Interconnecting the Unidirectional MIMO (Baseband and IF) Modules

Complete the following steps to connect the modules of the unidirectional MIMO (baseband and IF) mmWave Transceiver System configuration.

  1. Connect one set of adjoining PXIe-3620 and PXIe-3630 modules in the RX chassis using four MMPX(m)-to-MMPX(m) cables.
    1. Connect the RX I+ connector of the PXIe-3620 front panel to the I+ connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel.
    2. Connect the RX I– connector of the PXIe-3620 front panel to the I– connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel.
    3. Connect the RX Q+ connector of the PXIe-3620 front panel to the Q+ connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel.
    4. Connect the RX Q– connector of the PXIe-3620 front panel to the Q– connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel.
  2. Connect the adjoining PXIe-3630 and PXIe-7902 modules in the RX chassis using four Mini-SAS HD(m)-to-Mini-SAS HD(m) (8.25 in.) cables.
    1. Connect the 0 connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel to the PORT 0 connector of the PXIe-7902 front panel.
    2. Connect the 1 connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel to the PORT 1 connector of the PXIe-7902 front panel.
    3. Connect the 2 connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel to the PORT 2 connector of the PXIe-7902 front panel.
    4. Connect the 3 connector of the PXIe-3630 front panel to the PORT 3 connector of the PXIe-7902 front panel.
