Software installation requirements
The following software is required and should have been installed or preinstalled
in the M9537A controller.
– M8195A Soft Front Panel (SFP) is required for manual or programmatic
– Keysight Connection Expert, which is preinstalled with the IO Libraries suite.
– IQTools is used to create the FMCW signal required for automotive radar and
Installing standalone version of IQTools
IQTools is a free MATLAB application suitable for use with the M8195A AWG and
other Keysight AWGs. It is capable of synthesizing and generating many types of
waveforms, some which are not available in the M8915A SFP. It also contains
many example applications.
We will use IQTools to calibrate the system and create radar FMCW signals. The
Signal Generation Radar Assistant is also an example application in IQTools. If
you have purchased the M8195A with the N6171A MATLAB license option, you
will receive access to the modifiable version of IQTools. Keysight has also made a

range of the N9029s' IF input port.
Terminate the unused complement Data Out port with a 50-ohm termination.
Connect the RF output from the N5183B to the LO input of the upconverter
