contiguous) is not supported.
– Internal fading (e.g. Fader1&2)
● The signaling options offer the following test functionality:

– Operation as access point, Hotspot 2.0 or station
– WPA/WPA2 personal
– Basic configuration (channel, TX burst power, SSID, MAC address, supported
rates etc.)
– Frame rate control for management and data frames
– SISO and MIMO 2x2 (if supported by WLAN standard)
– Test of connection setup
– Readout of MAC layer-related information received from the DUT
– RX burst power measurement
– IP packet generation (ICMP, UDP)
– Packet error rate (PER) tests

and how to interpret the results.
2.2.1 Introduction to WLAN signaling tests
The following sections help you to get started with the WLAN signaling application.
2.2.1.1 Test setups
Connect the device under test (DUT) to one or two of the bidirectional RF COM con-
nectors at the front panel of the R&S CMW. No additional cabling and no external trig-
ger are needed. The input level ranges of all RF COM connectors are identical.
The following sections refer to the individual operation modes.
AP mode
The R&S CMW simulates a WLAN access point in infrastructure mode. The DUT is a
WLAN station.
The standard cell scenario (with or without fading) uses a single RF COM connector for
SISO connection.

4. Wait until the "WLAN Signaling" softkey indicates the "Run" state. The hour glass
symbol must disappear.
5. Switch on the DUT and wait for association establishment. Note the connection
status displayed in the main view.
Note: Depending on the DUT, it takes a few seconds until the association proce-
dures have finished.
6. Perform an additional action if you have configured the "Station" operation mode
with "Manual" connection mode.
In that case, press the "Connect" hotkey.
Note: Depending on the DUT, it takes a few seconds until the association proce-
dures have finished. With authentication, it takes up to two minutes.
Checks if the association fails

● The "RF TX Burst Power" must be sufficient so that the DUT can receive the trans-
mitted signal.
● The "RF Exp. Peak Envelope Power" must be in accordance with the received sig-
nal power.
● Check the "External Attenuation" for in and out paths.
Typical external attenuation values:
– 1 dB to 2 dB for a conducted connection, due to cables and connectors
– >2 dB for splitters etc. in path
– 25 dB to 30 dB for a shielded box
● The selected WLAN channel and WLAN standard must be supported by the DUT.
● The selected encryption algorithm must be supported by the DUT.
2.2.1.3 Connection status
WLAN association involves a sequence of steps. The signaling application monitors

the individual stages and displays the connection status in the main view.
If Multi STA is enabled, connection status is displayed for each station.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 18

General description
Figure 2-7: Connection status area
The "Connection Status" area also displays the "Cell" status: Signal switched on
(green cell icon) or off (gray cell icon). The connection states are described in the fol-
lowing table.
Table 2-1: Connection status overview
Cell Connection status Description
OFF Idle (default state) WLAN signaling OFF
ON Idle (default state) The AP broadcasts beacon frames regularly. If the STA receives a bea-
con frame, it has sufficient knowledge about the AP to start authentication
and association.
Authenticated The STA has sent an authentication request with authentication algorithm
"open system" and the R&S CMW has sent a positive response.
The STA is now ready to start the association procedure.
Note that the R&S CMW does not support shared key authentication
(WEP).
Associated The STA has sent an association request and the AP has sent a positive
association response (including the STA's association ID).
If the AP does not require WLAN security, the STA can now exchange
data packets with the AP.
For any WPA security mechanism, association is followed by a secondary
authentication step. If successful, the DUT remains associated, otherwise
it is disassociated.
Disassociated An association was established and:

● Either the AP or STA has sent a disassociation request (or a deau-
thentication request)
● Or WPA authentication was not successful.
The STA is still "open system" authenticated, but data transfer is no lon-
ger possible.
Deauthenticated A STA was authenticated and either the AP or STA has sent a deauthenti-
cation request.
This action voids the existing authentication (and association) relation-
ship.
Connection timeout In station mode, the attempt to connect to the AP has timed out without
response.
First the STA discovers the AP, optionally by sending a probe request displayed in
event log. Afterward it attempts to establish a connection, the state changes from "Idle"
via "Authenticated" to "Associated".
During disconnection, the state changes from "Associated" via "Disassociated" to
"Deauthenticated".
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 19

General description
In general, signaling measurements must be performed in the "Associated" state.
2.2.1.4 Getting monitoring and measurement results
The WLAN signaling application provides the following types of results:

● Information in the main view, especially connection status, event log and DUT
capabilities, see Chapter 2.3.1, "Signaling view", on page 32
● Results of a packet error rate (PER) test, see Chapter 2.3.18.2, "Measurement
results", on page 103.
To obtain these results, proceed as follows:

1. Establish a connection as described in Chapter 2.2.1.2, "Establishing a WLAN
association", on page 17
2. Check the information in the main view.
3. To access the PER measurement, press the "WLAN PER" softkey. Configure and
start the measurement.
2.2.2 MIMO scenario
Option R&S CMW-KS670 is required for MIMO tests. It extends options R&S CMW-
KS651, R&S CMW-KS656, R&S CMW-KS657, and R&S CMW-KS658 for standards
802.11n, ac, ax, supporting operating modes AP and station.
One option R&S CMW-KB036 per TX/RX module is required for RF frequencies above
3.3 GHz.
The R&S CMW simulates an access point supporting MIMO.

The following transmission modes are supported:
● Spatial multiplexing
Data streams are transmitted on multiple spatial channels, with multiple antennas
at the transmitter and receiver.
● Space time block coding (STBC)
The number of spatial streams is less than the number of space-time streams.
NSS < NSTS
The two DL signals are routed to different RF output connectors.

The supported connection standards are "802.11a/n", "802.11g(OFDM)/n", "802.11ac",
and "802.11ax".
The following table shows the supported downlink MCS rates depending on the con-
nection standard.

The R&S CMW supports the following channel bandwidths with MIMO.
● For 802.11ac and ax: 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz
● For 802.11n: 20 MHz, 40 MHz
2.2.3 WLAN security
WLAN security comprises (mutual) authentication between AP and STA, packet

encryption and message integrity verification. The beacon frames include a WPA
parameter indicating the authentication and encryption algorithms to be used. The
WLAN signaling application supports Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), Wi-Fi protected
access version 2 (WPA2), and WPA3 - personal and enterprise mode.
WPA/ WPA2/ WPA3 personal security mode

In personal security mode, the authentication is based on a passphrase that generates
a 256-bit pre-shared key (PSK). For the configuration, see "Common Settings > Pass-
phrase" on page 81.
● In WPA personal security mode, packets are encrypted using the temporal key
integrity protocol (TKIP). An additional message integrity check algorithm
("Michael") is used. WPA is only supported for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
● WPA2 personal security mode mandates CCMP-128 with PSK, an AES-based
encryption mode. WPA2 is only supported for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
For operation mode station and WPA2 personal security mode, the encryption sup-
ports all combinations of TKIP and CCMP/AES. The dynamic selection algorithm
always prioritizes CCMP/AES (if available) over TKIP.
● WPA3 personal security mode mandates encryption CCMP-128 with SAE transi-
tion mode and protected management frames (PMF). WPA3 security mode sup-
ports all bands.
WPA/ WPA2/ WPA3 enterprise security mode

The enterprise mode requires the advanced signaling option R&S CMW-KS660.
● WPA enterprise security mode, packets are encrypted using TKIP with IEEE
802.1X with SHA-1. WPA is only supported for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
● WPA2 enterprise security mode mandates CCMP-128 with IEEE 802.1X with
SHA-1. WPA2 is only supported for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
For operation mode station and WPA2 personal security mode, the encryption sup-
ports all combinations of TKIP and CCMP/AES. The dynamic selection algorithm
always prioritizes CCMP/AES (if available) over TKIP.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 21

General description
● WPA3 enterprise security mode mandates encryption CCMP-128 with IEEE

802.1X with SHA-256 and PMF. WPA3 security mode supports all bands.
The enterprise mode requires a RADIUS server and uses an extensible authentication
protocol (EAP) for authentication. An internal or external RADIUS server can be set up
for EAP authentication. When using an external RADIUS server, it must be reachable
via LAN SWITCH connector no 2 of the Ethernet switch board (option R&S CMW-
H661x). The complete test setup is shown below.
Figure 2-8: Test setup with external RADIUS server
Opportunistic wireless encryption (OWE)

OWE with protected management frames (PMF) is used for 6 GHz band connections
without encryption. This setting replaces encryption type "Disabled", that is relevant for
the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. OWE is specified in RFC 8110.
We recommend that you use R&S CMWmars to obtain detailed information about the
MAC messages exchanged during authentication.
Which of the described security mechanisms are supported, depends on the selected
operation modes, as shown in the following table.

2.2.4 Station mode
In station mode, the R&S CMW simulates a WLAN station (STA). The DUT is a WLAN
access point (AP).
Station mode is supported with PER measurements, end-to-end data connections, RX
statistics, and packet generators.
Special requirements in station mode

● The configured WLAN channel must be the same as the one selected by the tested
AP. The R&S CMW does not scan the supported frequency range.
● The configured standard must be compatible with the beacon format of the tested
AP.
● The DUT - R&S CMW connection within the same network segment (for example:
172.22.x.y) , can lead to end-to-end connection failure. The following warning
appears in the event log: "Subnet conflict: Check System IP subnet config".
The failure occurs, if the AP is within the same subnet as the R&S CMW's internal
network segment. In this case, proceed as follows:
– Enter the "Setup" of the R&S CMW base system. To open the dialog box, press
the [SETUP] key on the (soft-) front panel, or the button.
– Select "Misc" > "IP Subnet Config"
– Change "Network Segment" (for example, from A to B -> 172.18.x.y)

General description
Limitations with 802.11ax

Station mode for 802.11ax is supported for SISO and MIMO connections, HE_SU,
HE_TB, and HE_MU frame formats.
802.11ax features not applicable to station mode:
● Trigger frame generation (can only be initiated by an AP)
● NDP sounding (HE sounding protocol can only be initiated by an AP)

2.2.5 Hotspot 2.0
Hotspot 2.0 is a specification from Wi-Fi Alliance. It was created to improve the end-
user hotspot experience and to address the market/operator need for cellular offload-
ing. The goal is to make the hotspot network access as easy as cellular network
access.
In the corresponding operation mode, the R&S CMW simulates a Hotspot 2.0 access
point to allow mobile devices to join a WiFi subscriber service automatically when
entering a Hotspot 2.0 area.
To ensure that mobile devices always have seamless connection with WLAN and cellu-
lar network, the current release supports SIM/USIM authentication using EAP-SIM,
EAP-AKA and EAP-AKA’ (see Chapter 2.2.3, "WLAN security", on page 21).
Option R&S CMW-KS660 is required.
2.2.6 Signal properties
The IEEE 802.11 standard and its amendments specify different physical layer imple-
mentations. The following table gives an overview of the supported parts of the WLAN
standards.

Country-specific regulations apply to both the allowed channels and maximum power
levels within these channels. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
for a list of legally allowed WLAN channels.
The WLAN signaling application does not adhere to those regulations, e.g. it is possi-
ble to operate the AP on a channel that is "illegal" for the selected country code.
2.2.7 Trigger signals
The WLAN signaling application provides trigger signals that can be used by other
R&S CMW applications to synchronize to the WLAN signal. These signals are espe-
cially useful to trigger WLAN TX measurements (options R&S CMW-KM65x). The sig-
nals can also be routed to the BNC connectors at the rear of the instrument.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 26

General description
The available trigger signals are described below.

To address the trigger signals in remote commands, use the following strings, with 
replaced by the instance number of the signaling application:
● "WLAN Sig: FrameTrigger"
● "WLAN Sig: RXFrameTrigger"
● "WLAN Sig: HE_TB Trigger"
Frame trigger
This trigger signal is aligned to the start of the downlink MAC frames. It generates a
pulse for the full duration of the TX frame. The trigger parameters are configurable, see
"TX Frame Trigger" on page 89.
RX frame trigger
This trigger signal is aligned to the start of the uplink MAC frames. The trigger parame-
ters are configurable, see "RX Frame Trigger" on page 90.
HE_TB trigger
Trigger event after the transmission of trigger frame for the calculation of a time differ-
ence between the expected and actual arrival of an RX frame with HE TB PPDU.
2.2.8 Message logging
During a WLAN signaling test session, the R&S CMW can record the message flow
between the tester and the DUT. You can view the message sequences with the uni-
versal message analyzer R&S CMWmars.
R&S CMWmars is the message analyzer for all R&S CMW signaling applications. It
presents the logfile in various synchronized views that visualize the data from different
perspectives, helping you to postprocess complex message logs in an intuitive and
easy way.
The R&S CMWmars user interface combined with various tools and views helps you to
narrow down the root cause of signaling protocol and lower layer problems, including
the IP layer. It is well established as the standard analysis tool for customers such as
chipset manufacturers, handset manufacturers and mobile network operators.
Pre-selecting message types

The message types that the R&S CMW replicates for logging can be selected in the
"Debug" settings. A restricted subset of replicated message types saves processing
power in the R&S CMW and can increase the maximum data throughput.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 27

General description
2.2.9 Internal fading
Testing under realistic air interface conditions is important in order to verify the receiver
performance and the correct operation of the protocol stack implementation. For exam-
ple, packet error rates can be evaluated.
The fading is only supported in AP mode using a whole SUA. The SUA comes with a
fading simulator and AWGN generator that can be selectively enabled. It manipulates
the generated downlink I/Q data stream to emulate typical signal conditions at the
receiver.
The following instrument models and options are required to use the internal fading
simulator:
● Both SUA partitions are required (e.g. Fader1&2)
● Option R&S CMW-KE100 for basic fading support and AWGN generator.
● Option R&S CMW-KE670 for fading profiles for WLAN 802.11n, ac, and ax. Refer
to Chapter A, "Predefined fading settings", on page 633.
Internal fading is only supported for WLAN 802.11n, ac, and ax standards, in AP mode
and channel bandwidth up to 40 MHz.
For MIMO fading, the R&S CMW transmits one or two streams via antennas Tx1 and
Tx2 to the DUT antennas.
● At DUT antenna 1 (Rx1), you measure two fading channels: (Tx1->Rx1) + (Tx2-
>Rx1)
● At DUT antenna 2 (Rx2), you measure two fading channels: (Tx1->Rx2) + (Tx2-
>Rx2)
2.2.9.1 Fading simulator
Multi-path fading is an effect which occurs in real world situations. A signal sent from
the base station follows the direct line of sight and/or takes routes with reflections. The
phase-shifted signals sum up at the receiving antenna. If the receiver is moving, there
are also frequency-shifted signals.
The internal fading simulator supports multipath propagation conditions as described in
Chapter A, "Predefined fading settings", on page 633.
A faded signal has a higher crest factor than an unfaded one. To avoid distortion, the
baseband signal must be attenuated before entering the fading module. The necessary
attenuation (insertion loss) depends on the selected fading profile.
In WLAN signaling, the insertion loss at the baseband level can be calculated automat-
ically or set manually. It is automatically compensated on the HF level. The compensa-
tion implies a shift of the allowed DL power range to the same extent, but in opposite
direction.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 28

General description
2.2.9.2 AWGN generator
Additional white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is typically modeled in receiver tests,

because it can lead to a decrease of throughput. The quality of the received signal is
affected by the ratio of the signal power to the surrounding traffic noise level (signal to
noise ratio). The modulated signals from neighbor cells simply appear as noise. This
effect is simulated by adding AWGN to the signal.
The internal fading module supports AWGN insertion with configurable bandwidth and
signal to noise ratio. Insertion loss at the baseband level is calculated and compensa-
ted automatically at the HF.
2.2.10 IP communication
The IP configuration of the DUT and the instrument is used by the Packet generator.
In station mode, WLAN signaling responds ARP requests for the assigned CMW IPv4
address and the CMW IPv4 address + 1. For instance, if the CMW is assigned the
address 192.168.1.5, then it responds to ARP request for that address and
192.168.1.6. This feature can be used by single box tethering, to be able to ping in
loop from DAU -> WLAN IP client -> RAT (e.g. LTE) -> DAU.
● For an R&S CMW without data application unit (DAU), the signaling application
runs its own IPv4/IPv6 stack. DHCP and manual IP configuration is supported.
● If a DAU is installed, the WLAN signaling application relays incoming DHCP
requests to the DAU. Refer to Chapter 2.2.11, "Data end-to-end tests",
on page 29.
2.2.11 Data end-to-end tests
Use the data application unit (DAU) of the R&S CMW for data end-to-end tests.
You need the following options in addition to the WLAN signaling application:
● Data application unit (DAU, R&S CMW-B450x, mandatory)
● IPv4 enabler (R&S CMW-KA100, mandatory)
IPv6 enabler (R&S CMW-KA150, optional)
● DAU measurements (R&S CMW-KM050, optional)
● Installed DAU software package 3.7.50.1 or later
If there is no space left for installation of a DAU in your instrument, you can install all
these options in another R&S CMW and access the external DAU via LAN. For such a
setup, you need R&S CMW-KA120 on both instruments. For more details, see section
"Test setup with external DAU" in the DAU documentation.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 29

General description
Setup procedure
To set up an end-to-end packet data connection, perform the following steps. The sig-
naling application is initially switched off.
1. Set the IP version support required from the DAU. See Chapter 2.3.10, "IP sup-
port", on page 93.
2. If desired, configure the data end-to-end settings. See Chapter 2.3.12, "Data end-
to-end settings", on page 96
a) For the operation mode "Station", you can configure additional destination IP
addresses. The DAU routes traffic to these addresses to the DUT.
b) In AP mode, you can define the DUT IP address pool for the DHCP server of
the DAU.
c) You can configure the access to an external DAU.
3. Prepare the other WLAN signaling settings as for a connection without the DAU.
4. Turn on the WLAN signaling application.
5. Establish a WLAN connection.
6. In the main view (or the configuration dialog under IP support) of the signaling
application, note the IPv4 address and/or IPv6 prefix assigned to the DUT. You
need this information for ping tests and iperf throughput tests.
7. Check the IP connectivity of the DUT, for example by pinging the DUT from the
DAU or vice versa.
If you have connected your DUT to a PC with Windows operating system, you can
open a command prompt at the PC and type IPconfig to display the active IP
configuration.
8. Open the "Data Application Measurements" application.
9. At the top of the GUI, select the WLAN signaling application (parameter "Select
RAN").
10. Initiate an end-to-end data transfer as described in the DAU user manual.
2.2.12 Packet generator
The WLAN signaling application includes packet generators that allow you to send IP
traffic towards the DUT. The R&S CMW can run up to three packet generators.
The R&S CMW supports the generation of ICMP echo request ("Ping") packets and
UDP packets including TID assignment. QoS TID control applies scheduling according
to the TID priority or round robin.
The ICMP echo request packets are targeted at the DUT's IP stack. The DUT is expec-
ted to answer with a well-defined echo reply packet whose payload is identical to the
payload of the corresponding request. "Pinging" triggers the DUT to transmit a burst of
a certain length which is useful for combined signal path measurements.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 30

General description
UDP packets are used to put background traffic on the air interface, for example to pre-
vent the DUT from entering the power save mode.
2.2.13 EDCA
Enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) defines channel access mechanisms

including the backoff time concept. The backoff time ensures channel access fairness
between multiple STAs. EDCA also prioritizes different flows of TX traffic identified by
TID and categorized by access class independently within a STA. Thus, a higher prior-
ity access class (AC) gains channel access before a lower priority AC.
EDCA Parameter Set

EDCA uses signaling information provided in the EDCA Parameter Set element.
Figure 2-9: EDCA parameter set
The EDCA Parameter Set element uses AISFN values 2 to 15.
MU EDCA Parameter Set

802.11ax introduces the MU EDCA Parameter Set to provide the AP additional control
over the scheduling of uplink MU channel access.
Figure 2-10: MU EDCA parameter set
The MU EDCA Parameter Set uses by default AISFN values 0 to disable channel
access. This setting is only active for a finite period of time controlled by the MU EDCA
timer. When the timer expires, the channel access is re-enabled and controlled by
EDCA parameter set.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 31

GUI reference
Using the transmission basic trigger frame (AP) -> HE TB response (STA) -> basic trig-
ger frame (AP)... the AP forces STA to reset the MU EDCA timer to the signaled value.
During the transmission of basic trigger frames at an interval less than the MU EDCA
timer, the STA never attempts channel access; except as a result of a trigger frame.
This way, the AP minimizes channel access collisions and maximizes the efficiency of
traffic.
2.3 GUI reference

The following chapters provide detailed reference information on the parameters of the
WLAN signaling application.
Most parameters are configured via a single configuration dialog. The packet error rate
measurement ("WLAN PER") is configured and controlled via a separate view.

2.3.2 Signaling and connection control
The individual connection states are controlled via the ON | OFF key, via hotkeys and
via the DUT.
The available hotkeys depend on configured settings and the current connection state.
All possible hotkeys are described in the following.
For background information, refer to Chapter 2.2.1.3, "Connection status", on page 18.
ON | OFF (key) / WLAN Signaling (softkey)..................................................................44

Connect (hotkey)...........................................................................................................44
Disconnect / Disconnect ST (hotkey)............................................................................ 44
Reconnect (hotkey)....................................................................................................... 45
ON | OFF (key) / WLAN Signaling (softkey)

To turn the signal transmission on or off, use the ON | OFF key or right-click the soft-
key. The current state is shown by the softkey. The signal transmission can be
switched off anytime, independent of the current connection state. A yellow hour glass
symbol indicates that the signaling generator is turning on or off.
In many modes, turning on the signal transmission and the DUT is sufficient to initiate
a connection between the tester and the DUT.
Remote command:
SOURce:WLAN:SIGN:STATe
Connect (hotkey)
This hotkey requests to establish an association to the AP under test.
The hotkey is only visible if all the following apply:
● The operation mode equals "Station", see "Operation Mode" on page 48.
● The connection mode equals "Manual", see "Connection Mode" on page 63.
● The signaling state is ON and no association is established.
Remote command:
CALL:WLAN:SIGN:ACTion:STATion:CONNect

Remote command:
CALL:WLAN:SIGN:ACTion:STATion:REConnect
2.3.3 Using the shortcut softkeys
When using the WLAN signaling application and a WLAN measurement in parallel, use
a shortcut softkey to switch to the measurement.
Using one of the softkeys ensures that the measurement is configured compatible to
the settings of the signaling application. When you use the softkey to switch to the
multi-evaluation measurement, the combined signal path scenario is activated auto-
matically in the measurement.
Consequences:
● The measurement and the signaling application can be used in parallel, i.e. both
DL signal transmission and measurement can be switched on.
● The signaling RF settings are also used for the measurement.
● Some input signal settings are configured compatible with the signaling settings.
● A suitable trigger signal provided by the signaling application is selected as trigger
source for the measurement.
If the softkey label equals "Go to...", the softkey opens a dialog box with a list of all
available measurements. If the softkey label indicates a measurement name instead of
"Go to...", this measurement has been assigned to the softkey as fixed target, see
Chapter 2.3.13, "Shortcut configuration", on page 98.
Three shortcut softkeys are available and can be set to different fixed targets.

tional tabs "Station 1", "Station 2" and "Station 3" are displayed. See also Chap-
ter 2.3.17, "Station configuration tabs", on page 101.
Depending on the global settings, only a particular set of actions and parameters is

Base Band Unit

Selects the signaling unit to be used. This setting is especially useful for multi-CMW
setups, to select the instrument.
Each SUA module has two SUA partitions numbered as follows:
● Partition 1, 2 for SUA No. 1
● Partition 3, 4 for SUA No. 2, and so on.
See also Chapter 2.5.1.2, "Values for signal path selection", on page 124.
A prefix "1." to "4." selects the CMW in a multi-CMW setup.
Both partitions of an SUA are required for:
● 802.11ax
● MIMO scenarios
● 160 MHz channel bandwidth (contiguous)
Some examples:
● "SUA2" selects SUA partition 2 in a single-CMW setup.
● "SUA1&2" selects SUA partitions 1 and 2 in a single-CMW setup.
● "3.SUA1" selects SUA partition 1 in CMW number 3 in a multi-CMW setup.

MIMO
Refer to Chapter 2.3.5, "MIMO settings", on page 49.
Fading
Selects the SUA partitions to be used for internal fading. Both partitions of an SUA are
required. If two signaling applications use internal fading at the same time, use diverse
internal faders to avoid conflict.
This parameter is displayed for the fading scenarios. Only internal fading is supported.
The fader setting selects both SUA partitions. The numbering is reversed, so that the
lowest fader number selects the highest SUA partition. This reverse numbering allows
you to select the same number for the fader and the baseband unit, because they
address different SUA partitions.
Example: Baseband unit "2.SUA4" selects SUA partition 4 in CMW 2. Fader
"2.Fader3&4" selects SUA partition 1&2 in CMW 2. So they can be combined. See also
" Base Band Unit" on page 48.
The fader selection offers only values compatible with the baseband setting. If there is
only one possible value, the selection is grayed out, displaying this value.

Exp. Peak Envelope Power

Specifies the expected peak envelope power of the measured RF signal per antenna.
It must account for the transmitted (average) uplink power plus the crest factor.
An expected PEP setting below the actual RF input power causes overflow in the input
path. A setting which is much higher than the RF input power can reduce the measure-
ment accuracy.
An optimum expected PEP setting results in an Approximate Burst Power value that is
slightly higher than the RX Power Indicator value. See Chapter 2.3.1.1, "Connection
status", on page 33.
The actual input power at the connectors must be within the level range of the selected
RF input connector. Refer to the data sheet for details.

For data frame Configuration = "User-defined", you have to enable STBC within the
data frame configuration for the particular frame format manually.
Automatic data frame Configuration applies the STBC automatically.
● "Rate": With "User Defined" configuration, the selected rate is used for all data
frame transmissions - except for packet error rate (PER) tests.
With automatic configuration, the frame rates are set according to standard and
also depend on channel bandwidth.
● "Guard Interval":
– Short or long guard interval for legacy (up to 802.11ac)
– 0.8 μs, 1.6 μs, and 3.2 μs guard interval durations for 802.11ax
● "LTF Type" (HE frames only): 1x HE-LTF, 2x HE-LTF or 4x HE-LTF
● "PE Duration" (HE frames only): value of packet extension (PE) field to provide
additional receive processing time at the end of the HE PPDU. Automatic setting is
based on the reported DUTs' capabilities.
● "Coding Type" (for VHT and HE_SU frames only): forward error correction coding
low density parity check (LDPC) or binary convolution code (BCC).
● For "20 MHz Channel" configuration (HE_MU frame only), refer to "20 MHz Chan-
nel Settings (HE_MU frame only)" on page 74.

you can select one of the following traffic data configurations:
– "User 1": real user data transmission. The traffic data configuration of the type
"User" must be allocated to only one RU.
– "Dummy": transmission of pseudo-random data. The same traffic data configu-
ration of the type dummy (e.g. "Dummy2") can be applied up to all RU alloca-
tions, except for the one occupied by "User 1".
– "Off": no traffic data are transmitted in a particular RU
● "RUs Size": indicates the number of RU tones (pilot and data subcarriers). RUs
sizes are selected via "RU Allocation Subfield"

TRIGger:WLAN:SIGN:RX:MACFrame:RATE
Rate Restriction ← RX Frame Trigger

When enabled, this feature selectively restricts (ignores) certain RX PPDU configura-
tions so that the R&S CMW cannot acknowledge those frames. So the DUT gradually
moves towards the specific target PPDU configuration that is to be measured. The
effectiveness of the rate restriction technique depends on the particular device.
The rate restriction can control the DUT's TX bandwidth, so that it is even less than the
operating channel width. It is also possible to control TX of only one spatial stream,
even when configured for the MIMO scenario.
Rate restriction is provided for all supported standards except 802.11b.
Remote command:
TRIGger:WLAN:SIGN:RX:MACFrame:RREStriction
Delay ← RX Frame Trigger

● "Constant": sets the delay of RX trigger to 200 µs (for OFDM signals only)
The value is only approximated, as the processing delay and sample bus delay
also contributes to this offset.
Constant trigger delay is especially useful to measure several different IEEE
802.11 OFDM standards.
● "Burst Dependent": the trigger delay set automatically according to the generated
signal
Remote command:
TRIGger:WLAN:SIGN:RX:MACFrame:CTDelay
RX Space Time Streams ← RX Frame Trigger

Sets the number of antennas used by the RX frame trigger.
Remote command:
TRIGger:WLAN:SIGN:RX:MACFrame:STReams
Min Length: DSSS or OFDM Payload ← RX Frame Trigger

This setting is relevant for all RX trigger formats except "All Bursts". It defines the num-
ber of symbols/bytes that need to be received before the trigger event is generated.
"Default" minimal length is usually appropriate for DSSS and OFDM standards
802.11a, g, n, and ac, 20 MHz. This mode uses a suitable minimum length, so that
ACK bursts do not result in a trigger pulse.
With "User Defined", you can set the minimum number of symbols/bytes manually.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 91

GUI reference
If you want to set a user-defined minimum length for OFDM, you can use the following
formula to calculate the number of symbols from signal properties.
 ( MAC overhead + PSDU Length) * 8 + 22 

Number of Data Symbols =  
 Data bits per symbol 
Where "MAC overhead" is the header in bytes and "PSDU Length" is the payload
length in bytes. The value of "Data bits per symbol" (NDBPS) depends on the active
transmission scheme, as given in the following table.

For the NDBPS values for HE, refer to IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021, chapter 27.5 Parame-
ters for HE-MCSs.
Example:
For 20 MHz channel with a header of 26 bytes and a payload length of 500 bytes, in
802.11n MCS 7 the number of data symbols are:
⌈[(26+500)*8 + 22]/260⌉ = 16

vided by the data application unit (DAU), see Chapter 2.2.11, "Data end-to-end
tests", on page 29.
In AP mode, the "IP Support" section serves as a display of the IP settings config-
ured in the DAU. When the WLAN signal is enabled, the values displayed here rep-
resent the network configuration that is advertised by the DHCP server in the DAU.
In particular, the STA address field shows the IP address that is assigned to the
DUT by DHCP.
● When no DAU is present:
In AP mode, these fields are used to enter the IPv4 and IPv6 network configura-
tion. The DHCP server in the WLAN signaling stack uses these values when quer-
ied by a DHCP client in the DUT

2.4.1 General configuration
The WLAN signaling application is programmed as follows:

● The application is controlled by SCPI commands with the following syn-
tax: ...:WLAN:SIGN:....
● After a *RST, the application is switched off.
To activate the signal transmission, use SOURce:WLAN:SIGN:STATe ON. *OPC?
ensures that the signal is available at the selected RF output before the next com-
mand line is executed.

2.4.16 PER measurements
The PER measurement provided by the WLAN signaling application is programmed as

follows:
● The application is controlled by SCPI commands with the following syn-
tax: ...:WLAN:SIGN:PER:...
● After a *RST, the measurement is switched off.
You can start the measurement using INIT:WLAN:SIGN:PER and retrieve the
results using FETCh commands.
The examples in this section focus on commands directly related to the PER measure-
ment. For general configuration of the signaling application and setting up the connec-
tion, refer to Chapter 2.4.1, "General configuration", on page 109.

2.5.1 Conventions and general information
The following sections describe the most important conventions and general informa-
tion concerning the command reference.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 123

Command reference
2.5.1.1 SIGN
SIGN is used as abbreviation of SIGNaling<instance>. For better readability,

only the abbreviated form (which is also accepted by the instrument) is given in the
command reference.
The <instance> is relevant for instruments supporting several instances of the same
firmware application. It can be omitted if the instrument supports only one instance, or
to address the first instance.
2.5.1.2 Values for signal path selection
Which connectors and modules can be specified in a command, depends on the instal-
led hardware and the active subinstrument or instance .
This chapter lists all values available for path selection. Depending on your configura-
tion, only a subset is relevant for you. Virtual connector names are only relevant for
setting commands. Queries return the physical connector names.
Additional information is available in the base software documentation. It describes typ-
ical instrument configurations with the allowed RF connector - TX/RX module combina-
tions and the mapping of virtual connector names to physical connectors.

ment provides only INValid results or has not completed the full statistic count.
● 2 ("Capture Buffer Overflow"):
The measurement configuration results in a capture length that exceeds the availa-
ble memory.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 126

Command reference
● 3 ("Input Overdriven") / 4 ("Input Underdriven"):

The accuracy of measurement results can be impaired because the input signal
level was too high / too low.
● 6 ("Trigger Timeout"):
The measurement could not be started or continued because no trigger event was
detected.
● 7 ("Acquisition Error"):
The R&S CMW could not properly decode the RF input signal.
● 8 ("Sync Error"):
The R&S CMW could not synchronize to the RF input signal.
● 9 ("Uncal"):
Due to an inappropriate configuration of resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth or
sweep time, the measurement results are not within the specified data sheet limits.
● 15 ("Reference Frequency Error"):
The instrument has been configured to use an external reference signal. But the
reference oscillator could not be phase-locked to the external signal (for example
signal level too low, frequency out of range or reference signal not available at all).
● 16 ("RF Not Available"):
The measurement could not be started because the configured RF input path was
not active.
This problem can occur if a measurement is started in combined signal path mode
and the controlling application has not yet activated the input path.
● 17 ("RF Level Not Settled") / 18 ("RF Frequency Not Settled"):
The measurement could not be started because the R&S CMW was not yet ready
to deliver stable results after a change of the input signal power / the input signal
frequency.
● 19 ("Call Not Established"):
For measurements: The measurement could not be started because no signaling
connection to the DUT was established.
For DAU IMS service: Establishing a voice over IMS call failed.
● 20 ("Call Type Not Usable"):
For measurements: The measurement could not be started because the estab-
lished signaling connection had wrong properties.

ware resource or software option that is allocated by another application.
Stop the application that has allocated the conflicting resources and try again.
● 28 ("Unexpected Parameter Change"):
One or more measurement configuration parameters were changed while the mea-
surement completed. The results were not obtained with these new parameter val-
ues. Repeat the measurement. This situation can only occur in remote single-shot
mode.
● 29 ("Invalid RF Frequency Setting"):
The desired RF TX frequency or RF RX frequency could not be applied.
● 30 ("File Not Found"):
The specified file could not be found.
● 40 ("ARB File CRC Error"):
The cyclic redundancy check of the ARB file failed. The ARB file is corrupt and not
reliable.
● 42 ("ARB Header Tag Invalid"):
The ARB file selected in the GPRF generator contains an invalid header tag.
● 43 ("ARB Segment Overflow"):
The number of segments in the multi-segment ARB file is higher than the allowed
maximum.
● 44 ("ARB File Not Found"):
The selected ARB file could not be found.
● 45 ("ARB Memory Overflow"):
The ARB file length is greater than the available memory.
● 46 ("ARB Sample Rate Out of Range"):
The clock rate of the ARB file is either too high or too low.
● 47 ("ARB Cycles Out of Range"):
The repetition mode equals "Single Shot" and the playback length is too long.
Reduce the playback length or set the repetition mode to "Continuous".
<Length> = (<Cycles> * <Samples> + <Additional Samples>) / <Clock Rate>
● 50 ("Startup Error"):
The data application unit (DAU), a DAU service or a DAU measurement could not
be started. Execute a DAU self-test.
● 51 ("No Reply"):
The DAU has received no response, for example for a ping request.
● 52 ("Connection Error")
A connection setup failed or a connection was lost.
For DAU: The DAU could not establish a connection to internal components.
Restart the instrument.
● 53 ("Configuration Error"):
The current DAU configuration is incomplete or wrong and could not be applied.
Check especially the IP address configuration.
● 54 ("Filesystem Error"):
The system drive of the DAU is full or corrupt. Execute a DAU self-test.
● 70 ("Wrong Standard")
The standard of the measured signal does not match the configured standard.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 128

Command reference
● 71 ("Wrong Bandwidth")
The bandwidth of the measured signal does not match the configured bandwidth.
● 72 ("Wrong Burst Type")
The burst type of the measured signal does not match the configured burst type.
● 73 ("MIMO Signal Detected")
The measurement expects a SISO signal and detected a MIMO signal. Use a
MIMO receive mode to measure this signal.
● 74 ("More Streams than Antennas")
The measured signal has more streams than expected due to the configured num-
ber of antennas. Increase the configured number of antennas to measure this sig-
nal.
● 75 ("Matrix Inversion Failed")
The inversion of the channel matrix failed for a MIMO measurement. Check that
the antennas are connected correctly to the instrument.
● 76 ("SIG CRC Failed")
The cyclic redundancy check of a SIGNAL field failed.
● 77 ("Parity Check Failed")
The parity check of a SIGNAL field failed.
● 78 ("Bursts Not Identical")
In training mode for composite MIMO measurements, at least some symbols of
sequential bursts need to be identical to be used as training data. Setting a fix
scrambler initialization can solve this problem.
● 79 ("Wrong Modulation")
The modulation type of the measured signal does not match the configured modu-
lation type.
● 80 ("SISO Signal Detected")
Received signal contains only one stream.
● 81 ("Less Streams than Antennas")
Received signal has fewer streams than configured antennas. Reconfigure the
number of antennas.
● 82 ("Signal Fields of Different Antennas Are Not Identical")
The signal fields of all captured antennas are compared. In a valid MIMO transmis-
sion, all signal fields are identical. If not, some basic parameters such as MCS or
data length are not the same and a MIMO measurement is not possible.
● 83 ("Bit Errors in Some of the Received Symbols")
Adjust input signal power and repeat training.
● 84 ("First and Last Symbols Need to Be Skipped")
Due to a sequence counter in the MAC header the first and the last symbol (due to
the FCS) change from one burst to another. You can configure the first and the last
symbol to be skipped.
● 85 ("Received and Saved Bursts Are Not Identical")
The signal field of the received burst is not identical to that of the saved burst.
Some basic parameters such as MCS or data length are not the same and a com-
posite MIMO measurement is not possible.
● 86 ("No Symbols for Measurement")
Too many head and tail symbols have been skipped.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 129

Command reference
● 93 ("OCXO Oven Temperature Too Low"):

The accuracy of measurement results can be impaired because the oven-control-
led crystal oscillator has a too low temperature. After switching-on the instrument,
the OCXO requires a warm-up phase to reach its operating temperature.
● 101 ("Firmware Error"):
Indicates a firmware or software error. If you encounter this error for the first time,
restart the instrument.
If the error occurs again, consider the following hints:
– Firmware errors can often be repaired by restoring the factory default settings.
– If a software package has not been properly installed, this failure is often indi-
cated in the "Setup" dialog, section "SW/HW-Equipment > Installed Software".
– Check for software updates correcting the error. Updates are provided in the
customer web on GLORIS (registration required): https://gloris.rohde-
schwarz.com.
If you get firmware errors even with the properly installed latest software version,
send a problem report including log files to Rohde & Schwarz.
● 102 ("Unidentified Error"):
Indicates an error not covered by other reliability values. For troubleshooting, follow
the steps described for "101 (firmware error)".
● 103 ("Parameter Error"):
Indicates that the measurement could not be performed due to internal conflicting
parameter settings.
A good approach to localize the conflicting settings is to start with a reset or preset
or even restore the factory default settings. Then reconfigure the measurement
step by step and check when the error occurs for the first time.
If you need assistance to localize the conflicting parameter settings, contact Rohde
& Schwarz (see http://www.service.rohde-schwarz.com).
● 104 ("Not Functional"):
The application could not be started with the configured parameter set.

R&S®CMW270/290/500 WLAN measurements
What's new
3 WLAN measurements
The WLAN measurements firmware application provides TX tests on WLAN signals.
The TX tests cover the following DUT's transmitter properties:
● Power vs. time for received burst
● Rise and fall power ramp
● DC power
● Modulation accuracy per OFDM symbol (EVM)
● Modulation accuracy per carrier for OFDM signals (EVM)
● Modulation accuracy per chip for DSSS signals (EVM)
● Signal statistics: center frequency error, timing error, symbol clock error, 802.11ax:
frequency offset error
● I/Q constellation diagram
● Power of unoccupied 802.11ax subcarriers (unused tone error measurement)
● DUT's power variation across the OFDM subcarriers (spectrum flatness)
● Out-of-band emissions (transmit spectrum mask)
Many of the tests and conformance requirements are specified in IEEE standard
802.11. The application supports WLAN signals according to:
● IEEE Std 802.11-2016
● IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021
To generate a WLAN signal in parallel to a TX measurement, use the GPRF generator
and WLAN waveform file.
To process a WLAN waveform file, you need the following options:
● R&S CMW-KW650 for 802.11a/b/g/n/j/p,
● R&S CMW-KW656 for 802.11ac, and
● R&S CMW-KW657 for 802.11ax.
See Chapter 3.2.6, "WLAN signal properties", on page 247.
3.1 What's new

See Chapter 3.2.2.2, "True MIMO measurements", on page 245.
● R&S CMW-KM012 activates the multi-evaluation list mode for all standards (see
Chapter 3.2.7, "Multi-evaluation list mode", on page 252).
WLAN signaling application allows you to set up an access point or station and to per-
form "combined signaling path" measurements, see Chapter 3.2.5, "Combined signal-
ing and measurement", on page 247.

3.2.1 Test setup
Connect the external RF signal source (mobile station, signal generator etc.) to one of
the bidirectional RF connectors on the front panel of the R&S CMW.
Connect your DUT with the R&S CMW according to the "Receive Mode" configuration:
● SISO......................................................................................................................242
● Composite MIMO.................................................................................................. 242
● True MIMO............................................................................................................ 243
3.2.1.1 SISO
Connect the external RF signal source (mobile station, signal generator etc.) to one of
the bidirectional RF connectors on the front panel of the R&S CMW.
3.2.1.2 Composite MIMO
For Composite MIMO measurements, connect the RF signal source to a single bidirec-
tional RF connector on the front panel.
To test a WLAN unit with several antennas, the antenna signals of the DUT must be
combined externally. The R&S CMW uses only a single RF input port.

To facilitate the evaluation of measurement results, ensure that the RF connections

between the individual antennas and the external combiner have the same physical
properties, e.g. the same attenuation.
3.2.1.3 True MIMO
Two transmitting antennas of the DUT are connected to two RF input ports. Different
Rx modules for the two paths are used. R&S CMW500/2xx supports only true MIMO
2x2.

3.2.2 How to measure a WLAN signal
After connecting your WLAN unit to the R&S CMW, you have to adjust the following
settings:
● The IEEE standard the signal complies to (802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11p, ...)
● For 802.11n, ac, and ax signals, the receive mode (SISO, composite MIMO, or true
MIMO)
● For 802.11n, 802.11p, 802.11ac, or 802.11ax signals, the signal bandwidth
● The measurements to be performed (enabling / disabling views)
● For true MIMO measurements, select a MIMO scenario
● The used RF connectors
● For 802.11n signals, the transmitted burst type (mixed or greenfield)
● For 802.11p signals, the power class
● The channels to be measured - either by channel number or center frequency
● The "Expected Nominal Power", "User Margin" and "External Attenuation". Recom-
mended values: "Expected Nominal Power" = peak WLAN burst power; "User Mar-
gin" = 0 dB.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 243

General description
For the first listed settings, there are dependencies, so that the order is important: Con-
figure first the standard, then the receive mode, then the bandwidth, then the assigned
views.
The measurement of a DSSS signal with low data rate and large payload sizes can
take up to 40 s. In remote control mode, set the measurement timeout to an adequate
value, e.g. to 60 s.
With the settings described above, the R&S CMW is able to synchronize to the incom-
ing bursts. For SISO signals and true MIMO measurements, it decodes the signal.
3.2.2.1 Composite MIMO measurements
During composite MIMO (CMIMO) measurements, the R&S CMW "compares" an

externally combined MIMO signal to a previously recorded reference signal. Reference
signals are recorded in a dedicated training mode.
● This feature requires option R&S CMW-KM652.

● In training mode, the reference DUT has to be configured to send repeatedly the
same burst for all antenna measurements.
● In measurement mode, the DUT has to be configured to send the same burst that
was used to generate the active training data. Possible heading and trailing sym-
bols due to sequence numbering and checksums can be skipped by the measure-
ment control logic.
● Composite MIMO measurements do not allow decoding of multiple spatial streams.
They only enable "composite" modulation accuracy measurements.
● Composite MIMO is available for 802.11n, 802.11ac, and 802.11ax signals.
● Up to 8 streams are supported for 802.11ac and 802.11ax signals
Up to 4 streams are supported for 802.11n signals
The reference signal is recorded "antenna per antenna". One by one, the individual
antennas of a reference DUT ("golden device") have to be connected and recorded.
When all antenna signals are successfully recorded, the R&S CMW decodes the burst
and stores the acquired "training data" in internal memory. They are available as long
as the measurement application is running and can also be stored to a file. In "mea-
surement mode", either training data from internal memory ("internal data") can be
used or a previously generated training data file can be loaded.
On an R&S CMW500/2xx, the WLAN measurement generates a file with extension

mif.
The file formats are not compatible between the different platforms. Example: You can-
not reuse a xmif file on an R&S CMW500/2xx.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 244

General description
3.2.2.2 True MIMO measurements
● True MIMO feature requires one option R&S CMW-KM654 per R&S CMW.
● True MIMO 2x2 is supported with an R&S CMW500/2xx.
● True MIMO is available for 802.11n, 802.11ac, and 802.11ax signals.
In a true MIMO scenario (TMIMO), the R&S CMW records two DUT's antennas, simul-
taneously connected to different Rx modules of the R&S CMW. The R&S CMW
records the signals of all antennas in parallel, see Chapter 3.2.1.3, "True MIMO",
on page 243.
3.2.3 Defining the scope of the measurement
OFDM / OFDMA signals

For OFDM / OFDMA signals, you can configure the number of PSDU symbols to be
measured. If the PSDU is shorter than the configured number of symbols, the available
PSDU symbols are measured.
In general, the preamble/header is not measured, except for power measurements.
Power vs. time measure over the entire burst, including preamble and payload. Even
LTF and data portion of the bursts can be evaluated separately. The following figure
shows the PPDU formats with highlighted LTF portion and data portion of the bursts.

DSSS signals
For DSSS signals, you can configure the number of PSDU chips to be measured. You
can also measure the preamble and header, or skip them.
If the PSDU is shorter than the configured number of chips, the available PSDU chips
are measured.
The first 26 chips of the burst and the last 26 chips of the burst are never measured.
3.2.4 Trigger signal
Trigger modes for WLAN measurements

The WLAN multi-evaluation measurement starts according to the configured trigger
source, see "Trigger Source" on page 303.
Trigger signals provided by the WLAN measurement

The WLAN multi-evaluation measurement provides trigger signal that can be used for
true MIMO measurements, options R&S CMW-KM654.
To address the trigger signals in remote commands, use "WLAN Meas: Multi Evalu-
ation", with replaced by the instance number of the measurement application.
For configuration, see Chapter 3.2.2.2, "True MIMO measurements", on page 245.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 246

General description
3.2.5 Combined signaling and measurement
The multi-evaluation measurement can be used in combination with the WLAN signal-
ing application (option R&S CMW-KS65x). A connection to the DUT can be set up by
the signaling application and the resulting DUT signal can be measured using the
multi-evaluation measurement.
Limitations
● Channel bandwidth 80+80 MHz is not supported in combined signal path.
● Transmit spectrum mask measurements in combined signal path are fully suppor-
ted only up to 40 MHz bandwidth.
For bandwidths > 40 MHz, the measurements only display the results in the fre-
quency range from -80 MHz to 80 MHz.
● An R&S CMW500/2xx is required for CSP
To use both applications in parallel, the "Combined Signal Path" scenario must be acti-
vated (see "Scenario = Combined Signal Path" on page 289). The signal routing and
analyzer settings are then configured by the signaling application. The multi-evaluation
measurement displays the corresponding signaling settings instead of its own settings.
These signaling settings can be configured both in the measurement GUI and in the
GUI of the signaling application.
To configure these settings via remote commands, the commands of the signaling
application must be used. For a command-mapping table, see Chapter 3.5.7, "Com-
bined signal path commands", on page 609.
If the same TRX path is used by WLAN measurement application and GPRF generator
or WLAN signaling (CSP), the power vs. time measurements partly show also
R&S CMW Tx power. The difference in displayed results is approx. 6 dB + ExtAttIn +
ExtAttOut.
Whenever the combined signal path scenario is activated or the controlling application
is changed, the RX frame trigger signal of the signaling application is selected auto-
matically as a trigger source. Its default settings are suitable for standards up to
802.11ac, channel bandwidth 20 MHz. For other input signals, specify a suitable num-
ber of symbols that need to be received before the trigger event is generated ("Min
Length"). This trigger source is mandatory for combined signal path measurements.
The recommended "Min Length" of RX frame trigger for bandwidths ≧ 80 MHz is 6.

General description
3.2.6.1 Bands and channel numbers
The IEEE 802.11 standard and its amendments currently describe WLAN applications
in the 2.4 GHz, 3.6 GHz, 4.9 GHz, and 5.0 GHz bands.
The R&S CMW covers all these bands (not all the applications) and implements the
canonical channel numbering for the 2.4 GHz, 4 GHz and 5 GHz band. The channel
center frequencies are defined at integer multiples of 5 MHz. The relationship between
center frequency and channel number is given by the following formula:
Channel center frequency = <lower band edge> + 5 × nch (MHz)
Where
● <lower band edge> = 2407 and nch = 1, 2,…, 14 for the 2.4 GHz band
● <lower band edge> = 4000 and nch = 0, 1,…, 200 for the 4 GHz band
● <lower band edge> = 5000 and nch = 0, 1,…, 200 for the 5 GHz band
The set of valid operating channel numbers by regulatory domain is defined in annex E
of standard IEEE Std 802.11-2016.
IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021 adds 6 GHz band and defines the related channels in annex
E.1 as shown in the following figure.

The radio resources for OFDM signals are divided into subcarriers (SC) in the fre-
quency domain and into OFDM symbols in the time domain. Within a channel, each
subcarrier is identified by an index, with the carrier frequency located in SC number 0.
The SC index range, the positions of pilot SC and unused SC indices depend on the
WLAN standard. The following table provides an overview of the most important con-
figurations.

The multi-evaluation measurement has the following limitations:

● For 802.11n MIMO signals, only the high throughput (HT) mode is supported.
3.2.6.3 MIMO signals
The R&S CMW supports the measurement of MIMO signals.

● Option R&S CMW-KM652 enables Composite MIMO measurements
● Option R&S CMW-KM654 enables True MIMO measurements
Option R&S CMW-KM651 is a prerequisite for all MIMO options.
This section introduces some terms specific to MIMO signals and helpful for under-
standing the measurement results. The general properties of corresponding SISO sig-
nals apply also to MIMO (see Table 3-1).
The transmitter block diagrams for MIMO signals are complex and described in detail
in IEEE Std 802.11-2016, section 19.3.3. In short, the transmission procedure for data
fields consists of the following steps:
● The data passes a scrambler, an encoder parser and FEC encoders.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 251

General description
● A stream parser divides the data into NSS spatial streams.

● Each spatial stream separately passes an interleaver and a constellation mapper.
● The NSS spatial streams are mapped to NSTS space-time streams. Two cases
must be distinguished:
– NSS < NSTS: Space-time block coding (STBC) spreads the constellation points
of the spatial streams into the space-time streams.
– NSS = NSTS: The constellation points of each spatial stream are mapped
unmodified to a space-time stream.
● A spatial mapper maps the NSTS space-time streams to NTX transmit chains, with
NSTS ≤ NTX. If constellation points from each space-time stream are mapped
directly onto the transmit chains (one-to-one mapping), this method is called direct
mapping.
● For each separate transmit chain, the following actions are performed: inverse dis-
crete Fourier transform (IDFT), cyclic shift insertion, guard interval insertion and
windowing. Then the RF signal of each chain is transmitted via a separate
antenna.
Summary: NSS spatial streams are mapped to NSTS space-time streams which are
mapped to NTX transmit chains and thus antennas, with 1 ≤ NSS ≤ NSTS ≤ NTX ≤ 4. Usu-
ally, equal values are selected for NSTS and NTX.
3.2.7 Multi-evaluation list mode
Option R&S CMW-KM012 provides multi-evaluation list mode (MELM). In this list
mode, the measurement interval can be subdivided into multiple segments, each with
different basic input signal properties. The list mode can be used to measure different
signal types supported by a DUT, in a single measurement.
The MELM for WLAN measurements supports modulation accuracy and transmit spec-
trum mask measurements. Segments can differ in the underlying standard, segment
time duration, level, frequency, channel bandwidth, etc.
MELM supports only SISO signals with the channel bandwidth of 20-MHz, 40-MHz, 80-
MHz or 160-MHz.
For 80+80 MHz signals, measure the two 80 MHz signal segments separately in two
different list mode segments:
● For one list mode segment, set the central frequency to the value matching with
the left 80 MHz segment.
● For another list mode segment, set the central frequency to the value matching
with the right 80 MHz segment.
Each segment contains an integer number of bursts with the same underlying configu-
ration as, e.g., standard, channel, level, channel bandwidth. The bursts can have a dif-
ferent duration and also the gaps between bursts can vary. For each segment, the seg-
ment duration, measurement offset and measurement time are configurable. The figure
below shows a series of three segments. Blue rectangles depict WLAN bursts.

Limitations:
● The R&S CMW supports up to 100 segments with up to 2000 bursts per segment
for modulation measurements. Spectrum measurements support up to 100 seg-
ments with up to 1000 bursts per segment.
● The maximum segment time is 1 s. The configuration must fulfill the following crite-
rion:
Segment time ≥ Meas. offset + Meas. time
● The maximum total captured time for all segments is limited (approximately 4.5 s -
depends on hardware). Capture buffer overflow indicates, that the volume of cap-
tured data exceeds available memory and the measurement time must be reduced.
It is possible to measure all bursts of a segment or to limit the measurement to some
bursts at the beginning of the segment. For this limitation, you can define statistical
length or measurement time.
The "current" result of a segment refers to the last measured burst of the statistical
length. Additional statistical values (average, maximum and standard deviation) are
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 253

General description
calculated for the entire statistical length. The example below shows a segment with 10
bursts and a statistical length of five measured bursts.
Results of bursts that cannot be measured accurately because of overflow, low signal
or synchronization error can be discarded (parameter Measure on Exception = OFF).
In that case, the measurement still tries to provide results for the specified statistical
length. If not enough bursts of the segment can be measured, a shorter statistical
length is used. In the example shown below, overflow occurs in the fourth burst. The
samples of this burst are discarded and burst number 6 is measured to reach the
specified statistical length. The reached statistical length, a reliability indicator for the
measurement and a reliability indicator for the segment are included in the measure-
ment results.
Trigger modes
A list mode measurement can either be triggered only once, or it can be retriggered at
the beginning of specified segments.
The retrigger flag of each segment is evaluated. It defines whether the measurement
waits for a trigger event before measuring the segment, or not. Retriggering the mea-
surement is recommended if the timing of the first timeslot of a segment is inaccurate,
e.g. because of signal reconfiguration at the DUT. Furthermore retriggering from time
to time can compensate for a possible time drift of the DUT. The retrigger flag of the
first segment of the measurement is always ignored (implicitly set to ON).
In the example shown below, the "Segment" trigger mode is enabled. The retrigger flag
is OFF for the second segment and ON for the third segment. Thus the measurement
stops when the first and second segments have been captured and waits for a trigger
event before capturing the third segment.

The list mode is essentially a single-shot remote control application. When a measure-
ment is initiated in list mode, all defined segments are measured once. Afterwards, the
results can be retrieved using FETCh commands. The following remote control com-
mands are used for list mode settings and result retrieval:

Figure 3-7: EVM vs carrier
Diagram contents:
● EVM vs symbol
The diagram contains one measurement result per OFDM symbol.
● EVM vs carrier
The diagram contains one measurement result per subcarrier. The subcarriers are
labeled according to IEEE 802.11. Subcarrier 0 is associated with the center fre-
quency. It is not measured. For additional unused subcarriers, refer to Table 3-2.
The subcarrier structure depends on the standard, see Chapter 3.2.6.2, "Physical
layer", on page 248.
Except unused subcarriers, for 802.11ax, the R&S CMW automatically excludes
from EVM measurements ±3 subcarriers; i.e. subcarrier -3 to subcarriers +3 from
the central frequency. For meaningful results, especially of I/Q offset and DC
power, set the center frequency of the R&S CMW to the same frequency as used
by the DUT's local oscillator (LO). It is usually the center frequency of the DUT.
I/Q offset is always measured in the center of the signal
For 80+80 MHz, two results for I/Q offset and DC power are displayed. The mea-
surement is done in the center of both 80 MHz bands.
For MIMO, the results for all received streams or the results for a selected stream
can be displayed.

The expected results depend on the modulation type. For an ideal QPSK signal, the
constellation points are on a circle around the origin, with relative phase angles of 90
deg.
Constellation diagrams give a graphical representation of the signal quality and can
help to reveal typical modulation errors causing signal distortions.
For correct measurements, set the center frequency of the R&S CMW to the same fre-
quency as used by the DUT's local oscillator (LO). It is usually the center frequency of
the DUT.
For 80+80 MHz, the R&S CMW measures in the center of both 80 MHz bands.

The unused tone error measures the EVM of unoccupied tones averaged over 26 sub-
carriers (2 MHz). The blue bars correspond to the current resource unit (RU) distribu-
tion. The occupied subcarrier in this example is the fourth RU within 26-tone RUs and it
is excluded from this measurement.
The limit of the occupied carrier is set as "TB high power" if the "Transmit Power" for
unused tone error is set to high. The limit of the occupied carrier is set as "TB low
power" if the "Transmit Power" for unused tone error is set to low. See "Modulation lim-
its 802.11ax" on page 311. The limit line for unoccupied subcarriers is calculated
according to IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021, equations (27-131) and (27-132).

Figure 3-13: IEEE transmit spectrum mask results (OFDM; OBW enabled)
The spectrum measurement covers a symmetric frequency range that is four times the
channel bandwidth wide. The 0-MHz point of the X-axis is at the center of the channel.
A value of 0 dB corresponds to the maximum power value (DSSS) or spectral density
(OFDM) of the signal measured within the current burst.
The "Margin" table below the diagram contains values which are relevant for the limit
check.
See "Transmit spectrum mask DSSS" on page 316 and subsequent sections.
The "Margin" values indicate the vertical distance between the spectrum mask and the
result trace. For each section S of the spectrum mask (e.g. "AB" or "DC"), Margin(S)
represents the "worst" trace value:
Margin(S) = max {Trace(f) - Limit(f) | f in S}
A positive margin indicates that the limit is exceeded. Margin results are displayed for
the current, average and maximum trace.
For 80+80 MHz signals, the margin results are available per segment. For small chan-
nel distances, both segments are covered by a single diagram, with the 0-MHz point of
the X-axis at the center of the left segment. For large channel distances, there are two
diagrams - one per segment.

Figure 3-16: WLAN multi-evaluation: Power vs. time results
Configure the measurement always to cover whole bursts.

The content of the ramp diagrams depends on the selected "Standard":
● For DSSS signals, the focus is on the associated limits (see "Power vs. time limits"
on page 305). The signal power is presented as a percentage of the "Reference
Power", which can be set to either the maximum or to the mean burst power. The
green vertical lines indicate the 10% and 90% threshold crossings, the 0 µs posi-
tion corresponds to the start of the measured frame.
● For OFDM signals, the diagrams show the absolute signal power in dBm.
For correct measurements, set the center frequency of the R&S CMW to the same fre-
quency as used by the DUT's local oscillator (LO). It is usually the center frequency of
the DUT.
Deviation in combined signal path

If the same TRX path is used by WLAN measurement application and GPRF generator
or WLAN signaling (CSP), the power vs. time measurements partly show also
R&S CMW Tx power. The difference in displayed results is approx. 6 dB + ExtAttIn +
ExtAttOut. The following figure shows measurements at HE SU and HE TB burst
types. In upper graph for HE SU, the trigger frame before the Rx burst is visible, for
HE_SU an ACK after the Rx burst is visible.

Band / Channels /Center Frequency

Using the band and channel settings, you can specify the input signal in terms of stan-
dard WLAN channels in a supported band. The center frequency of the overall channel
can also be set directly, which allows for non-standard WLAN channels. If a channel
frequency corresponds to a channel index number, this number is displayed.
Note:
● The available channel index numbers and related frequencies depend on the
selected band.
● The R&S CMW does not limit the set of available channels based on the selected
standard, nor does it enforce any regulatory restrictions. Exception: The 4-GHz
band can only be configured for 802.11n.
● Measuring signals above 3.3 GHz requires a 6 GHz option.
Depending on the signal bandwidth the input signal comprises one, two, four or eight
RF side channels.
The available settings change accordingly:
● For 5 MHz, 10 MHz or 20 MHz signal bandwidth, there is only a single channel.
"Frequency" sets the center frequency of the channel.
Figure 3-27: Frequency settings for 20 MHz 802.11n
● A 40 MHz 802.11n signal consists of a primary 20 MHz channel and a secondary

20 MHz channel that is one of the non-overlapping channels right above ("Secon-
dary Channel": 1) or right below ("Secondary Channel": -1) the "Primary Channel".
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 291

GUI reference
The frequency offset between primary and secondary channel is ±20 MHz. The
secondary channel number is ±4 (if it is in the allowed channel number range).
"Center Frequency" sets the center frequency of the 40 MHz bandwidth.
Figure 3-28: Frequency settings for 40 MHz
● An 802.11ac or ax signal with 40 MHz, 80 MHz or 160 MHz bandwidth consists of

2, 4 or 8 adjacent, non-overlapping 20 MHz channels, respectively.
Setting one of the 20 MHz channel indices automatically adjusts the remaining
ones.
"Center Frequency" sets the center frequency of the total bandwidth. For 80+80
MHz signals, it sets the center frequency of the left segment.
Figure 3-29: Frequency settings for 80+80 MHz
● For IEEE 802.11ax measurements with an R&S CMW-Z800A, the RF frequency of

the DUT is in the range 5.925 GHz to 7.125 GHz. The measurement application
measures on down-converted signal from the R&S CMW-Z800A (fDUT - 4800 MHz).
The measurement shows the actual measurement frequency and not the fre-
quency of the DUT. The measurement is only used in combined signal path and
configures the lower frequency automatically.
In the standalone (SA) scenario, these parameters are controlled by the measurement.
In the combined signal path (CSP) scenario, they are controlled by the signaling appli-

Expected Nominal Power

Sets the analyzer in accordance with the nominal power of the signal to be measured.
The nominal power is the average output power at the DUT during the measurement
intervals where the transmitter is on.
The reference level is calculated as the expected peak power at the output of the DUT:
Reference level = expected nominal power + user margin
The actual input power at the connectors must be within the level range of the selected
RF input connector; refer to the data sheet. With correctly configured power settings,
the input power equals the "Reference Level" minus the "External Attenuation (Input)"
value.

Modulation Filter
Refines the basic burst filter of IEEE standard to limit the evaluation to bursts of a par-
ticular modulation type.
While the value "All" is selected and if the signal-to-noise ratio is low, the modulation
estimation is not able to detect the correct modulation. If it fails, usually 1024 QAM is
estimated because noise looks similar. In that case, select the correct modulation man-
ually.
If the received burst has a different modulation, the reliability indicates "Wrong Modula-
tion", see Chapter 3.5.1.8, "Reliability indicator", on page 351.
● In stand-alone for HE_TRIG bursts (802.11ax) measurements, a wrong burst is
ignored, but makes EVM worse.
● In stand-alone measurements for all other bursts and standards, a after 10 wrong
bursts a "Wrong Modulation" is indicated. Wrong bursts are not included in EVM
calculation.
● In combined signal path (CSP), a wrong burst is ignored also for EVM calculation.
In CSP, consider the dependency between this parameter and the data rate, set for the

Repetition
Defines how often the measurement is repeated if it is not stopped explicitly or by a
failed limit check.
● Continuous: The measurement is continued until it is explicitly terminated. The
results are periodically updated.
● Single-Shot: The measurement is stopped after one measurement cycle.
Single-shot is preferable if only a single measurement result is required under fixed
conditions, which is typical for remote-controlled measurements. The continuous mode
is suitable to monitor the evolution of the measurement results and to observe how
they depend on the measurement configuration, which is typically done in manual con-
trol.

Remote command:
CONFigure:WLAN:MEAS:MEValuation:SCOunt:MODulation
Tracking ← Modulation
The WLAN burst signal is transformed to the frequency domain using an FFT opera-
tion. The FFT is performed symbol-wise for all symbols of the payload. The calculated
FFTs include:
● The common phase drift of all subcarriers at symbol i
● The phase shift of subcarrier k at symbol i caused by the timing drift
● The gain at symbol i in relation to the reference gain at the long symbol (LS)
Thus, the frequency estimate is not error-free in general. Therefore, the overall fre-
quency deviation of the DUT must be compensated.
"Phase":
The common phase drift of all subcarriers at symbol i is made up of the frequency devi-
ation and the phase jitter at symbol i. The phase jitter is composed of a constant part
and a nonlinear part.
The constant part is caused by the uncompensated frequency deviation. The measure-
ment of the phase starts at the first symbol of the payload, whereas the channel fre-
quency response represents the channel at the long symbol of the preamble. The
uncompensated frequency deviation produces a phase drift between the long symbol
and the first symbol of the payload. It appears as a constant part in the common phase
drift.
The nonlinear part can be caused by the phase noise of the DUT oscillator. Or it can
be caused by the increase of the DUT amplifier temperature at the beginning of the
burst.
Referring to the IEEE 802.11 standard, the common phase drift must be estimated and
compensated from the pilots. Therefore, the phase tracking is normally activated as the
default setting.
For composite MIMO and 802.11ac input signals, it is always enabled.
"Timing":
This phase is caused by the relative clock deviation of the reference oscillator. Timing
drift tracking is activated by default. It depends on the standard, whether the tracking is
requested by IEEE 802.11 or not.
"Level":
A change of the gain at symbol i (caused, for example, by an increase of the DUT
amplifier temperature) can lead to symbol errors, especially for large symbol alphabets.
In this case, the estimation and compensation of the gain can be useful. However,
according to the IEEE 802.11 standard, the compensation of the gain is not a require-
ment, and therefore is not activated per default.

DSSS Tx Filter Estimation ← Modulation

This parameter is relevant for 802.11b/g DSSS signals only. It determines if and how
accurate the transmit filter is estimated.
The transmitter is using some type of filtering to satisfy the spectral mask requirement
of the 802.11b/g standard. As the standard does not specify what type of filtering to
use, the modulation results are computed with incorrect knowledge of the transmitter
filtering. The wrong filtering causes the EVM for a perfect 802.11b signal to have a
nonzero EVM level. Accurate transmit filter estimation reduces the measured EVM.
For maximum measurement speed, disable "DSSS Tx Filter Estimation". With filter
estimation enabled, the higher the number of equalizer filter "Taps", the more accurate
the estimation, but also the lower the measurement speed.

Power vs. time limits

Access: "Config" hotkey > "Limits" > "Power vs. Time" section.
Standard IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021 defines requirements for HE PHY in section
27.3.15.3 "Pre-correction accuracy requirements". After the AP triggers the uplink
transmissions, the STA transmits the HE TB PPDU at a specified time. The accuracy of
this time must be ±0.4 μs relative to the frame sent by the AP to trigger the UL trans-
missions.
The calculation of timing error is supported for OFDM standards. It requires a suitable
trigger to be specified as a trigger source.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 305

GUI reference
A limit for the distribution of timing error is not defined in standard. The limit check
applies only for OFDM SISO measurements. Exceeding the timing error distribution
limit has no impact on the stop "On Limit Failure" condition or out-of-tolerance counter.
The rise time and fall time represent a basic pulse shaping criterion for DSSS signals.
IEEE Std 802.11-2016 defines related requirements in sections 15.4.5.8 and 16.3.7.7
"Transmit power-on and power-down ramp". The transmit power-on ramp (rise time) for
10% to 90% of maximum power must be no greater than 2 μs. The transmit power-
down ramp (fall time) for 90% to 10% of maximum power must also be no greater than
2 μs.
All limits can be set in the configuration dialog.
Figure 3-33: Power vs. time limit settings
As an alternative to the maximum power, it is also possible to select the average power
as the reference level.
See also " Reference Power" on page 302.
The pulse shape of DSSS signals is complemented by their spectrum mask, see
"Transmit spectrum mask DSSS" on page 316 for details.

Modulation limits DSSS

Access: "Config" hotkey > "Limits" > "Modulation" > "802.11b/g DSSS" section.
A poor modulation accuracy of the transmitter increases the transmission errors. The
error vector magnitude (EVM) is the critical quantity to assess the modulation accuracy
of a transmitter.
According to IEEE, the peak EVM of a DSSS signal must not exceed 35 %. This limit
must be checked for 1000 samples (chips) of a burst. Center frequency and chip clock
tolerance are specified in ppm of the carrier frequency: Errors must not exceed ±25
ppm. For channel 1, the limit is 25 ppm of 2.412 GHZ = 60.3 kHz.

The energy that spills outside the designated radio channel increases the interference
with adjacent channels and decreases the system capacity. The amount of unwanted
off-carrier energy is assessed by a spectrum measurement.
Limits are defined via a transmit spectrum mask divided into several frequency areas.

The transmit spectrum mask is defined via points connected by horizontal lines. The
mask is symmetric relative to the center frequency of the RF analyzer (offset 0 MHz),
see figure below. The borders of the areas are fixed as defined by IEEE, with the
points A at the edges of the frequency range covered by the measurement.

● For the power classes C and D, no limit check is performed. An accurate limit
check is not possible due to insufficient dynamic range.

3.3.3.7 Generator shortcut
Access: "Config" hotkey > "Generator Shortcut" section.

A standard use case in "StandAlone (Non-Signaling)" mode is to use the GPRF gener-
ator to generate a signal the DUT replies to. In particular, one is interested in the DUT's
reaction on varying generator signals.
To provide better support for this use case, the parameters of the GPRF generator can
be set from the WLAN measurement GUI.
Select the appropriate GPRF generator instance.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 324

GUI reference
When a connection to the GPRF generator instance is established, two additional soft-
keys (with corresponding hotkey bars) provide access to the generator configuration.
Figure 3-48: ARB: softkey and hotkey bar
Figure 3-49: GPRF<instance> generator: softkey and hotkey bar
Use the appropriate softkey/hotkey combination to access the generator parameters.
● The "Configure Generator" softkey opens the configuration tree of the connected
GPRF generator instance.
● For details on the available parameters, refer to the GPRF generator documenta-
tion.
3.3.3.8 Additional softkeys and hotkeys
The measurement provides some softkey/hotkey combinations which have no equiva-

lent in the configuration dialog. Most of these hotkeys provide display configurations
(like diagram scaling). They are self-explanatory and do not have any remote-control
commands assigned.
The remaining softkeys > hotkeys are described below.
The softkey "WLAN Signaling" is displayed only if the combined signal path scenario is
active and is provided by the "WLAN Signaling" application selected as controlling
application. See also "Scenario = Combined Signal Path" on page 289.
The softkeys "ARB / List Mode" and "GPRF Generator" are displayed only if the stand-
alone scenario is active and the generator shortcut is enabled, see Chapter 3.3.3.7,
"Generator shortcut", on page 324.

3.4 Programming
The following sections provide programming examples for the WLAN multi-evaluation
measurement.
The WLAN multi-evaluation measurement is programmed as follows:
● The measurement is controlled by SCPI commands with the following syn-
tax: ...WLAN:MEAS:MEValuation...
● Use general commands of the type ...:WLAN:MEAS... (no :MEValuation
mnemonic) to define the signal routing and perform RF and analyzer settings.
● Use general commands of the type ...:WLAN:MEAS:ISIGnal...
(no :MEValuation mnemonic) to inform the R&S CMW about the basic proper-
ties of the measured WLAN signal.
● After a *RST, the measurement is switched off. Use
READ:WLAN:MEAS:MEValuation...? to initiate a single-shot measurement and
retrieve the results. You can also start the measurement using
INIT:WLAN:MEAS:MEValuation and retrieve the results using
FETCh:WLAN:MEAS:MEValuation...?.

3.4.16 Using WLAN list mode
The WLAN multi-evaluation list mode is programmed as follows:

● The measurement is controlled by SCPI commands with the following syn-
tax: ...WLAN:MEAS:MEValuation:LIST...
● Use general commands of the type ...:WLAN:MEAS... (no :MEValuation
mnemonic) to define the signal routing and perform RF and analyzer settings.
● After a *RST, the measurement is switched off and list mode is disabled. Use
CONFigure:WLAN:MEAS:MEValuation:LIST ON to enable the list mode and
INIT:WLAN:MEAS:MEValuation to initiate a single-shot measurement.
● Use FETCh:WLAN:MEAS:MEValuation:LIST:...? commands to retrieve the
results.
Speed considerations
The following measurement settings have an impact on the measurement speed:
● The number and size of the segments and the number of measured bursts in each
segment
● The number and type of results that the R&S CMW needs to calculate

Command reference
3.5 Command reference

The following sections provide detailed reference information on the remote control
commands of the "WLAN Measurements" application.
● Conventions and general information................................................................... 348
● General measurement settings............................................................................. 355
● Multi-evaluation measurement control commands................................................370
● Measurement limit settings................................................................................... 401
● Measurement result commands............................................................................458
● Combined signal path commands.........................................................................609
3.5.1 Conventions and general information
The following sections describe the most important conventions and general informa-
tion concerning the command reference.
3.5.1.1 MEAS
MEAS is used as abbreviation of "MEASurement<instance>". For better readability,

only the abbreviated form (which is also accepted by the instrument) is given in the
command reference.
The <instance> is relevant for instruments supporting several instances of the same
measurement application. It can be omitted if the instrument supports only one
instance, or to address the first instance.
3.5.1.2 FETCh, READ and CALCulate commands
All commands are used to retrieve measurement results:

● FETCh... returns the results of the measurement cycle after the cycle is com-
plete. Before sending a FETCh..., start the measurement via an INITiate....
● READ... starts a new single-shot measurement and returns the results.
● CALCulate... returns one limit check result per FETCh result:
– OK: The FETCh result is located within the limits or no limit has been defined/
enabled for this result.
– ULEU ("User limit exceeded upper"): An upper limit is violated. The FETCh
result is located above the limit.
– ULEL ("User limit exceeded lower"): A lower limit is violated. The FETCh result
is located below the limit.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 348

Command reference
3.5.1.3 Current and statistical results
The measurement is repeated according to the selected statistic count and repetition
mode. Consecutive measurement values are stored and used to calculate statistical
results.
Commands for result query often contain a mnemonic that indicates which results are
returned: CURRent, AVERage, EXTReme, MINimum, MAXimum or SDEViation.
3.5.1.4 Trace Sub-Arrays
The optional query parameters <Start>, <Count> and <Decimation> can be used
to limit the value array that is returned by a "TRACe" command:
1. Limit the returned array to the segment beginning with position <Start>.
2. If necessary, further limit the segment to <Count> values.
3. If necessary, further decimate the segment <Start> ... <Start>+<Count>-1 by

returning only every nth value (<Decimation> = n)
Example:
FETCh:<FWA>:MEAS:MEV:TRACe:xx? 100, 10, 3 returns every 3rd value of the
10 values beginning with the 100th one.
3.5.1.5 Values for RF path selection
To select an RF input path, you must specify an RF connector and an RX module (con-
verter).
Which connectors and modules can be specified in a command, depends on the instal-
led hardware, the test setup and the active subinstrument or instance .
This chapter lists all values available for path selection. Depending on your configura-
tion, only a subset is relevant for you. Virtual connector names are only relevant for
setting commands. Queries return the physical connector names.
Additional information is available in the base unit documentation. It describes typical
instrument configurations with the allowed RF connector - TX/RX module combinations
and the mapping of virtual connector names to physical connectors.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 349

Command reference

query parameters. Otherwise, the command usage is stated as follows:
– "Setting only": The command can only be used to set parameters.
– "Query only": The command can only be used to query parameters.
– "Event": The command initiates an event.
● Parameter usage
The parameter usage is indicated by the keyword preceding the parameters:
– "Parameters" are sent with a setting or query command and are returned as
the result of a query.
– "Setting parameters" are sent with a setting command.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 350

Command reference
– "Query parameters" are sent with a query command, to refine the query.
– "Return values" are returned as the result of a query.
● Parameter type

Enumerated values are explicitly listed, separated by pipes (example: A | B | C).
● Firmware/Software:
Indicates the lowest software version supporting the command. Command
enhancements in later software versions are also indicated.
3.5.1.8 Reliability indicator
The first value in the output arrays of FETCh...?, READ...? and CALCulate...?
queries indicates the most severe error that has occurred during the measurement.
Example for an output array: 0, 10.22, 10.15, 10.01, 10.29, 100 (reliability = 0, followed
by 5 numeric measurement values).
In list mode, a zero reliability indicator indicates that the results in all measured seg-
ments are valid. A non-zero value indicates that an error occurred in at least one of the
measured segments.
The reliability indicator has one of the following values:
● 0 ("No Error"):
Measurement values available, no error detected.
● 1 ("Measurement Timeout"):
The measurement has been stopped after the configured measurement timeout.
Measurement results can be available. However, at least a part of the measure-
ment provides only INValid results or has not completed the full statistic count.
● 2 ("Capture Buffer Overflow"):
The measurement configuration results in a capture length that exceeds the availa-
ble memory.
● 3 ("Input Overdriven") / 4 ("Input Underdriven"):
The accuracy of measurement results can be impaired because the input signal
level was too high / too low.
● 6 ("Trigger Timeout"):
The measurement could not be started or continued because no trigger event was
detected.
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 351

Command reference
● 7 ("Acquisition Error"):
The R&S CMW could not properly decode the RF input signal.
● 8 ("Sync Error"):
The R&S CMW could not synchronize to the RF input signal.
● 9 ("Uncal"):
Due to an inappropriate configuration of resolution bandwidth, video bandwidth or
sweep time, the measurement results are not within the specified data sheet limits.
● 15 ("Reference Frequency Error"):
The instrument has been configured to use an external reference signal. But the
reference oscillator could not be phase-locked to the external signal (for example
signal level too low, frequency out of range or reference signal not available at all).
● 16 ("RF Not Available"):
The measurement could not be started because the configured RF input path was
not active.
This problem can occur if a measurement is started in combined signal path mode
and the controlling application has not yet activated the input path.
● 17 ("RF Level Not Settled") / 18 ("RF Frequency Not Settled"):
The measurement could not be started because the R&S CMW was not yet ready
to deliver stable results after a change of the input signal power / the input signal
frequency.
● 19 ("Call Not Established"):
For measurements: The measurement could not be started because no signaling
connection to the DUT was established.
For DAU IMS service: Establishing a voice over IMS call failed.
● 20 ("Call Type Not Usable"):
For measurements: The measurement could not be started because the estab-
lished signaling connection had wrong properties.
For DAU IMS service: The voice over IMS settings could not be applied.
● 21 ("Call Lost"):
For measurements: The measurement was interrupted because the signaling con-
nection to the DUT was lost.
For DAU IMS service: The voice over IMS call was lost.
● 23 ("Missing Option"):
An action cannot be executed due to a missing option.
For GPRF generator: The ARB file cannot be played due to a missing option.
● 24 ("Invalid RF Setting"):
The desired RF TX level or RF RX reference level could not be applied.
● 25 ("Level Overrange"):
The RF TX level is in overrange. The signal quality can be degraded.
● 26 ("Resource Conflict"):
The application could not be started or has been stopped due to a conflicting hard-
ware resource or software option that is allocated by another application.
Stop the application that has allocated the conflicting resources and try again.
● 28 ("Unexpected Parameter Change"):
One or more measurement configuration parameters were changed while the mea-
surement completed. The results were not obtained with these new parameter val-
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 352

Command reference
ues. Repeat the measurement. This situation can only occur in remote single-shot
mode.
● 29 ("Invalid RF Frequency Setting"):
The desired RF TX frequency or RF RX frequency could not be applied.
● 30 ("File Not Found"):
The specified file could not be found.
● 40 ("ARB File CRC Error"):
The cyclic redundancy check of the ARB file failed. The ARB file is corrupt and not
reliable.
● 42 ("ARB Header Tag Invalid"):
The ARB file selected in the GPRF generator contains an invalid header tag.
● 43 ("ARB Segment Overflow"):
The number of segments in the multi-segment ARB file is higher than the allowed
maximum.
● 44 ("ARB File Not Found"):

The repetition mode equals "Single Shot" and the playback length is too long.
Reduce the playback length or set the repetition mode to "Continuous".
<Length> = (<Cycles> * <Samples> + <Additional Samples>) / <Clock Rate>
● 50 ("Startup Error"):
The data application unit (DAU), a DAU service or a DAU measurement could not
be started. Execute a DAU self-test.
● 51 ("No Reply"):
The DAU has received no response, for example for a ping request.
● 52 ("Connection Error")
A connection setup failed or a connection was lost.
For DAU: The DAU could not establish a connection to internal components.
Restart the instrument.
● 53 ("Configuration Error"):
The current DAU configuration is incomplete or wrong and could not be applied.
Check especially the IP address configuration.
● 54 ("Filesystem Error"):
The system drive of the DAU is full or corrupt. Execute a DAU self-test.
● 70 ("Wrong Standard")
The standard of the measured signal does not match the configured standard.
● 71 ("Wrong Bandwidth")
The bandwidth of the measured signal does not match the configured bandwidth.
● 72 ("Wrong Burst Type")
The burst type of the measured signal does not match the configured burst type.
● 73 ("MIMO Signal Detected")
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 353

Command reference
The measurement expects a SISO signal and detected a MIMO signal. Use a
MIMO receive mode to measure this signal.
● 74 ("More Streams than Antennas")
The measured signal has more streams than expected due to the configured num-
ber of antennas. Increase the configured number of antennas to measure this sig-
nal.
● 75 ("Matrix Inversion Failed")
The inversion of the channel matrix failed for a MIMO measurement. Check that
the antennas are connected correctly to the instrument.
● 76 ("SIG CRC Failed")
The cyclic redundancy check of a SIGNAL field failed.
● 77 ("Parity Check Failed")
The parity check of a SIGNAL field failed.
● 78 ("Bursts Not Identical")
In training mode for composite MIMO measurements, at least some symbols of
sequential bursts need to be identical to be used as training data. Setting a fix
scrambler initialization can solve this problem.
● 79 ("Wrong Modulation")
The modulation type of the measured signal does not match the configured modu-
lation type.
● 80 ("SISO Signal Detected")
Received signal contains only one stream.
● 81 ("Less Streams than Antennas")
Received signal has fewer streams than configured antennas. Reconfigure the
number of antennas.
● 82 ("Signal Fields of Different Antennas Are Not Identical")
The signal fields of all captured antennas are compared. In a valid MIMO transmis-
sion, all signal fields are identical. If not, some basic parameters such as MCS or
data length are not the same and a MIMO measurement is not possible.
● 83 ("Bit Errors in Some of the Received Symbols")
Adjust input signal power and repeat training.
● 84 ("First and Last Symbols Need to Be Skipped")
Due to a sequence counter in the MAC header the first and the last symbol (due to
the FCS) change from one burst to another. You can configure the first and the last
symbol to be skipped.
● 85 ("Received and Saved Bursts Are Not Identical")
The signal field of the received burst is not identical to that of the saved burst.
Some basic parameters such as MCS or data length are not the same and a com-
posite MIMO measurement is not possible.
● 86 ("No Symbols for Measurement")
Too many head and tail symbols have been skipped.
● 93 ("OCXO Oven Temperature Too Low"):
The accuracy of measurement results can be impaired because the oven-control-
led crystal oscillator has a too low temperature. After switching-on the instrument,
the OCXO requires a warm-up phase to reach its operating temperature.
● 101 ("Firmware Error"):
User Manual 1173.9692.02 ─ 35 354

Command reference
Indicates a firmware or software error. If you encounter this error for the first time,
restart the instrument.
If the error occurs again, consider the following hints:
– Firmware errors can often be repaired by restoring the factory default settings.
– If a software package has not been properly installed, this failure is often indi-
cated in the "Setup" dialog, section "SW/HW-Equipment > Installed Software".
– Check for software updates correcting the error. Updates are provided in the
customer web on GLORIS (registration required): https://gloris.rohde-
schwarz.com.
If you get firmware errors even with the properly installed latest software version,
send a problem report including log files to Rohde & Schwarz.
● 102 ("Unidentified Error"):
Indicates an error not covered by other reliability values. For troubleshooting, follow
the steps described for "101 (firmware error)".
● 103 ("Parameter Error"):
Indicates that the measurement could not be performed due to internal conflicting
parameter settings.
A good approach to localize the conflicting settings is to start with a reset or preset
or even restore the factory default settings. Then reconfigure the measurement
step by step and check when the error occurs for the first time.
If you need assistance to localize the conflicting parameter settings, contact Rohde
& Schwarz (see http://www.service.rohde-schwarz.com).
● 104 ("Not Functional"):
The application could not be started with the configured parameter set.

CONFigure:WLAN:MEAS:MEValuation:TOUT <TCDTimeout>
Defines a timeout for the measurement. The timer is started when the measurement is
initiated via a READ or INIT command. It is not started if the measurement is initiated
manually ([ON | OFF] key or [RESTART | STOP] key).
When the measurement has completed the first measurement cycle (first single shot),
the statistical depth is reached and the timer is reset.
If the first measurement cycle has not been completed when the timer expires, the
measurement is stopped. The measurement state changes to RDY. The reliability indi-
cator is set to 1, indicating that a measurement timeout occurred. Still running READ,
FETCh or CALCulate commands are completed, returning the available results. At
least for some results, there are no values at all or the statistical depth has not been
reached.
A timeout of 0 s corresponds to an infinite measurement timeout.
The measurement of a DSSS signal with low data rate and large payload sizes can
take up to 40 s. Set the measurement timeout to an adequate value, e.g. to 60 s.
Parameters:
<TCDTimeout> numeric
Default unit: s

Return the single value RMS power results for the individual space-time streams. The
current, average, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation results can be retrieved.
For a meaningful result, set the spatial mapping matrix in the DUT to direct mapping. It
causes a one-to-one mapping of space time streams to TX antennas. Thus a broken
TX chain (no power) is detected and a damaged chain is identified by its bad EVM.
Return values:
<PowerSTS_Tx> float
Eight values, one value per space-time stream
Default unit: dBm
Example: See Performing single-shot measurements (OFDM, CMIMO).

3.5.7 Combined signal path commands
For some settings, the command to be used depends on the active scenario. While the
combined signal path (CSP) scenario is active, these settings are configured via com-
mands of the signaling application. While the standalone (SA) scenario is active, they
are configured via measurement commands.
The following mapping table provides an overview.
