2 Welcome to the Extended SequencerThe extended sequencer (R&S SMW-K501/-K502/-K503/-K504) is a firmware applica-tion that allows the R&S SMW to generate complex signal sequences in realtime.

The signal sequences can be configured in one of the follwoing ways:● Manually in XML files (R&S SMW-K501, user Mode)● With the R&S Pulse Sequencer software (R&S SMW-K501/K502, pulse sequencer

or direction finding modes)● Via an external simulation tool (R&S SMW-K503, real time control interface mode)

where the control words are streamed via LAN.

Supported operating modes and their key features

The extended sequencer options provide different operating modes for creating anextended sequence and generating the signal in the R&S SMW.● "User Mode"

The extended sequencing is specified by a set of xml based command lists. Thismode is only supported by the standard baseband R&S SMW.The main features of this mode are:– Multi-segment waveform sequencing with loops and nested loops– Waveform segment signal generation with variable repetition intervals and rep-

etition count per segment– Attenuation profiles with optional interpolation– Frequency hopping with various phase options– Reduced calculation time and file size compared to simple ARB file creation– Support of up to two entities– Long simulation times

● "Pulse Sequencer"and "Direction Finder" modesThese modes handle the signals configured with the R&S Pulse Sequencer soft-ware.The software enables you to configure pulse signals for test scenarios of any com-plexity, e.g. to simulate the signals of different emitter and receiver configurations,including antennas and antenna scanning. The "Direction Finder" mode supportsdirection finding scenarios with multiple antennas and individual positioning to sim-ulate dynamic antenna moving

● "Real Time Control Interface" modeIn this mode, the R&S SMW is enhanced by a dedicated 1 GBit/s LAN interface forPDW streaming.PDWs are streamed via an external LAN interface to control a real time sequencerof the R&S SMW-B9. Either, precalculated waveform can be played back, or cer-tain signals such as rectangular pulses, barker codes and chirps can be generatedin real time.

See Chapter 3, "About the Extended Sequencer", on page 10 for details on the com-ponents and the functionality of the extended sequencing application.

3 About the Extended SequencerWhen generating signals with the ARB, signal is calculated as one large waveform,including environmental effects like attenuation and frequency hopping. In contrast tothe ARB signal generation, the extended sequencing function separates waveformsegments, antenna attenuation and frequency hopping. This method provides shortercalculation times and less file size, as illustrated in the following example.

Example: Operating principle of an ARB waveform compared to extendedsequencing

This example illustrates the differences between a waveform signal created for play-back with the ARB, compared with the waveform sequence processed in the usermode of the extended sequencer.● ARB waveform with antenna attenuation

Figure 3-1: ARB waveform

In ARB mode, the attenuation profiles and frequency hopping are calculated sam-ple by sample. In addition, same segments in the waveform are repeated and pau-ses between the segments are filled with zero samples. At a high clock rate, theresulting file size is large, as shown in the following example.Example: antenna scan of 4 s at 200 MHz clock rate:– 200 MSamples/s x 4 bytes x 4 s = 2.9 GByte

● Extended sequencing waveform with antenna attenuation


11User Manual 1177.6269.02 ─ 13

Figure 3-2: Extended sequencing with antenna attenuation

All occurring waveform segments are stored in a multi-segment waveform file. Thesequence list determines at what time which waveform segment is played. Pausesare filled with zero samples without occupying memory size in the waveform.Antenna attenuations and frequency hopping are loaded separately and added tothe generated waveform segment sequence directly in the R&S SMW. This way ofcomposing the multi-segment waveform signal saves very much memory sizeespecially for long sequences.Example: antenna scan of 20 s at 200 MHz clock rate:– 2 waveforms x 200 MSamples x 4 byte X 500 µs = 800 kByte– 2 antennas with 10000 entries and interpolation x 150 bytes = 1.5 MByte

(approximately 20 s simulation time)

3.2 About the Extended Sequencer in User Mode

Option: see "User mode options" on page 11.

The user mode supports user-specific sequencing of multi-segment waveform seg-ments via XML commands specified in a sequencing list. In addition to the sequencingfeatures you can also specify antenna attenuation and frequency hopping using XMLcommands stored in separate lists.

The files are loaded into the R&S SMW via USB, file sharing access or remote control,see section "File and Data Management" in the R&S SMW user manual.

The R&S SMW generates the resulting signal sequence by playing back the sequentialelements of the sequence list, including the attenuation profiles and frequency hoppingover time.

3.2.1.1 Sequence List and Sub-Sequence List

The sequence list determines the sequential sequences and loops and nested loops.It consists of entries which refer to a multi-segment waveform or a subsequence. Eachentry includes either a fixed off time, or relates to a time list with varying off times.

A multi-segment waveform is a composed signal containing several multiple independ-ent waveforms called segments. Each segment represents an independent waveformthat can be referenced in the sequence. Thus you can quickly alternate between differ-ent waveforms and generate, e.g., pulse train signals with staggered pulse widths.You can create and download a multi-segment waveform file even directly with theR&S SMW or the simulation software R&S WinIQSIM2. For information on how to pro-ceed, see the base unit user manuals, e.g. chapter "Using the Arbitrary WaveformGenerator" in the R&S SMW user manual.

The file format of a sequence list is *.ps_seq.

About the Extended Sequencer in User Mode


14User Manual 1177.6269.02 ─ 13

The structure of a subsequence list is the same as in a sequence list. You can refer towaveform files, to further subsequences and to time lists, and thus implement nestedloops.

The file format of a subsequence list is *.ps_sub.

Segments of a multi-segment waveform used in the sequence or the subsequencesmust always refer to the same waveform file.

An entry in the sequence or subsequence list file can:● Refer to one specific segment of a multi-segment waveform.● Reference a subsequence file, for example to implement a loop.

A subsequence list is mapped with the tag <subsequence_flag>.● Include off time and repetition value pairs (waveform segment repetition interval),

defining the periods between the waveform segments and how many times a seg-ment is repeated.The repetition interval can be defined:– As a static value, i.e. a specified duration (off time) and repetition count.– In a time variation list file that is referenced, e.g. to implement different off time

variations between waveform segments, see Chapter 3.2.1.2, "Time List",on page 17.

● Provide the use of an entry marker (optional).

For details and programming examples, see "Programming examples of sequence andsubsequence lists" on page 15.

3.2.1.3 Attenuation over Time List

Attenuation over time lists simulate the time-dependent gain variation caused by,e.g., the antenna rotation or IPM level profiles. You can refer to an attenuation overtime list both for the transmitter and the receiver.

The file format is *.ps_att.

Attenuation over time list files:● Contain entries with duration and attenuation value pairs.● Provide optional entries to interpolate linearly between the attenuation values

entries.● Provide optional entries to synchronize the attenuation values to waveform seg-

ments.● Exist optionally once per transmitter and receiver.

The attenuation over time list files are not referenced in the sequence list. These filesare loaded separately and directly processed in the signal generation by theR&S SMW. The processing of the attenuation over time list is not coupled to sequenceelements, certain waveform segments or hopping over time lists. All lists start simulta-neously with the sequence list, i.e. at t=0.

<duration> Time span the attenuation value applies to. The attenuation over time startswith the simulation start time. The duration values in the attenuation list areindependent from off times defined for the waveform segment signal, and thetime spans defined in hopping over time lists.

Units: [s], ms, us

Note: If no unit is set, the value refers to the 200 MHz system clock, i.e.100 Clks = 500 ns. The time span must be at least 10 Clks = 50 ns.

<attenuation> Absolute level, in dB.

The value is applied for the time span: from the selected <duration> untilthe <duration> of the subsequent <entry>.

3.2.1.4 Hopping over Time List

The frequency hopping over time list determines the frequency signal variation of thefrequency variation of the waveform sequence. The file extension of a hopping overtime list is *.ps_hop.

Hopping over time lists:● Exist optionally once.● Provide optional entries to determine the phase behavior of the signal phase when

switching between the frequencies, see "Sequence phase mode" on page 21.● Provide optional to synchronize the frequency variation to pulses.

The hopping over time list file is not referenced in the sequence list. The file is loadedseparately and directly processed in the signal generation by the R&S SMW. The pro-cessing of the hopping over time list is not coupled to sequence elements of certainwaveform segments. All lists start simultaneously with the sequence list, i.e. at t=0.

For details and programming examples, see "Programming examples of hopping overtime lists" on page 23.

3.3 About the Extended Sequencer in Pulse SequencerMode

Option: see "Pulse sequencer mode options" on page 12.

In this mode, the R&S Pulse Sequencer is used as a graphical frontend for the simula-tion of complex signal scenarios. The software generates waveform files and sequenc-ing information in a Rohde & Schwarz proprietary format, that is played back by theR&S SMW.

If both, the R&S SMW and the R&S Pulse Sequencer are connected in a LAN, the soft-ware transmits the files automatically to the R&S SMW, starts signal generation andactivates signal output. See chapter "Playing the Generated Waveform Files" in theR&S Pulse Sequencer user manual for information in detail. Without LAN connection,you can provide the files via USB, or the standard methods for accessing the instru-ments file system.

3.5.3 PDW Examples

The following shows PDW examples for different real-time signals and the usage of awaveform index for playback of precalculated ARB files.

Real-time rectangular pulse

Signal characteristics:● 100us pulse width● 3 dB level offset● 1 MHz frequency offset● 45 degrees phase offset



34User Manual 1177.6269.02 ─ 13

Real-time chirp

Signal characteristics:● 100us pulse width● 500 MHz chirp deviation (-500 MHz to +500 MHz)● 0 dB level offset● 0 MHz frequency offset● 0 degrees phase offset

To generate a symmetrical chirp that goes from -500 MHz to +500 MHz, the FRQ valuehas to include an offset of -500 MHz. The +500 MHz gives 0x35555555. Since a nega-tive value is needed, a 2s complement method is applied to get a 0xCAAAAAAA forthe FRQ field.

To get the 64 bits FIncrementWord, the FreqStep value is calculated first. The numberof samples results in 2.4 GHz * 100 us pulse width = 240000. Therefore, the FreqStepis 4166.684 with a deviation of 500 MHz.

This results in a FIncrementWord of 32025730790735 or 0x1d20924eb54f.

3.5.4 Control PDWs

By setting the CTRL flag in the PDW flags structure, you can issue commands directlyfrom the PDW stream where otherwise a SCPI command would have been necessary.

Figure 3-10: CNTRL PDW structure

By embedding the control commands directly in the PDW stream, the start of the fre-quency or amplitude change procedure can be exactly determined by the TOA time-stamp. The new value will be set in after a muting time, which would not be possibleusing SCPI commands. For specification of the muting time, see the data sheet.

When issuing a control PDW, the R&S SMW drops PDWs which TOA falls in this mut-ing time. The R&S SMW will only execute the next incoming PDWs after the CNTRLPDW command has been executed.

Figure 3-11 illustrates a scenario when a CNTRL PDW command is sent. In this case,the PDW#3 is dropped as it was sent during the muting period.

3.5.5 PDW Processing

PDWs are streamed via an external LAN interface to control the real-time sequencer.

If the required options are installed, you can use the up to 2 wideband baseband gen-erators for PDW streaming. Each wideband baseband generator generates a base-band signal that can be modulated to an arbitrary RF frequency depending on theinstalled RF options. See Figure 3-9.

Each wideband baseband generator has an internal processing unit that can generateone signal at a time on a first come first serve rule. Hence, when the processing gener-ator is busy with generating a signal issued by a PDW, all PDWs which have a TOAthat overlaps with this processing time are dropped.

The TOA value of a following PDW has to be longer than the TOA of the current PDWplus its pulse length. Otherwise, the following PDW cannot be processed and is drop-ped. See Chapter 3.5.6, "PDW Timing", on page 38

You achieve an optimal streaming of PDWs signals by maintaining a flow control with-out overflowing the buffer or keeping the buffer empty during streaming. Observe theinformation displayed on the "Statistics" tab to fulfill this task.



38User Manual 1177.6269.02 ─ 13

3.5.6 PDW Timing

An internal relative counter is used to determine if the TOA for a certain PDW hasarrived.

This counter is set to 0, when a trigger event is received at one of the USER x connec-tors. See Chapter 4.10, "Local and Global Connector Settings", on page 83.

If you want to use an absolute timestamp, e.g. in GPS format, proceed as follows:

1. Use a trigger signal to the R&S SMW at a certain time tstart.

2. For each PDW, calculate the time difference of the TOA to the start trigger event asa relative offset.Convert the TOA time to 1/2.4E9 clock ticks to match the Rohde & Schwarz format.

The following illustrates an example of using a trigger signal to start a scenario.

Using a trigger signal to start the scenario

The time at the start of a scenario is known. At a specific time, a scenario start signal issent, which translates all PDWs into relative time offsets to that scenario start time.

1. In the R&S SMW, select "Trigger Mode > Armed Auto " before issuing the triggerpulse.Use the trigger pulse signal or the 1 pps from an IRIG system.If you use the 1 pps signal, arm the R&S SMW via a SCPI command before thenext 1 pps pulse starts the scenario.

2. Sent the trigger pulse to the R&S SMW.The R&S SMW execute the PDWs at a time offset indicates in the TOA after thetrigger pulse.

3.5.7 Addressing Precalculated Waveforms

If you want to address the precalculated waveform in the PDWs, you have to upload itto R&S SMW before the scenario start.



39User Manual 1177.6269.02 ─ 13

Each waveform in the list is assigned an ID which you can use inside the PDW to playback that waveform segment. See details of the payload in Chapter 3.5.2.4, "PDWPayload (17 bytes)", on page 30.

See also "Programming example to calculate number of waveforms in the list"on page 39 for the number of waveforms possible in the list.

All the waveforms in the list are resampled to a common clock rate. A waveform list iscreated and saved to the internal memory of the coder boards. After the waveform listis loaded, the R&S SMW is ready to receive PDWs with a segment index to select thewaveform for playback in the generator.

The interface is also remote controllable and can be configured using SCPI com-mands. See the list of remote commands in Chapter 5.6, "Real Time Control InterfaceCommands", on page 102.

Programming example to calculate number of waveforms in the list

The number of individual addressable waveforms depends on several constraints.

Signal characteristics:● R&S SMW RAM size depends on the installed options

With R&S SMW-K515, it is 2048 M/samples = 8192 Mbytes● Minimum addressable RAM granularity: 64 samples = 256 bytes● Bit width of the segment index inside PDW = 24 bits

The 24 bits segment index field theoretically allows 224 = 16,777,216 individualwaveforms.If the minimum waveform size of 64 samples is used, the RAM size allows a maxi-mum of 32,000,000 waveforms. However, since the addressable range of the seg-ment index is restricted to 24 bits, 16,777,216 individual is the limit.The following Matlab code can be used to calculate the number of waveforms:Assuming an average waveform length of 1024 samples, 2,000,000 individualwaveforms are possible.

3.6 About the Pulse-on-Pulse Simulation

Option: see "Pulse-on-pulse simulation options" on page 12.

This option allows you to generate the signals of up to 6 emitters simultaneously andoutput then at the two RF outputs. The signals can be then fed to the received individu-ally or combined via external combiner.

This mode of signal generation is known as pulse-on-pulse or co-pulse simulationand is available as extension of the extended sequencer functionality in R&S SMW.

Pulse-on-pulse simulation is the best choice, if your task is to test the radar behavior ina realistic multi-emitter scenario, where pulse dropping is not allowed.

You can feed up to 6 PDW signals or the signals of up to 6 emitters to the R&S SMW.In the R&S SMW, these signals are referred as sequencers and denoted as S1 to S6.Per default, two streams are configured (stream A and B) and three sequencers areassigned to each of them (S1 to S3 and S4 to S6). This mapping of sequencer to thestreams is performed automatically; the algorithm allocates as many sequencers aspossible for the current configuration. The sequencer signals mapped to the samestream are added.

The streams are routed to the outputs "RF A" and "RF B" but this routing can bechanged. If necessary, streams can be added equally weighted and routed to one ofthe outputs.

Trigger Settings Common to All BasebandsTo enable simultaneous signal generation in all basebands, the R&S SMW couples thetrigger settings in the available basebands in any instrument's configuration involvingsignal routing with signal addition. For example, in MIMO configuration, routing andsumming of basebands or of streams.

The icon indicates that common trigger settings are applied.

You can access and configure the common trigger source and trigger mode settings inany of the basebands. An arm or a restart trigger event applies to all basebands, too.You can still apply different delay to each of the triggers individually.

Trigger Mode ← Trigger Settings Common to All BasebandsSelects trigger mode, i.e. determines the effect of a trigger event on the signal genera-tion.

For more information, refer to chapter "Basics" in the R&S SMW user manual.

Sync. Output to External Trigger/Sync. Output to Trigger ← Trigger SettingsCommon to All BasebandsEnables signal output synchronous to the trigger event.● "On"

Corresponds to the default state of this parameter.The signal calculation starts simultaneously with the trigger event. Because of theprocessing time of the instrument, the first samples are cut off and no signal is out-put. After elapsing of the internal processing time, the output signal is synchronousto the trigger event.

● "Off"The signal output begins after elapsing of the processing time. Signal output startswith sample 0. The complete signal is output.This mode is recommended for triggering of short signal sequences. Short sequen-ces are sequences with signal duration comparable with the processing time of theinstrument.

In master-slave mode, this setting ensures that once achieved, synchronization is notlost if the baseband signal sampling rate changes.

5.1 Programming Examples

This section provides simple programming examples for the R&S SMW. The purposeof the examples is to present all commands for a given task. Real applications usuallyrequire only a subset of the commands shown.

The programming examples have been tested with a software tool which provides anenvironment for the development and execution of remote tests. To keep the examplesas simple as possible, only the "clean" SCPI syntax elements are reported. Non-exe-cutable command lines (for example comments) start with two // characters.

At the beginning of the most remote control programs, it is recommended that you per-form an instrument reset to set the R&S SMW to a defined state. The commands *RSTand SYSTem:PRESet are equivalent for this purpose. *CLS also resets the status reg-isters and clears the output buffer.

In the examples, it is assumed that:● A remote PC is connected to the instrument● The remote PC and the instrument are switched on● The connection between them is established● The security setting "System Config > Setup > Security > SCPI over LAN" is

enabled

5.6 Real Time Control Interface Commands

By default, the waveform files are saved in the default directory of the instrument, thatis the /var/user/ directory or the directory specified with the com-mand :MMEMory:CDIRectory. To access the waveform files in this default directory,only the file name is required, without the path and the file extension (*.wv).
