==== SB4 ==== [[TOC(Hardware, Hardware/bDomains, Hardware/bDomains/cSandboxes*, depth=6)]] As shown in Figure 1, sandbox 4 consists of 10 nodes and two LTE and two WiMAX basestations and corresponding BS controllers. To prevent interference, each node is housed in [http://www.ramseytest.com/ Ramsey Electronics RF enclosure] that provides 80 dB of isolation. Each of the 9 nodes is equipped with a pair of WiFi devices: one Atheros 5000X mini-PCI card and one Intel 6250 mini-PCIe 802.11/802.16. 4 nodes are also equipped with [wiki:Hardware/fDevices/cSDR/gUSRP#USRPB205 USRP B205mini-i] SDR devices. All of the antenna ports of in each node are connected to a power combiner and fed through the enclosure access port to the outside SMA connector which is wired to one of the input/output ports of the [http://www.jfwindustries.com/documents/50PMA-012_specsheet.pdf RF Transceiver Test System] from [http://www.jfwindustries.com JFW Industries]. This configuration enables fairly tight control of RF attenuation matrix between the nodes. Four of the RF test system ports are shared between nodes and basestations (node1-1 and node1-2 are sharing their port with LTE baestations while node1-8 and node1-9 are sharing their ports with WiMAX basestations). The topology (including pairwise attenuation between ports and selection switches for node/basestation) is controlled through the [http://omf.mytestbed.net OMF] based [wiki:/Software/eAM/mInstr Instrumentation AM]. || [[Image(SB4.png, 700px, align=center)]] || [[Image(IMG_0376.jpg, 200px)]] || As can be seen in figure 1, there are a total of nine (9) input/output ports on the transceiver test system. The first 7 input/output ports are connected to nodes 1 thru 7, respectively while the 8th and 9th input/output ports are connect to either nodes 1-8 and 19 or the two Wimax base stations (BS1 and BS2). The selection of devices attached to ports 8 and 9 is controlled by the ''selDevice'' command of the [wiki:/Software/eAM/mInstr Instrumentation AM] service. || RF Test System Port || Attached device || || 1 || node1-1 || || 2 || node1-2 || || 3 || node1-3 || || 4 || node1-4 || || 5 || node1-5 || || 6 || node1-6 || || 7 || node1-7 || || 8 || node1-8 or wimax BS1 || || 9 || node1-9 or wimax BS2 || This configuration creates two distinct set of RF paths that are used to create various topologies. ===== Node to Node RF Path ===== s12 parameters taken with Agilent ENA RF Network Analyzer E5070; instrument dynamic range of 110 dB limits the accuracy of large attenuation results.
