Access Probe Power Measurement Description

How is an Access Probe Power measurement made?

The access probe power measurement is a channel power measurement (see “Channel Power Measurement

Description” ) triggered by a rise in RF power detected on the test set’s RF input. The pow er threshold is

approximately -55 dBm/BW. Access probe sequences are transmitte d by the mobile station during registrations or mobile station originated

calls. Access prob e sequences con si st of a series of RF po w e r “steps” which increase in power according to the step size setting until the maximum number of steps is reached or the call processing event completes, for example when the call connects.

When the test set is making access probe power measurements in the continuous trigger arm state, it will display the power level of the most recent access probe power measurement.

Considerations when making Access Probe Power measurements

IMPORTANT Access probe power measurements must not be left in Continuous Trigger Ar m mode. Attempt ing

any other measurements while in this state will result in 4 dashes (----) .

The access probe measurement setup menu provides control over the following access probe parameters:

• Number of Steps in the access probe sequence (NUM_STEP in the standards).

• Power Step (PWR_S TEP in the standards). This parameter specifies the step increase in transmit power

between each access probe within an access probe sequence.

• Maximum Request Sequence (MAX_REQ_SEQ in the standards). This parameter specifies the maximum number of acce ss probe sequence s fo r an ac c e ss ch a n n el request.

Changing the number of steps and s tep s ize wil l affec t the p ower l evel disp la yed if more t han on e acces s prob e is transmitted by the mobile station. However, the number of access probes transmitted depends on whether or not the test set responds by acknowledging the access request, thereby ending the access attempt. To prevent the test set from responding to the access probe request, turn the Call Limit Mode feature On (key F10 in Call Parms , 2 of 3 screen). For the GPIB command syntax, see “CALL:CONNected:LIMit[:STATe]” .

To measur e o nly the f irst acc ess p robe and p revent t riggering on subs eque nt acces s p robes, set Trigger Arm in the Access Probe P ower Setup menu to Single and press the START SINGLE hardkey.

When the mobile station performs any type of registration, an access probe power measurement will likely be triggered. Registrations can occur on mobile sta tion power-up, which is a function of the mobi le station’s programming. Registrations may be requested by the test set at pre-determined time intervals, which will periodically cause the access pro be power measurement to update . To control timer based registrations , access the Registration Parameters menu (see “C. Set registration parameters.” ). For GPIB syntax information on timer-based registrations, see “CALL:REGister” .

Access Probe Power Measurement Description

Input Signal Requirements

See “Input Signal Requirements”

Analog Transmit Power Measurement Description

How is an Analog Transmit Power measurement made?

Analog Transmit Power measures the mean power from the mobile at the test set’s RF IN/OUT port when transmitting an analog carrier. The test set correctly measures the level with or without frequency modula tion (FM) present to make AMPS power measurements. Tests can be made with the mobile in the analog test mode or when connected on an active voice channel. See IS-137A, section 3.2.1.1, Analog RF Power.

The trigger source for this measurement i s always immediate.

Input Signal Requirements

The Analog Transmit Power measurement meets or exceeds specifications when the following requirements are met:

• The frequency of the signal being measured must be in the range of 800 MHz to 960 MHz or 1.7 GHz to

2.0 GHz, and within 100 kHz of the expected frequency.

• The signal level into the test set’s RF IN/OUT connector must be in the range of - 25 dBm to +43 dBm peak, and within 3 dBm of the expected input power to meet specifications. Results are provided for signals within +5 dB to -10 dB of the expected power, but performance is not warranted.

See “Active Cell Operating Mode” on page 90, and “Receiver Control” on page 213 for information on setting the expected input frequency and power level.

Considerations When Making Manual Analog Transmit Power Measurements

When manually controlling the test set from the front panel, all measurement s def ault to using continuous triggering. If you make digital measurements on a DTC using RF Rise or Protocol triggering, and then hand off to an AVC and select an analog measurement, the analog measurement may not trigger and display a result. This is because the digital measurement is still waiting for a burst transmission to trigger it (which it won’t get from an analog signal) and therefore the measurements “freeze”. To prevent this from happening when making analog measurements, either turn off the digital measurements or set their tri gger source to Immediate.

Audio Analyzer Measurement Description

How is an analog audio measurement made?

The Audio Analyzer can measure Audio Level (V), SINAD (dB), Distortion (%), and Audio Frequency. Measurements are made through the test set’s front panel AUDIO IN connectors. When measuring a mobile’s audio output, the audio signal may come from either an acoustic coupler or from a test interface connection to the mobile’s audio circuitry.

See “Audio Analyzer Block Diagram” on page 43. The AUDIO IN connectors feed the inputs to a floating-input differential amplifier, with each input having an

impedance of about 100,000 ohms to c hass is ground. For best noise immunity, connect the audio signal and its ground reference to the two input ports throug h shielded coaxial cables, or input the signal to the AUDIO IN HI connector and ground the AUDIO IN LO connector’s center contact.

None of the analog audio measurement results are affected by the Amplitude Offset setting.

SINAD/Distortion State

Select On or Off to enable or disable the SINAD and Distorti on measure ments. When On, these measurement results are displayed belo w the Audio Level measurement and the SINAD/Distortio n Fundamental F requency must be entered to specify the audio fre quency for t he measurement (range: 100 Hz to 10 kHz). Whe n Off , four dashes are displayed in place of the measurement results.

Audio Frequency State

Select On or Off to enable or disable the Audio Frequency measurement.

Filt er Type

• None - no filtering is provided (default).

Audio Level Measurement Description

How is an Audio Level measurement made?

Audio Level measures the AC voltage of the si gnal applied to t he front-panel AUDIO IN connectors, and is one of the Audio Analyzer measurements. Audio Level can be measur ed for signals in the frequency range of 100 Hz to 20 kHz, at l evels from 1 mV

to 20V

and can be made using an rms or peak detector. The type of detector being used for the measurement is displayed next to th e measurement value.

When measuring very low voltages, it may be helpful to use the Audio Analyzer’s adjustable bandpass filter and the rms detector to reduce noi se components.

Channel Power Measurement Description

How is a Channel Power measurement made?

Channel power measurements are made by analyzing a digitized version of the input signal’s downconverted IF using the test set’s DSP (see “Block Diagram” ). Triggering occurs on the test set’s internal 20 ms frame clock. The measurement is cross-calibrated with the detected average power to determine the absolute power level.

Channel power measurements are limited to a 1.23 MHz bandwidth, and can be made on either power-gated or non-power-gated input signals.

Channel Power Measurement Calibration

Channel power measurements are calibrated using the “CALibration:CPOWer?” command. Refer to

“CALibration Subsystem” for a description of channel power calibration.

Channel Power Measurement Speed

There are two channel power measurement speeds, fast and normal. See “SETup:CPOWer:MSPeed” for GPIB command syntax.

Normal channel power measurements, like average power measurements, analyze a 10 millisecond sample of the input signal, which is one-half of a CDMA frame. Since there is always at least one “on” power control group in each half-frame the test set is able to “search” for and measure power during at leas t one “on” period . Therefore, normal channel power measurements can be made when the mobile station is transmitting less than full data rate, or is in one of the echo service options (mobile station is gating its output power according to speech act i vi ty ).

Fast channel power measurements do not perform the search for “on” power control groups. Fast channel power measurements only sample the input signal for 1.25 milliseconds, and are applicable only when the input signal power is not power-gated. An example of a condition which would result in the mobile station transmitting a non power-gated signal would be when the mobile station is in a loopback service option (on a call or not) and is transmitting full-rate data.

Input Signal Requirements

The channel power measurement meets or exceeds specifications when the following input signal requirem en ts are met:

• The frequency of the signal being measured must be within the range of 412 MHz to 483 MHz, 800 MHz to 960 MHz, or 1.7 GHz to 2.0 GHz, and be within 100 kHz of the expected frequency.

• The average power level of the signal at the RF IN/OUT connector must be between -61 dBm to +37 dBm. The test set can autorange to a signal that is bet we en +8 dBm to -20 dBm of the exp ected level (see

“RFANalyzer:AUTO:POWer[:SELected]?” ).

Code Channel Timing and Phase Measurement Description

How is a Code Channel Timing and Phase measurement made?

This measurement is designed to analyze signals that contain a rever se pilot channel. A call must be connected with one of the following radio configurations selected:

• Fwd3, Rvs3

• Fwd4, Rvs3

• Fwd 5, Rvs4

Each code channel timing and phase measurement tests the time and phase alignment of each code channel relative to the reverse channel pilot signal. The time erro r returns any offset, in nanoseconds, that is detected between the coding of each Walsh channel and the reverse channel pilot. The phas e error measurement determines whether there is any phas e difference , as sh own in Figure 1., that would cause a rotation in the I/Q constellation away from the decision points.

Figure 1. I/Q Constellation Showing Phase Error

Code channel time/phase error measurements are made by sampling the down- converted input signal, then applying DSP (Digital Signal Processing) techniq ues to determine the original data input to the mobile station transmitter’s Walsh spreading function for each channel. The DSP then generates a representation of what the “ideal” signal would be given the coding and data in use at the time of transmi ssion. The ide al wa veform is then compared with the wavef orm being measured to determine code channel time error and phase error.

A Code Channel Time/Phase Error display is shown below.

Code Channel Timing and Phase Measurement Description

Code Channel Time/PhaseMeasurement Graphical Display

The Code Channel measurement displa ys up to 16 bins1 of timing error information and 16 bins of phase e rror information. Each bin represents one active code channel.

The IS-2000 system achieves high data rates by combining multiple code channels. To facilitate the display of high data rate channels in contiguous blocks, the Walsh code sequence along the graph’s x-axis is displayed in “bit reversed” order. See Table 3. “Walsh Numbering on Code Channel Timing and Phase Graphs”

The code channel sequence along the graph’s x-axis is displayed in “bit reve r s e d” order. See Table 3. “Walsh

Numbering on Code Channel Timing and Phase Graphs”

The timing and phase graphs, because of the bit-reversed order, can display channels with a spreading factor less than 16, such as the R-SCH (Reverse Supplemental CHannel), using one bin.

For example, Figure 3. shows four active code channels displa yed in four bins . In b in four, Walsh code cha nnels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 1 1, 13, and 15 are a ll i ncl uded in a single c hannel. If t he Walsh numbering on the test set’s dis pla y were sequential, the this channel would have to be displayed as eight bars, each separated by one Walsh code.

1. Bins are the bars that appear on the graph. When high data rate channels such as the F-SCH channel are transmitted from the

mobile station, wider bins are displayed. The wider bins represent code channels that occupy multiple orthogonal channels.

An example of bit reversal is shown in Figure 4. Bin 13 has a binary coded decimal value of 1101. If you reverse that sequence, the result is 1011. When 1011 is converted back to a decimal value, the result is Walsh code 11.

Measurement Behavior

Bin 0 corresponds with Walsh will always return zero for Time Error zero and phase error because all other measurments are relative to the pilot channel, which is located at Walsh 0, bin 0.

Input Signal Requirements

The Code Channel Timing and Phase measurement meets or exceeds specifications when the following requirem en ts are met:

• The frequency of the signal being measured must be in the range of 412 MHz to 483 MHz, 800 MHz to 960 MHz, or 1.7 GHz to 2.0 GHz, and within 100 kHz of the expected frequency.

• The signal level into the test set’s RF IN/OUT connector must be in the range of -25 dBm to +37 dBm, and within 9 dBm of the expected input power (see “RFANalyzer:AUTO:POWer[:SELected]?” ) to meet specifications.

Digital Average Power Measurement Description

How is a Digital Average Power measurement made?

Digital average power measurements are broadband power measurements made on the RF input before frequency downconversion (see “Block Diagram” ). Digital average power measurements return the true rms power level of the input signal. Triggering is handled by internal mechanisms and autoranging is us ed. No external triggering is available.

The input waveform is det ected by a peak detector with sufficient AM bandwidth to track the instan taneous power changes of a CDMA signal. Each measurement is made by analyzing a 10 milliseco nd period (one-h alf of a frame) of the detected waveform.

The test set’s digital signal processo r (DSP) determines the true rms value of the si g n al. If the input signal is power-gated, only the active power control groups will be measuremed.

This measurement uses autor anging based on the open loop p ower control resp onse of the mobile station t o set up the receiver signal path attenuation.

Digital Average Power measurement characteristics

The digital average power measurement has greater than 2 GHZ bandwidth. For this reason, significant signal energy outside the IS-2000 SR1 (1.25 MHz) signal bandwidth will incre ase the measured value.

This measurement can be made on signals that are power-gated or signals that are not power-gated. It is not necessary to specify whether the input signal is power-gated.

Input Signal Requirements

The digital average power measurement meets or exceeds specifications when the following requirements are met:

• The frequency of the signal being measured must be in the range of 412 MHz to 483 MHz, 800 MHz to 960 MHz, or 1.7 GHz to 2.0 GHz.

• The signal level into the test set’s RF IN/OUT connector must be between +37 dBm and -30 dBm. The test set can autorange to a signal that is between +8 dBm to -20 dBm of the expected level (see

“RFANalyzer:AUTO:POWer[:SELected]?” ).

Distortion Measurement Description

How is a Distortion measurement made?

Distortion is an audio quality measurement that compare s the audio signal level fro m the mobile at a specifi ed (desired) frequency to the level of signals present at other frequencies. The audio signals from the mobile are typically demodulated tones sent over an analog voice channel (AVC).

The test set makes two measurements to determine distortion. First, the test set meas ures the total audio signal level into the Audio Analyzer. Next, a precise notch filter is then used to remove the signal at the specified frequency. The remaining signal level indicates the level of unwanted signals (distortion). Distortion is expressed as a percentage of the total audio signal.

Distortion can be measured in the range of 100 Hz to 10 kHz. F or infor mation on using the Audio Analyzer, see

“Audio Analyzer Measurement Description” on page 40.

The distortion measurement can be us ed to perf orm the audi o harmonic di st orti on test. In this tes t, tw o audio signals are used: a 1004 Hz tone and the 6000 Hz SAT. The 1004 Hz tone is notched out to make the measurement. See IS-137A, section 2.2.2.5 for more information.

Considerations When Making Manual Distortion Measurements

Frame Error Rate Measurement Description

How is an FER (frame error rate) measurement made?

FER measurements are used to test the performance of a mob ile station receiver. During each FER measurement the test set sends a sequence of bits to the mobile station and the mobile

station attempts to demodulate and re-transmit the same bits back to the test set. The test set keeps a running count of the measured frames and the number of frames that contained bit errors.

A call must be connected with a loopback service option selected (see “CALL[:CELL]:SOPTION” ) to perform frame error rate measurements.

Intermediate measurement results are periodically available on the front panel display, but are not available programmatically through the GPIB interface.

Confidence Level Description

Confidence level testing is a feature of FER measurements that applies s tatistical analysis to FER measurements so that pass/fail test re su l t s ca n be ob tained in the sh or test possibl e ti me. When confid e n ce level is on, the FER measurement will keep track of the number of frames measured, the number of frame errors, and perform a statistical analysis of the probability that the value entered in the FER requirement field will (or will not) be exceeded.

The confidence level parameter is typically set at 95 p ercent. Each FER measurem ent will return a P ass result before the maximum frame count is reached if statistically there is a 95 percent probability that the percentage of frame errors would not exceed the FER requirement value if the measureme nt were allowed to reach the maximum frame count. The FER measurement will return a Fail result before the maximum frame count is reached if statistically there is a 95 percent probability that the percentage of frame errors counted would exceed the FER requirement if the measurement were allowed to reach the maximum frame count. If confidence level is off, or the number of frame errors counted did not result in a pass or a fail result, max frames will be returned and the measurement result will be the FER percentage.

Several hundred frames of data must be measured before confidence limit checking can begin. A speed-up feature, which is always active, allows the test s et to end an FER measurement before reaching the minimum number of frames required to apply confidence limit chec k ing. The speed-up feature calculates a maximum value of frame errors allowed before confidence limit c hecking begins, and ends the FER measurement with a fail indication if this limit is exceeded.

Input Signal Requirements

The FER measurement meets or exceeds specifications when the following requirements are met:

• The frequency of the signal being measured must be in the range of 412 MHz to 483 MHz, 800 MHz to 960 MHz, or 1.7 GHz to 2.0 GHz, and within 100 kHz of the expected frequency.

Frame Error Rate Measurement Description

Frequency Modulation (FM) Measurement Description

How is a frequency modulation measurement made?

The Analog Frequency Modulation measurement measures the frequency deviation and, if enabled, the total harmonic distortion and modulation frequency, for frequency modulated analog signals (such as AMPS transmitters). Measurements are performed after any filtering, de-emphasis, and expansion are performed (selected by the user in the setup parame ters).

The distortion value is not returned if the Distortion State is set to OFF. The modulation frequency value is not returned if the Modulation Frequency State is set to OFF.

The FM deviation and distortion measurements are not affec ted by a static (constant) frequency error on the input signal as long as the input signal is within 2.5 kHz of the expected frequency.

This measurement is not used for digital signals . Refer to IS-137, 3.3.1, for more information on measuring analog modulation characteristics.

Triggering

Triggering is always immed iate for this measurement. Trigger Delay and other trigger sources are not use d.

Considerations When Making Manual FM Measurements

Distortion State and Distortion Fundamental Frequency Operation

The Distortion Fundamental Frequency value specifi es the demod ulated audio freq uency to use when making a distortion measurement, and must be entered to make a valid measurement. However, specifying the fundamental frequency does not affect the measur ement state. The Distortion State must be turned On

separately to make the measurement.

Modulation Frequency State

The modulation frequency measurement is enabled and disabled using the Mod Freq State setting. The modulation frequency measurement is made after any filtering is applied, and can be used to make measurements such as SAT frequency.

S:\Hp8960\E1962B CDMA 2000\3.2 Release\Reference Guide\Chapters\cdma2000_meas_fm_desc.fm

Frequency Modulation (FM) Measurement Description

Filter Type

The following filters are available to make measurements on the demodulat ed FM (baseband) signal.

• None - no filtering is provided (default).

• 100 Hz BW Band Pass Filter (Tunable) - The 100 Hz BW BPF Center Frequency setting is available when

this filter is selected, and can be set in the range of 300 Hz to 15 kHz.

• C-Message

• 50 Hz to 15 kHz

• 300 Hz to 15 kHz

Detector Type

Select the type of detector to use when making FM deviation measurements: RMS, Peak+, Peak-. The Peak+ and Peak- det ect ors me asure th e gre atest po sit ive o r n egative fr equenc y excur sion i n carrie r f req uency during the sample. The RMS detector measures the root mean squared value. This setting does not affect the distortion measurement.

De-emphasis State

Select On or Off to enable or disable (respectively) 750 µs de-emphasis.

Expandor State

Select On to compensate for signal compression on the mobile’s transmitted signal.

Frequency Stability Measurement Description

How is a frequency stability measurement made?

The Frequency Stability measurement measures the transmitter frequency and frequency error of analog signals (including AMPS) with a 1 Hz resolution. Frequency Error is determined by comparing the frequency of the measured signal to the expected frequency. These parameters are determined by the receiver control settings (see “Manual Receiver Control Parameters” on page 213).

Operating Considerations

This measurement is performed with the test set’s CW operating mode (see “CALL[:CELL]:OPERating” ). This measurement is not used for digital signals . For the bes t accuracy, connect the timebas e of the sig nal so urce with t he test set’s timebase. See “10 MHZ REF

IN” on page 713 and “10 MHZ REF OUT” on page 713.

Input Signal Requirements

The received signal’s freque ncy must be within the interval 293 MHz to 2.7 GHz and be within 200 kHz of the expected frequency. See “Measurement receiver frequency” on page 214.

The power level of the signal source must be between -30 to +43 dBM and be within 3 dB of the expe cted power. See “CW receiver power” on page 213.

If the received signal has FM, the modulation index must be no greater than three and the modulation frequency must be between 100 Hz and 15 kHz.

Worst Case Frequency Error

Frequency and Frequency Error measurement results are returned over GPIB in units of Hz. Worst Case Frequency Error, the greatest error measured during the total sample( s), is retu rned in units of ppm (parts pe r million). Worst Case Frequency error is only displayed on the test set’s display when multi-measurements are used, but is always available via GPIB (regardless of the multi-measurement state).

Triggering

Triggering is always immed iate for this measurement. Trigger Delay and other trigger sources are not use d.

Gated Power Measurement Description

What is a Gated Power Measurement?

Gated power measurements provide a graphical representation of the time response of the mobile station average transmitter power during periods when the power is gated on. During power gated transmission, power from the mobile station is deliv ered in burs ts. A measurement mask delineates the boundaries th at the signal’s amplitude trace must conform to.

Four views of the power versus time graph are available after the test set analyzes measurement data. The resolution of the traces has been designed to provid e detail at the most critical points in the trace. There are four views available:

• Rise

• Fall

• Full

• Zoomed

The Rise (part of Rise/Fall) trace details the rising edge of the burst, from -15 uS to +10 uS relative to the beginning of the burst. The beginning of the burst corresponds with the gated-on power control group clock

edge The F all (part of Rise/Fall) trace details the falling edge of the burst, from 1237 to 1262 uS after th e beginning

of the burst. The Full (part of Full/Zoomed) trace encompas ses t he enti re burst with decr eased re sol ution. This trace spans

the time perio d from -15 uS to 1 26 2 u S re l a tive the the beg i n n i n g of th e b u rst. The Zoomed (part of Full/Zoomed) trace details the area highlighte d by a vertical bar displayed on the Full

trace. This vertical bar can be positioned in any one of 14 locations alo ng the entire length of the zoomed burst. (The extreme left and right vertical bar positions encompass the Rise/Fall time periods.)

A marker displaying the power level (from +10 to -45 dB) at each time increment is provided for all traces except for Full. If a gated power measurement fails , the marker will be automatically positioned at the first fail point.

A measurement progress report, showing the number of mea sur eme n ts in a multi-measurement, is displayed on the test set’s screen in an “n/m” format. The number of measurements completed, n, increases from zero to the total number of measurements which need to be made, m.

1. Traffic channel frames are subdivided into 16 1.25 mS segmen ts, called power control groups . When the traffic data rate is set to half, quarter, or eighth, the mobile station transmits only during randomly se lected powe r co n trol groups. These are referred to as “gated-on” power control groups.

Gated Power Measurement Description

How is a Gated Power Measurement Made?

Each gated power measurement is triggered internally by the test set. During the gated power measurement, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) samples the signal and returns 5,625 amplitude versus time data points. Data points return power levels, relative to the average power during the mid dle of the burs t, that co rre spond with time intervals before, during, and after the burst.

The gated power measurement analyzes the rising and falling edges of the burst to determine where the -3 dB points are. Using the -3 d B points t o det ermine t he center of t he burst, the test s et posi tions the measur ement mask (green lines on the display) to align in time with the center of the burst.

Since the middle portion of the burst is compres sed in time, the scaling is different when compared to the rising or falling portions. The following formulas can be used to calculate the time associated with each data point from 0 to 5,264 as returned by the “FETCh:GPOWer:TRACe?” command:

Equation 1. Time Association For Data Points 0 through 370

Gated Power Measurement Description

On the test set’s display, data points are graphed as follows:

• For the rising trace, data points 0 through 370 (the first 371) are displayed with each data point occupying

one display pixel.

• For the falling trace, data points 4894 through 5264 (the last 371) are displayed with each data point occupying one display pixel .

• For th e Full/Zoomed tr ace sp anning t he entir e 1277 uS measureme nt peri od, a veragi ng over groups of data points will be performed to include all 5,264 data points using the display’s 371 pixels.

• For the Full/Zo omed tr ace that zoo ms in on the area highlighted by the ver tical bar, the correlation between data points an d pi xe l s is as follows:

— For the first or last zoomed segment the correlation between data points and display pixels will be

identical to the Rise/Fall traces, with the first or last 371 data points displayed on 371 pixels.

— For all of the middle 12 zoomed segments, the time period (when compared with rise/ fall graphs) will be

compressed in time. Each data point will span a time period four times longer than the rise/fall data points. This will result in about one fourth the dis play resolution when compared with the rise/fall traces.

Gated Power Measurement Description

Gated Power Measurement Behavior

Gated Power measurem ents can not be made concurrently with any other measurement, and no other measurement can be made while a gated power measurement is in progress.

The pass/fail result indicates whether or not the trace conformed to the mask. To make the test run faster, reduce the number of averages (multi-measurement count). The default is 100. Most failures occur during the rising or falling portions of the burst. Gated power measurements are exp ressed in dB, relative to the average of the power lev els across th e number

of 1.25 mS burst specified in the multi-measurement count.

Measurement Requirements

Setup:

The following settings are required for the gated power measurement:

• Operating Mode must be Active Cell

• System Type must be IS-95 or IS-2000 with Radio Config set to (Fwd1, Rvs1) or (Fwd2, Rvs2)

• FCH Service Option Setup must be set to SO2 or SO9 (loopback service opt ion)

• Traffic Data Rate must be set to Eighth.

Input Signal:

The gated power measurement meets or exceeds specifications when the following input signal requirements are met:

• The frequency of the signal being measured must be within the range of 411 MHz to 484 MHz, 804 MHz to 934 MHz, 1.75 GHz to 1.78 GHz, or 1.85 GHz to 1.98 GHz,and be within 100 kHz of the expected frequency.

• The average power level of the signal at the RF IN/OUT connector must be between -20 dBm to +30 dBm. The test set can autorange to a signal that is bet we en +8 dBm to -20 dBm of the exp ected level (see

“RFANalyzer:AUTO:POWer[:SELected]?” ).

Handoff Waveform Quality Measurement Description

How is a Handoff Waveform Quality measurement made?

Handoff waveform quality measurements test a transmitter’s modulation accuracy during transmission of a single code channel, the reverse Pilot Channel. The handoff invol ves changing the current pn (pseudo-noise) offset to force the mobile station to transmit a preamble on the Pilot Channel only. Reverse link power control is changed to alternating up/down bits and waveform quality is measured. After the measurement, the pn offset is returned to the original setting and the power control is returned to the original setting.

Each handoff waveform quali ty measurement returns a number of measurements which include rho, the percentage of signal energy that correlates with a perfect IS-2000 signal after time offset and frequency error have been removed.

This measurement is designed to analyze signals that are made up of multiple code ch annels, as in the case of radio configurations three and above.

Waveform quality measurements are made by sampling the down-converted input signal, then applyi ng DSP (Digital Signal Processing) techniques to determine the original data input to the mobile station transmitter’s Walsh spreading function for each channel. The DSP then genera tes a representation of what the “ideal” signal would be given the coding and data in use at the time of transmission. The ideal wavefor m is then compared with the waveform being measured to determine the waveform quality.

Table 5. lists the Handoff W a veform Quality measurements:

• A call must be connected

Input Signal:

The handoff waveform quality measurement meets or exceeds specifications when the following input signal requirem en ts are met:

• The frequency of the signal being measured must be in the range of 412 MHz to 483 MHz, 800 MHz to 960 MHz, or 1.7 GHz to 2.0 GHz, and within 100 kHz of the expected frequency.

SINAD Measurement Description

How is a SINAD measurement made?

SINAD is a receiver audio quality measur ement for mobiles on a n analog voice c hannel (AVC). It is the ratio of Signal+Noise+Distortion divided by Noise+Distortion, expressed in dB . SINAD is measured using the test set’s Audio Analyzer. SINAD can be measured in the range of 100 Hz to 10 kHz. For information on using the Audio Analyzer, see “Audio Analyzer Measurement Description” on page 40.

The SINAD measurement is used to determine receiver RF sensitivity. SINAD is usually measured either of two ways:

• Reduce the Cell Po we r from the test set until 12 dB SINAD is displayed (re-t rig gering for each measurement), or

• Set the Cell Power from the test set to a specified low level and verify a

See IS-137A, section 2.3.1.1, for more info rmation.

Difference in Agilent 8960 Series 10 and 8920B Test Set SINAD Measurements

If you have previously used the Agilent 8920B RF Communications Test Set to measure SINAD, you may notice that the Agilent 896 0 Series 10 test set’s SINAD value may be lower by up to 0.8 dB when measuring 12 dB SINAD. This is due to the more prec ise digital notc h filter us ed by the 8960, caus ing a more accurate noi se measurement to be made. The 8920B uses an analog filter that does not ha ve as tight a filter notch as the

Considerations When Making Manual SINAD Measurements

Swept Audio Measurements Description

Swept Audio Measurements Description Description

How are swept audio measurements made?

Swept audio measurements synchronize the frequencies of the test set’s audio generator and audio analyzer instruments to automatically make measurements at up to 60 frequency points. Audio level, SINAD, and distortion measurements can be performed at each measurement point in the sweep.

This measurement only generates and analyzes audio signals; no modulation of the RF generator , or demodulation by the receiver, is performed. A representation of this operation is shown below.

Test

The audio generator’s signal is output through the front panel AUDI O OUT port to the device under test. The audio signal from the device under test is sent to the audio analyzer through the AUDIO IN ports.

The start and stop frequencies for the sweep define the frequency range. The user specifies the number of measurement points, which are evenly spaced through the specified frequency range.

Measureme n t se ttling time can be se t to specify how lon g th e au dio signal is gen e ra ted at each freq u ency before a measurement is made by the audio analyzer. This is used to account for settling time in the device being tested and any signal delay through the device. Increasing the settling time increases the sweep time.

If the 100 Hz BW bandpass filter is selected, the center frequency of the filter is synchronized to the audio generator and audio analyzer frequencies.

Typical applications include measuring the audio distortion of a mobil e station across several frequencies and measuring the frequency response of an audio filter or amplifi er.

This is not a measurement procedure specified in the EIA/TIA standar ds.

Swept Audio Measurements Description

Operating Considerations Front Panel Access Swept Audio measurements are accessed manually by pressing the front-panel

Instrument selection key.

Mutli-measurement Use When multi-measurements are used with the swept audio measurement, the AF analyzer makes the number of measurements specified at each point in the sweep. F or example, if five measurement points are specified, and the multi-measurement count is set to 20, a total of 100 measurements are performe d du r i n g th e sw ee p.

Interactions with the Audio Analyzer and Audio Generator Instruments The Swept Audio measurement and the Audio Analyzer instrument cannot be used at the same time to make audio measurements. If you enable either funct i on while the other function is already enabled, the first function is turned off and a message is displayed that informs you of this situation.

The amplitude of the Audio Generator instrument can be changed while the Swep t Au dio measurement is enabled. However, trying to change the Audio Generator instrument’s frequency while using swept audio measurements is not allowed, and causes an error message to be displayed.

Specifying a Specific Measurement Frequency Point Within a Sweep If you need to make sure that a measurement is performed at a specific frequency within the sweep, you can use the following algorithms to calculate the values to enter:

To find which point in the sweep (n) corresponds to the frequency you want the sweep to make a measurement at (F), use the following algorithm -

FS–()P 1–()

n 1 INT

S = sweep start frequency, P = number of measurement p oints t o ma ke i n the sweep, F = specific frequency to make a measurement at during the sweep, n = measurement point corresponding to F,

Emin = minimum upper sweep frequency INT= the largest integer value that is less than or equal to the expression in parenthesis. For example, if

the value of the expression is 3.65037, the integer value is 3.0; the value of n would therefore be 4.

To determine the actual stop frequency (E) to enter, use the following algorithm -

For example if you wanted to make a measurement at 1004 Hz (F) during a sweep of 15 points (P) that begins at 300 Hz (S) and ends after 3 kHz (Emin), the first alg orithm te lls you that 10 04 Hz occurs at the fou rth point in the sweep (n). Use the second algorithm to calculate the actual stop frequency (E) you would enter for that sweep (3585.333 Hz).

TDSO Frame Error Rate Measurement Description

What is a TDSO (Test Data Service Option) FER (Frame Error Rate) measurement?

TDSO FER measurements are used to test the performance of a mobile station receiver while a supplemental (high speed da ta) channel is co n n ected and TDSO (Service Option 32) is sel ected.

This measurement provides a report fro m the mobile station indicating the status of traffic frames received during high speed data transfer on the F-SCH (forward supplemental channel).

NOTE At firmware revision B.03 a new TDSO service option was introduced. When a call is made with

this service option, SO32 (+ SCH), the supp lem ental channel is transmitted on both the forward and reverse links. TDSO FER measurements, however, are made only on the forward supplemental channel.

Since the measurement values displayed are obtained from the mobile station, there are no multi-measurement results availabl e, such as measurement averaging.

How is a TDSO FER Measurement Made?

The test set attempts a TDSO FER measurement when a call is connected using Service Options SO32 (+F-SCH) or SO32 (+ SCH). See “CALL[:CELL]:SOPTION” .

See “CALL[:CELL]:SOPTION” . To establish a call with Service Option 32 you must select Radio Config (Fwd3, Rvs3) or Radio Config (Fwd4, Rvs3). A mobile station originated call can be made or you can pre ss the Originate Call (F3) key. A TDSO FER display is shown below in Figure 6. with 512 frames selected.

TDSO Frame Error Rate Measurement Description

The time period required for TDSO FER measurements depends on the timing of the call connection. All traffic channels, including the F-SCH, are subdivided into segments of 10.24 seconds each. Testing begins

when the first frame (called a sync frame) of the first full segment is received by the mobile station. For example, Figure 7. shows two full F-SCH segments. In this example, the SO 32 call is connected half way through the first segment. Appro ximately 5.12 s later the mo bile station receives the first sync frame from the test set and computes the PRBS data patte rn the test set is about to send.

The time period between the successful negotiation of a SO32 connection and the start of the FER Count Period is bas ed on the current long code state, and will range from 0 seconds to 10.24 seconds.

The mobile station also resets its frame counters upon receiving the first sync frame.

• Bad Frames Instead of Blank Frames Received

• Tot al Bad Frames Received

Also during the second frame interval, the test set keeps a running count of:

• Good Frames Transmitted

• Blank Frames Transmitted

At the end of the second frame interval, the tes t set retrieves frame count data from the mobile station and

Possible Setup Issues

A call must be setup using SO32 (+ F-SCH) or SO32 (+ SCH) and that call must be currently connec ted to make TDSO FER measurements.

IMPORTANT PRBS data must be selected on the forward sup plemental channel if you are making any type of

code domain measurement on the reverse supplemental channel.

The F-SCH Parameters menu allows for the selection of PRBS or Fixed Pattern in the Data Source field. This choice is also applied to the reverse supplemental channel (see “Configuring the R-SCH (Reverse

Supplemental Channel)” . T o c orrectly det ect reverse sup plemental code c hannel parameters , PRBS is the only

data source supported. If PRBS data is not selected, the code domain power results (see “Waveform

Quality/Code Domain Measurement Description” ) will not display distinct code channels with the expected

spreading factors. When PRBS is se l e ct e d in th e D a ta So u rce field, code domain power re su l ts will not be cor r ec t until after th e

first sync frame occurs ( see “How is a TDSO FER Measurement Made?” ). The measurement setup menu allows for specifying the FER confidence requirement. The FER confidence

requirement establishes a target FER rate. To meet standard minimum specifications, a specified FER percentage must be attained with a confidence leve l of 95%. The TDSO FER measurement returns the confidence level based on the actual average FER result obtained over the fixed frame count length. If the confidence level is less than 95% for the specified FER confidence requirement, the test has not passed minimum standards.

The supplemental channel information menu provides channel setup parameters including the supplemental channel data rate, enco der type, and power level. Standards specify data rates and Eb/Nt. Eb/N t can be set by adjusting F-SCH and AWGN level.

If trigger arm is set to Single, the first TDSO FER measurement will be displayed and then the test set will wait until it is t riggered by a GPIB command or the START SINGLE key before the next sync frame is staged.

If “No F-SCH” is displayed in the bottom right po rtion of the display, the supplemental channel is not connected. If “No Sync” is displayed, the sync channel has not been sent to the mobile stati on yet.

Interim results are displayed when the frame count is greater than 512 and the test set is able to retrieve mobile station counter values after intermediate sync frames.

Integrity indicators (see “Integrity Indicator” ) do not apply to this measurement.

Tx Spurious Emissions Measurement Description

How is a Tx Spurious Emissions measurement made?

For cellular frequency bands, and NMT 450, the Tx spurious emission s me asurement analyzes the signal energy at the following frequency offsets relative to the channel’s center frequency:

• ±885 kHz (lower and upper adjacent channels)

• ±1.98 MHz (lower and upper alternate channels)

For PCS frequency bands the Tx spurious emissions measurement analyzes the signal energy at the following frequency offsets relative to the channel’s center frequency:

• ±1.25 MHz (lower and upper adjacent channels)

• ±1.98 MHz (lower and upper alternate channels)

The relative signal energy (dBc) is measured within a 30 kHz bandwidth. A graphical view or a numeric view can be displayed. Tx Spurious Emissions measurements are triggered by a 20 ms clock derived from signaling protocol.

Tx Spurious Emissions measurement characteristics

Tx Spurious Emissions measurements are usuall y made with t he mobil e statio n transmit ting at its fu ll powe r (traffic channel and fundamental channel control is available in the measurement setup menu).

Limit lines are shown on the graphical dis pla y. These lines are set based on the cur rent Cell Band se lection. If the signal energy exceeds a limit line the word Fail appears on the display.

The x-axis on the graphical display is fixed to -2.5 MHz to 2.5 MHz The y-axis on the graphical display is fixed to 0 dBc/30 kHz to -70 dBc/30 kHz. A marker is provided to display measurement levels at each offset frequency. An overall pass/fail indicator is available via GPIB commands (see “FETCh:CTXSpurious[:ALL]?” )

Input Signal Requirements

The Tx Spurious Emissions measurement meets or exceeds specifications when the following requirements are met:

• The frequency of the signal being measured must be in the range of 411 MHz to 484 MHz, 804 MHz to 934 MHz, 1.75 GHz to 1.78 GHz, or 1.85 GHz to 1.98 GHz, and be within 100 kHz of the expected frequency.

• The signal level into the test set’s RF IN/OUT connector must be in the range of 0 dBm to +30 dBm, and within 9 dBm of the expected input power (see “RFANalyzer:AUTO:POWer[:SELected]?” ) to meet specifications.

Waveform Quality/Code Domain Measurement Description

Waveform Quality/Code Domai n Measurement Description

How is a Waveform Quality/Code Domain Power measurement made?

Each waveform waveform quality measurement returns a number of measurements whi ch includes:

• Rho, the percentage of signal energy that correlates with a perfect IS-2000 signal after time offset and frequency error have been removed

• Code domain power, the power levels of each code channel tran smitted by the mobile station.

• Code domain p o w e r a n d n oi se, the total of po wer and noise of ea ch code channel tr a n smitted by the m o bile

station.

This measurement is designed to analyze signals that may be made up of multiple code channels. Multiple code channels are used in calls setup usi ng radio configurations three (Fwd3, Rvs3) and above . Any time a call is connected, wavefor m qualit y measurements can be made. Any combination of service option, radio configuration, or data rate can be measured.

Table 6. “Waveform Quality/Code Domain Power Measurement Results” lists the Waveform Quality/Code

Domain Power measurements:

Waveform Quality/Code Domain Measurement Description

Code Domain Power Graphical Display

The Code Domain Power measurement displays up to 16 I-channel and up to 16 Q-channel bins1. Each bin represents one active code channel. The IS-2000 system achieves high data rates by combining multiple code channels. To facilitate the display of high data rate channels in contiguous blocks, the Walsh code sequence along the graph’s x-axis is displayed in “bit reversed” order. See Table 7. “Walsh Numbering on Code Domain

Power Graphs”

To facilitate the display of measurement results in contiguous blocks the Walsh code sequence along the graph’s x-axis is displayed in “bit reversed” order. See Table 7. “Walsh Numbering on Code Domain Power

The power and power + noise graphs, because of the bit-reversed order, can display channels with a spreading factor of less than 16, such as the R-SCH (Reverse Supplemental CHannel), using one bin. For example,

Figure 8. sh o ws th e Q chann e l with :

• the R-FCH (Reverse Fundamental CHannel) in bin 1 on channel 4,

• the R-SCH in bin 2 on channel 1 (composed of channels 1, 9, 5, 13),

Figure 8. Code Domain Power Graph with R-SCH

An example of bit reversal is shown in Figure 9. Bin 13 has a binary coded decimal value of 1101. If you reverse that sequence, the result is 1011. When 1011 is converted back to a decimal value, the result is Walsh code 11.

1. Bins are the bars that appear on the graph. When high data rate channels such as the F-SCH channel are transmitted from the mobile station, wider bins are displayed. The wider bins represent code channels that occupy multiple orthogonal channels.

The Waveform Quality measurement meets or exceeds specifications when the following requirements are met:

• The frequency of the signal being measured must be in the range of 412 MHz to 483 MHz, 800 MHz to 960 MHz, or 1.7 GHz to 2.0 GHz, and within 100 kHz of the expected frequency.

IMPORTANT PRBS data is required if you are making any of the code domain measurements on the reverse

supplemental channel

The F-SCH Parameters menu allows for the selection of PRBS or Fixed Pattern in the Data Source field. This choice is also applied to the reverse supplemental channel. See “Configuring the F-SCH (Forward

Supplemental Channel)” . T o c orrectly det ect reverse sup plemental code c hannel parameters , PRBS is the only

data source supported. If PRBS data is not selected, the code domain power results will not display distinct code channels with the expecte d spreading factors.

Amplitude Offset

Description

Amplitude offsets compensate fo r los s or gain between the test set ’s RF IN/OUT front panel connector and the mobile station’s RF connector.

To access the amplitude offset feature, press the SYSTEM CONFIG key, followed by the RF IN/OUT Amptd Offset key, F5.

Amplitude offset settings are preserved during power cycles or instrument preset.

Setting Up Amplitude Offsets and Frequency Points

Up to 20 frequency points can be assigned an amplitude offset. Negative amplitude offset values should be entered when there is a loss through the RF cabling and test fixtures and positive values should be entered when there is a gain.

The RF IN/OUT Amplitude Offset table displays the current (on/off) state of the amplitude offset feature. There are also 20 rows for entering frequencies and 20 rows for entering corresponding offset values. T o enter values in the table use the RF IN/OUT Amplitude Offset Setup menu.

To set up amplitude offsets remotely, one comma-separated string is sent to set up frequency points and another comma-separated string assigns the corresponding amplitudes.

GPIB Commands

OUTPUT 714;”SYSTEM:CORRECTION:SFREQUENCY 1710.2 MHZ,1805.2 MHZ,1784.8

Turning amplitude offsets on/off

When the RF IN/OUT Amplitude Offset State is on, all offsets that are not individually turned off are applied and the word “Offset” appears in the Instrument Status Area of the test set’s display.

If the RF IN/OUT Amplitude Offset State is off, none of the amplitude offsets are applied.

GPIB Command

!Sets the RF IN/OUT Amplitude Offset State to On

OUTPUT 714;”SYSTEM:CORRECTION:STATE ON”

NOTE If the RF IN/OUT Amplitude Offset State is turned off , none of the amplitude offsets are on,

even if values are entered for the individual offsets.

Examples of Amplitude Offset Behavior

When the amplitude offset table entries accurately represent the loss in all components (cabling, connectors, and test fixturing) in the signal path between the test set and the mobile stati on, the test set will make the necessary adjustments in both receiver and transmitter measurements.

S:\Hp8960\E1962B CDMA 2000\3.2 Release\Reference Guide\Chapters\cdma2000_conf_meas.fm

Amplitude Offset

Mobile Station Receiver Example

When you set a transmit power level, the test set uses the amplitude offset value to adjust the power so that the test set’s transmit power level refers to the power level received at the mobile station.

For example, with the test set’s transmit power set to level transmitted from the test set will be automatically off set to the mobile station will receive

−85 dBm, the actual setting.

−85 dBm and a −3 dB amplitude offset the actual power

−82 dBm. With a 3 dB loss in the signal path

Agilent 8960

Transmit Power setting = –85 dBm Amplitude offset = –3 dB

–3 dB network

(bidirectional)

Power = –82 dBm Power = –85 dBm

Mobile Station Transmitter Example

When you measure power from the mobile station, the displayed and queried values are offset to show the level at the mobile station.

For example, with the mobile station transmitting 12 dBm and a

−3 dB amplitude offset is entered, the

measured power at the test set would be 9 dBm. The displayed power level is automatically adjusted to 12 dBm to show the level at the mobile station.

Mobile Station

If the expected power, which can be set manually or automatically is 12 dBm, the test set’s internal hardware adjusts itself to r eceive 9 dBm whic h is the actual power from the mobil e stati on after 3 dB loss in th e network.

Amplitude Offset

Amplitude Offsets Between Frequency Settings

If mobile station testing is performed at frequencies that do not have amplitude offsets assigned to them, the test set will estimate an amplitude offset based on the nearest settings. For exampl e, the following screen shows five amplitude offsets for frequencies ranging from 890.2 MHz to 1710.2 MHz.

Figure 12. RF IN/OUT Amplitude Offset Setup

For test frequencies between the lowest (890.2 MHz) and highest (1710.2 MHz) frequency points that are not entered in the table, the test set will calculate offsets using piece-wise linear interpolation.

The graph shown in Figure 13. is a conceptual representation of the test set’s amplitude offset configuration using the settings from the RF IN/OUT Amplitude Offset table in Figure 12. “RF IN/OUT Amplitude Offset

Setup”. Each of the five points are shown on a non-scaled frequncy versus amplitude offset graph. At a test

frequency of 890.4 MHz, whic h is midway between point number one (-1 dB) and point number two (- 2 dB) th e test set applies an offset of -1.5 dB. Be aware that since amplitude offsets are in units of dB, this piece-wise linear interpolation does not pro duce a linear transition from point to point.

Offset (dB)

If testing is done outside the range of frequencie s bounded by the lowest and highest frequency entries, the test set simply uses the amplitude offset that is paired with the nearest frequency point.

Freque ncy (MHz)

IMPORTANT It is highly recommended that amplitude offsets are set up for each test frequency. This

eliminates inaccuracies due to the mismatch between the test set’s linear interpolation and the actual frequency response of the RF path betwe en the test set and mobile station.

Call Processing

S:\Hp8960\E1962B CDMA 2000\3.2 Release\Reference Guide\Chapters\ch_call_processing.fm

Active Cell Operating Mode

Active cell mode is u sed to emul ate an IS-2000 ce ll interact ing with the mobil e s tation (MS) , and is the def ault operating mode.

Active Cell Features

The basic features provided by active cell operating mode are:

• Selection of radio configuration.

• Selection of service options (voice echo or data loopback).

• Call setup and disconnection, both mobile station originated and paging.

• Zone-based and timer-based registration controls.

• Hard handoffs between frequency bands and physical RF channels.

• Service option negotiation during access state or on traffic channels.

• Voice echoing through the mobile’s earpiece.

• Automatic frequency co n t ro l and power ran g i n g o f th e test set’s receiver.

• Mobile station reported information, such as mobile station parameters.

• Closed loop power control.

Setting the Test Set’s Operating Mode to Active Cell Mode

The active cell operating mode is set using the following test set command: OUTPUT 714;”CALL:OPERating:MODE CALL”

AVC Test Operating Mode

Analog Voice Channel (AVC) test mode provides a forward voice channel for operating AMPS mobiles in test mode. This allows you to get the mobile transmitti ng on an AVC and test many functions in the mobile without the need to register or page the mobile.

AVC Test Mode Operation

When the test set’s operating mode is AVC test mode:

• No over the air signaling is available.

• Changes to the test set’s AVC channel assignment occur immediately.

• When the test set’s AVC channel is changed, the base station emulator is automatically reconfigured to

receive the corresponding reverse AVC signal from the mobile. If needed, you can disable this operation by selecting manual receiver frequency control. See “Receiver Control” on page 213.

• Changes to the MS TX Level automatically set the ex pected analog input power. If needed, you can disable this operation by selecting manual receiver power control. See “Receiver Control” on page 213.

• SAT modulation of the tes t set’s forward A VC can be turned on or off , and can be set t o any of the three col or code frequencies.

• Internal FM of the forward AVC is available for various audio frequency tests.

• An external FM source can be used to provide addition fr equency modulation of the forward AVC.

Forward Channel FM Operation

Frequency modulation of the forw a rd c han nel in AVC test mode is a combination of the SAT, internal FM, and external FM settings. No wideband data is present.

To meet sp eci ficatio ns , the total peak FM deviation cannot exceed 20 kHz. Limitat ions for eac h FM source are as follows:

• SAT - can be turned on or off, and has three color code selections: SAT1 (5970 Hz), SAT2 (6000 Hz), SAT3 (6030 Hz). Peak devi ation is fixed at 2 kHz.

• Internal FM - can be turned on or off , has a rate range of 100 Hz to 20 kHz, and a peak deviation range of 0 Hz to 20 kHz.

• External FM - uses the test set’s rear-panel FM Mod In port to connect an external modulation source. The fixed peak deviation for a 100 Hz to 20 kHz tone is 20 kHz/Volt.

AVC Test Mode Operation Using Au tomated Re ceiver Control

The following procedure demonstrates the use of AVC test mode where the base station emulator’s RF generator frequency, measurement receiver frequency, and expected input power are automatically set by the call control settings used. This is the most common way to use test mode because it requires less individual configuration of call parameters.

This procedure provides general programmi ng steps, but is not written around any specific test require ments. Some of the settings shown are the default power up settings f or AVC Test mode.

7. Turn on internal FM, and set the deviation to 8.0 kHz and the rate to 1004 Hz.

OUTPUT 714;”CALL:FM:INTernal 8 KHZ;INT:FREQuency 1004 HZ”

If you do not want internal FM on, use the FM State command to turn it off:

OUTPUT 714;”CALL:FM:INTernal:STATe OFF”

8. Turn external FM off.

OUTPUT 714;”CALL:FM:EXTernal:STATe OFF”

9. Connect the mobile’s antenna port to the test set’s RF IN/OUT port and p ut the mob ile i n anal og te st mode, transmitting at power level two on channel 777.

If your mobile’s audio is not muted, you should hear a 1004 Hz tone out of its speaker. If you have an acoustic or direct connection to the mobile’s audio output, you can make audio measurements through the test set’s AUDIO IN connections. See “Audio Analyzer Measur eme nt De scription” on page 40.

You can also make analog transmit power and frequency stability measurements on the mobile’s reverse channel carrier. If you modulate your mobile’s carrier, you can measure the frequency modulation characteristics. See “Analog Transmit Power Measurement Description” on page 39, “Frequency Stability

Measurement Description” on page 59, and “Frequency Modulation (FM) Measurement Description” on page

57.

AVC Test Operating Mode

AVC Test Mode Oper ation Using Manual Receiver Control

Note: Changing the operating mode affects manual receiver control parameters. See “Effects on Receiver

Control When Changing Operating Mode” on page 215.

The following procedure demonstrates the use of AVC test mode where the base station emulator’s RF generator frequency, measurement receiver frequency, and expected input power are manually configured. Manual control is not commonly used in prod uction testing, but is provided to allow the measurement rece iver and RF generator to be used to perform tests where automated control may not be used; such as when tuning the recevier to make measurements outside of the cellular band during AMPS testing.

This procedure provides general programmi ng steps, but is not written around any specific test require ments. Some of the settings shown are the default power up settings for AVC Test mode.

Putting the mobile in analog test mode at the correct channel num ber and power setting is the responsibility of the user.

1. Select AVC Test mode.

OUTPUT 714;”CALL:OPERating:MODE AVCT”

IS-2000 Test Operating Mode

When the test set is in IS-2000 test operating mode (as opposed to active cell operating mode) it is necessary for the mobile station under test to be capable of independantly performing operations that normally occur through over-t he-air signaling. This capability is referred to as test mode and is usually accomplished using commands which are sent to the mobile station from a system con troller (usually a personal computer) through a proprietary digital interface. See <test mode paper>.

To make measurements on the reverse channel in test mode, the mobile station must first synchronize to the test set’s forward pilot channel and demodulate the sync and paging channels. This is consistent with normal system acquisition procedures and results in the mobile st ation reaching the mobile station idle state. In active cell operating mode, the mobile station at this point would autonomously perform a power-up registration after entering the idle state. A call could then be initiated, using over-the-air call processing, and the fundamental channel would be established and maintained according to the applicable message protocol.

However, in test mode the test set and mobile station are directed to the same FCH (fundamental channel) by the system controller or through manual user interfaces without over-the-air call processing.

Forward CDMA channels available in test mode

In test mode, the test set can be configured to transmit a forward channel that emulates a base station operating in radio configuration (RC) 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. See “Forward Channel Description” on page 784

CW Operating Mode

CW operating mode provides an unmodulated carrier of adjustable frequency and amplitude, manual adjustment of the measurement receiver and demodulation (uplink) receiver frequencies, and manual setting of the expected CW input power.

Note: Changing the operating mode affects manual receiver control parameters. See “Effects on Receiver

Control When Changing Operating Mode” on page 215.

CW Test Mode Operation

When the test set’s operating mode is set to CW:

• No over the air signaling is used.

• No demodulation or channel decoding is available.

• An unmodulated RF signal can be generated while analyzing another signal (at the same frequency or at a

different frequency). No interaction exists between these controls.

• Expected CW power, measurement receiver frequency, and uplink receiver frequency are available as manual settings only; no automatic control is provided.

CW Mode Operation

The following command examples show you how to control each function for CW operating mode:

1. Select CW operating mode: OUTPUT 714;”CALL:OPERating:MODE CW”

2. Set the cell power output level to be transmitted by the test set: OUTPUT 714;”CALL:POWer -45 DBM”

3. Set the RF generator frequency: OUTPUT 714;”CALL:RFGenerator:FREQuency 870 MHZ”

4. Set the expected CW power level to be received by the test set: OUTPUT 714;”RFANalyzer:CW:EXPected:POWer 23 DBM”

5. Set the measurement receiver frequency: OUTPUT 714;”RF ANalyzer:MANual:MEASurement 870.030 MHZ”
