Tuning Plan Channel and Band Parameters
The cdmaOne standards use various tuning plans. The channel and frequency parameters of the various tuning plans are
shown in the following table. To look at the entire frequency range for a standard and tuning plan, block can be set to “Full”.
For example, Block = Full for J-STD-008 would tune the analyzer from Block A 1930 MHZ (lower edge) to Block C 1990 MHz
(upper edge).
What Does the cdmaOne Measurement Personality and Hardware Do?
What Does the cdmaOne Measurement
Personality and Hardware Do?
The Agilent ESA-E Series Spectrum Analyzer with cdmaOne
measurement personality and hardware can help determine if a
cdmaOne transmitter is working correctly. When configured for
cdmaOne, you can use the instrument to test a cdmaOne transmitter,
according to a variety of industry standards. These documents define
complex, multi-part measurements used to maintain an
interference-free environment. For example, the documents include
methods for measuring the power in a channel. Refer to “cdmaOne
Standards” on page 1-2, for more information on the standards
supported by the measurement personality.
When you select a standard format, the ESA-E Series Spectrum
Analyzer is configured for one-button measurements based on the
measurement methods and limits defined in the standards. The
instrument displays detailed results of the measurements allowing you
to analyze cdmaOne base station system transmitter performance.
The standards specify the test method and settings. However, you can
customize measurements for analyses by changing limits and
measurement parameters.
For cellular and PCS infrastructure tests, the instrument will test
base-station transmitters in a non-interfering manner with of a coupler
or power splitter.
This ESA with the cdmaOne personality includes these measurements:
❏ Channel Power
❏ Code Domain Power
❏ Modulation Accuracy (Rho)
❏ Monitor Channel/Band
❏ Occupied Bandwidth
❏ Out of Band Spurious
❏ Receive Channel Power
❏ Receiver Spurious
❏ Spur Close (In Band Spurious)
❏ Spurs at Harmonics

cdmaOne key.
Initial Settings
Before making a measurement, make sure the mode setup and
frequency channel parameters are set to the desired settings. Refer to
sections Chapter 4 , “Menu Maps,” and Chapter 5 , “Front-Panel Key
Reference,” for additional information to guide you in changing
parameter settings.
If you want to set the instrument (including the cdmaOne mode
settings) to a known, factory default state,press

more information on setting, saving, and using user defaults, refer to
the ESA Spectrum Analyzers User’s Guide.
If you want to set only the cdmaOne mode to a known, factory default
state, press
Mode Setup and Restore Mode Defaults. This will reset only
the cdmaOne parameters to the factory defaults without affecting the
SA mode, and the instrument will not exit the cdmaOne mode.
To preset only the settings that are specific to the selected
measurement, press
Restore Meas Defaults under Meas Setup. This will
set the measurement setups parameters, for the currently selected
measurement only, to the factory defaults.
How to Make a Measurement
The cdmaOne measurements are set up and are intended to be used as
“one-button” measurements. After you have properly connected the
instrument to the digital communications system equipment and
selected the measurement, the measurement is made using the default
parameters defined by the selected standard and the tuning plan.
3-2Chapter3
Setting Up the cdmaOne Mode
Preparing to Make Measurements
Even though the measurements are designed as one-button
measurements, you may change the default settings using various
setup keys. However, changing the default settings may produce
measurement results that are outside of the parameters of the selected
standard and tuning plan requirements.
Most measurements can be performed using the simple four-step
procedure outlined in the table below. Most measurements are
performed using only the primary keys listed in conjunction with a
minimum of setup keys. Measurement setup keys (
Meas Setup) can be
used for non-standards compliant testing. For more information see
“Initial Settings” above.
