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).

Understanding cdmaOne

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:

Using Install Key

You may want to install a software revision, install new measurement software, reinstall measurement software that you have previously uninstalled, or uninstall measurement software. Before you can install software, you will need a set of installation diskettes.
If you have ordered a measurement personality, you will receive the installation disk set in the option upgrade package. If you are updating an existing, previously installed measurement option, you may order the diskettes from Agilent Technologies or create a set from the Agilent internet site shown in “ESA Spectrum Analyzers Update” on page 2-10. When you order the updated software disk set, you will need to order Option UE2 with an cdmaOne revision update. (Option UE2 is a firmware update and is needed to ensure that the firmware and the software are compatible.) To order a set of diskettes, get in touch with your local Agilent Technologies service or sales office.Forthe locationof these offices, refer to Table 6-1 on page 6-5. To create a disk set refer to
“Creating Software Installation Disks” below.
Creating Software Installation Disks
To create the installation disks on-line, visit the Agilent internet site shown under “ESA Spectrum Analyzers Update” on page 2-10. Follow the instructions provided on the internet site for downloading the current measurement personalty software and creating the installation disk set. The instructions for creating the disk set will step you through the process to create a firmware disk set when you create the measurement personalty software disk set. (A firmware update may be needed to ensure that the firmware and the software are compatible.) After you have created the disk set, follow the on-line instructions to install the firmware.

If you have a problem with the installation process, refer to
“Troubleshooting the Installer” on page 2-14.
NOTE When the installer starts up, it examines the instrument to ensure that
all the required software and hardware options are present. If they are not, the installer will generate and error and you will not be able to install the personality.
1. If this is the installation of new personality option software, you must enter the License Key for the new option. For instructions on entering the License Key, refer to the “Installing the Licensing Key”

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

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.
3-2 Chapter3
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

Ref Level If RF Input Range is set to manual, this key allows the reference level
to be changed. This function is activated when pressed. The reference level is the amplitude power or voltage represented by the top graticule line on the display.Changing the value of the reference level changes the absolute amplitude level (in the selected amplitude units) of the top graticule line. The reference level can be changed using the step keys, the knob, or the numeric keypad. Pressing any digit, 0 through 9, on the numeric keypad brings up the terminator menu.

If the measurement is restarted or reselected, the centerfrequency is reset based onthe channel frequency. The measurements affected by this key are Channel Power, Receive Channel Power, Rho, Code Domain, Monitor Band/Channel, and Occupied Bandwidth.
CF Step Auto Man

Once a step size has been selected and the channel frequency or temporary frequency function is activated, the step keys change the frequency by the step-size value. The step size function is useful for finding harmonics and sidebands beyond the current frequency span of the analyzer. When auto-coupled, the center frequency step size is set to one channel width as defined by the selected Standard and tuning plan.
PN Offset Activates the PN offset function allowing you to enter the PN Offset
