h1. Lab Setup
All measurements were performed Equipment used in Telecom Bretagne's satellite communication labs in Toulouse. Our setup consisted of a main rack containing principal hardware and several control PCs. The first contains the DVB-S2 modems, a R&S signal analyzer, a networking switch and lab are the link emulation hardware. Here's a diagram describing the setup as well as connections. following:

*Measurement equipment:*
+1 1 x Rhode & Schwartz FSV3 Signal and Spectrum Analyzer+
*Networking:*
+1 x CISCO *CISCO 2811 Switch*
1 x Newtec EL470 DVB-S2 HUB modem *NI PXIe-1078 Chassis*
1 x Newtec EL470 DVB-S2 Station modem+
*Link Emulation:*
+1 x >The NI PXIe-1078 Chassis+
_The NI PXIe-1078 nine-slot chassis features a backplane that incorporates a PCI Express connection to every slot to meet a wide range of test and measurement application needs. >needs. It accepts PXI Express modules in every slot and supports standard PXI hybrid-compatible modules. modules in up to five slots. The chassis includes built-in timing and synchronization >synchronization features including 10 and 100 MHz reference clocks as well as a the PXI trigger bus._
+2 bus. (If you need a system timing slot, consider the NI PXIe-1082 eight-slot chassis.)
2 x *NI PXIe-5644R* VSTs
>The NI PXIe-5644R VSTs+
_The NI PXIe-5644R vector signal transceivers (VSTs) are part of a new class of instrumentation that combines a vector signal generator and vector signal analyzer with FPGA-based real-time signal processing and control. Because of this software-designed approach, a VST features the flexibility of a software defined radio architecture with RF instrument class performance._
+1 performance.
1 x NI PXIe-8360 *NI PXIe-8360* PXIe Controller+ Controller
_PCI Express card installed on laboratory PC They are arranged according to communicate with VSTs._
*Lab PCs:* the diagram below.
_+PC1+ - Remote managing of Newtec modems.
+PC2+ - Data source for HUB modem, connects directly to HUB's ethernet interface A through a twisted pair cable.
+PC3+ - Data source for Station modem, connects directly to Stations's ethernet interface Aa twisted pair cable.
+PC4+ - Channel emulator controller, handles processing of VST acquired signals._ !{width: 90%}FullSetup.png!
