7 Minor issue for DCI when DMRS Alternative Table is used The OCC sequence is wrong if the case of single AP transmission The OCC sequence is wrong if the DMRS alternative table is activated When Puncturing is switched on, LTE CRS signals are erroneously punctured in the NB-IoT Inband Mode The mapping of CRS is not correct in case of PBCH repetitions The precoding of the PDCCH region in case of a partial starting subframe is wrong The range of the field "HARQ Process number" in DCI Format 6-1A is wrong Changing the filter settings does not affect the signal in some cases Test Case Wizard The carrier power is wrong in Test Case Wizard (8.3.1, 8.3.7, 8.3.8) Uplink GUI issue for emtc start subframe Issue for slot numbers for FRCs for NB-IoT Minor issue in GUI The mapping of SRS is wrong when 4 SRS Combs are configured The power leveling is wrong in case of longer UpPTS for SRS UE Burst RMS Power doesn't work for PUCCH F4 and F GNSS Incorrect AWGN C/N in some cases Unwanted pseudo-range systematic bias of up to 2 meters is now removed The speed limit of 600 m/s for the B10 boards is now corrected. The issue lead to limiting the speed to 300 m/s instead Misalignment between RF signals, Trigger and Marker are now removed A channel budget issue when more than 24 channels are used and a new SV rises is solved. The error 'Value out of Range' upon first changing of the ref. power while the simulation is running is now fixed. The error Navigation Data FIFO underrun happening in certain configurations is now solved. Importing BeiDou, Galileo and GLONASS Alamanac files now disables not present SVs. This worked well previously only for GPS. fixed issues that happened while the simulation is running then changing the number of Baseband sources in advanced GNSS (K120), in the output stream dialog, Corrected wrong units in the orbit parameter display: Radian vs. Semicircles Radar Echo Generation Remote Connection to R&S-FSW via USB in External RF and I/Q Dialog not always working correctly K503 Realtime Ctrl. I/F Waveform list sometimes empty Release Notes

8 Known Issues ARB Waveforms are limited to 512MSamples Bugfix for pulse generator external gated mode In some rare cases while compensating frequency responses with high dynamic ranges ( > 15 db) and using ALC setting Sample & Hold, the absolute level compensation may have an additional level error. K19: HS DIG I/Q (40G/50G) connection via connector BBMM2 is instable in System Config Mode Standard and Advanced Wideband baseband: corrupted output of binary control lists at sequence end in some cases Wideband SMW, GSM: level at slot 8 for levatt 7 value is wrong Fading: The geometry-based SCM model is not emulating the channel properly OneWeb OneWeb Reference Signals, Querying the available reference signals by means of SCPI does not work EUTRA/LTE Test Case Wizard Uplink The Autofill feature for PDSCH scheduling mode Auto Sequence is not available for TDD duplexing mode. Improved On/Off ratio for TDD is not supported in combination with Best ACP or Auto filter optimization types Time plan windowing is not working correctly for emtc/nb-iot Home BS test cases ( , 6.2.7, 6.2.8) are not available in the test case wizard Test Case 8.2.1A is not available in the test case wizard NB-IoT and emtc data sources do not restart every transmission bundle even if restart data flag is not set. Real-time feedback is not supported for uplink MIMO and uplink carrier aggregation GNSS Carrier phase is not simulated correctly. Code phase is working properly. SBAS Generate Correction Data Automatically does not correctly sync with the simulated ionosphere and GPS orbit/clock errors leading to an error of few meters in the position calculated by the receiver when using the SBAS correction service. Instead the Replay Historical Data and Sync Atmosphere & SV errors can be used at the moment. HiL instabilities with system latency higher than 30 ms. Moreover this issue only exists when the streaming rates are slower than 50Hz. SV relative power offset might lead to an increased noise component in the signal spectrum when more than one baseband sources are combined for the given GNSS stream. It is recommended to use 1 baseband source per GNSS stream for sensitivity testing. in Re-trigger modes turning ON a SV on-the-fly followed by a trigger will lead to an inconsistent signal from that SV. The body mask and antenna pattern editors have assume a flipped direction of the z-axis Inconsistencies in the navigation data might cause some GNSS receivers to invalidate the signal of certain SVs for few seconds. Unwanted behavior when changing the start simulation time after importing constellation files (YUMA, RINEX, AGL etc.). It is recommended to change the time first if an import is needed Release Notes

9 Importing GLONASS Rinex does not synchronize Almanac data. It is recommended to work with AGL files Unwanted behavior when importing RINEX files for BeiDou, QZSS and GLONASS. It is recommended to work with YUMA and AGL formats instead Radar Echo Generation After changes on analyzer, latency is not reduced to minimum. Workaround: turn BB Input off and on again For 24 Moving Objects with different velocity after some minutes DSP- Error 0x8004 is observed For 2xK78 and addition of both streams in Stream Mapper: automatic level calculation not working correctly in all cases For Moving Object with Start-Range > End-Range, Level might be clipped. Workaround: turn object off and on again For signal routing BBin to REG A+B and Stream A mapped to RF B in Stream Mapper, signal generation not working in all cases For signal routing to both REGs and addition in Stream Mapper, Automatic System Latency measurement not working in all cases K503 Realtime Ctrl. I/F K503 Realtime Ctrl. I/F: Automatically applied Trigger Mode settings in Multi Instrument mode across basebands might be inconsistent K503 Realtime Ctrl. I/F: Marker of first pulse is sometimes missing K503 Realtime Ctrl. I/F: PDW Streaming before triggering causes loss of PDWs Release Notes

62 Firmware Update 3 Firmware Update 3.1 Downgrade ly it is not recommended to use an earlier version than the latest version available. In some cases the older versions do not support the hardware used in your instrument. Before installing this firmware, check if this could happen: Start System Config / Setup / Instrument Assembly / Software/Options In the tab Firmware, you find the If the version to be installed is greater or equal than the Min.Version, the hardware will be supported after downgrading. (However, this cannot be guaranteed for all software options) If the version to be installed is lesser than the Min.Version, not all of the modules will be supported. You instrument will not work after downgrading! Downgrading may fail using standard rsu-files (eg. due to changes in the instrument configuration file). In this case, press PRESET-Button during power-on or install ISO image available from service department. 3.2 Update Information The update procedure requires that the instrument is operational. There is no need to uninstall the current firmware. Instrument settings are preserved during the update, including user data and network settings. Release Notes
