BER on IQ transmit and reception comparison - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi,

I would like to simply perform a BER setup when sending a Vector (I & Q) and compare its reception in I & Q.

I am using a VSG and an VSA. On the VSG I am generating a Matlab Vector onto RF and verify its reception on the VSA. I then collect the I&Q of this VSA and try to compare it.

Which approach should I take?, because currently I miss a lot of information.

Thanks for any hints

Y3G
