1 Introduction to NADC and PDC
This chapter provides overall information on the NADC and PDC
communications systems Option BAE and describes NADC and PDC
measurements made by the analyzer. Installation instructions for
adding this option to your analyzer are provided in this section, in case
you purchased this option separately.

Introduction to NADC and PDC
What does the Agilent PSA Series and VSA E4406A Option BAE do?
What does the Agilent PSA Series and
VSA E4406A Option BAE do?
This instrument can help determine if an NADC or PDC transmitter
operates correctly. When configured for NADC, the instrument can be
used to test an NADC transmitter according to the TIA/EIA standards,
627, 628, 629, IS-136, IS-137, and IS-138. When configured for PDC,
the instrument can be used to test a PDC transmitter according to the
Research and Development Center for Radio Systems (RCR) document,
RCR STD-27F or RCR STD-27G.
This document defines complex and multiple-part measurements used
to maintain an interference-free environment. For example, the
document includes the testing method for carrier power. For NADC
testing, the instrument automatically makes measurements based on
the TIA/EIA standards. For PDC testing, the instrument automatically
makes measurements based on the RCR standard. The detailed
measurement result displays allow you to analyze NADC and PDC
system performance. You may alter the measuring parameters for your
specific measurement and analysis.

Installing Optional Measurement Personalities
Installing Optional Measurement
Personalities
When you install a measurement personality, you need to follow a three
step process:
1. Determine whether your memory capacity is sufficient to contain all
the options you want to load. If not, decide which options you want to
install now, and consider upgrading your memory. Details follow in
“Do You Have Enough Memory to Load All Your Personality
Options?” on page 19.
2. Install the measurement personality firmware into the instrument
memory. Details follow in “Loading an Optional Measurement
Personality” on page 23.
3. Enter a license key that activates the measurement personality.
Details follow in “Obtaining and Installing a License Key” on page
24.
Adding measurement personalities requires the purchase of an upgrade
kit for the desired option. The upgrade kit contains the measurement
personality firmware and an entitlement certificate that is used to
generate a license key from the internet website. A separate license key
is required for each option on a specific instrument serial number and
host ID.
For the latest information on Agilent Spectrum Analyzer options and
upgrade kits, visit the following web location:
http://www.agilent.com/find/sa_upgrades
Do You Have Enough Memory to Load All Your Personality Options?
If you do not have memory limitations then you can skip ahead to the
next section “Loading an Optional Measurement Personality” on
page 23. If after installing your options you get error messages relating
to memory issues, you can return to this section to learn more about
how to optimize your configuration.
If you have 64 MBytes of memory installed in your instrument, you
should have enough memory to install at least four optional
personalities, with plenty of memory for data and states.
Introduction to NADC and PDC
The optional measurement personalities require different amounts of
memory. So the number of personalities that you can load varies. This is
also impacted by how much data you need to save. If you are having
memory errors you must swap the applications in or out of memory as
needed. If you only have 48 MBytes of memory, you can upgrade your
Chapter 1 19
Introduction to NADC and PDC
Installing Optional Measurement Personalities
hardware to 64 MBytes.
Additional memory can be added to any PSA Series analyzer by
installing Option 115. With this option installed, you can install all
currently available measurement personalities in your analyzer and
still have memory space to store more state and trace files than would
otherwise be possible.

If you have 48 MBytes of memory, and you want to install more than 3
optional personalities, you may need to manage your memory
resources. The following section, “How to Predict Your Memory
Requirements” on page 21, will help you decide how to configure your
installed options to provide optimal operation.
20 Chapter 1
Introduction to NADC and PDC
Installing Optional Measurement Personalities
How to Predict Your Memory Requirements
If you plan to install many optional personalities, you should review
your memory requirements, so you can determine whether you have
enough memory (unless you have a PSA Series with Option 115). There
is an Agilent “Memory Calculator” available online that can help you do
this, or you can make a calculated approximation using the information
that follows. You will need to know your instrument’s installed memory
size as determined in the previous section and then select your desired
applications.
NOTE If you have a PSA Series analyzer with Option 115, there is adequate memory
to install all of the available optional personalities in your instrument.
To calculate the available memory on your E4406, see:
http://sa.tm.agilent.com/E4406A/memory/
To calculate the available memory on your PSA, see:
http://sa.tm.agilent.com/PSA/memory/
Select the “Memory Calculator” link. You can try any combination of
available personalities to see if your desired configuration is compatible
with your installed memory.
NOTE For PSA: After loading all your optional measurement personalities, you
should have a reserve of ~2 MBytes memory to facilitate mode switching. Less
available memory will increase mode switching time. For example, if you
employ excessive free memory by saving files of states and/or data, your mode
switching time can increase to more than a minute.
You can manually estimate your total memory requirements by adding
up the memory allocations described in the following steps. Compare
the desired total with the available memory that you identified in the
previous section.
1. Program memory - Select option requirements from the table
“Measurement Personality Options and Memory Required” on
page 22.
2. For PSA only: shared libraries require 7.72 MBytes
3. For PSA only: recommended mode swap space is 2 MBytes
4. Screens - .gif files need 20-25 kBytes each
5. State memory - State file sizes range from 21 kB for SA mode to
40 kB for W-CDMA. The state of every mode accessed since power-on
will be saved in the state file. File sizes can exceed 150 kB each when
several modes are accessed, for each state file saved.
Introduction to NADC and PDC
TIP State memory retains settings for all states accessed before the Save State
command. To reduce this usage to a minimum, reduce the modes accessed
before the Save State is executed. You can set the PSA to boot into a selected
mode by accessing the desired mode, then pressing the System, Power
On/Preset, Power On keys and toggle the setting to Last.

Loading an Optional Measurement Personality
You must use a PC to load the desired personality option into the
instrument memory. Loading can be done from a firmware CD-ROM or
by downloading the update program from the internet. An automatic
loading program comes with the files and runs from your PC.
You can check the Agilent internet website for the latest PSA firmware
versions available for downloading:

Introduction to NADC and PDC
Installing Optional Measurement Personalities
You can check the Agilent internet website for the latest E4406
firmware versions available for downloading:
http://www.agilent.com/find/e4406a_firmware
NOTE When you add a new option, or update an existing option, you will get the
updated versions of all your current options as they are all reloaded
simultaneously. This process may also require you to update the instrument
core firmware so that it is compatible with the new option.
Depending on your installed hardware memory, you may not be able to
fit all of the available measurement personalities in instrument
memory at the same time. You may need to delete an existing option file
from memory and load the one you want. Use the automatic update
program that is provided with the files. Refer to the table showing
“Measurement Personality Options and Memory Required” on page 22.
The approximate memory requirements for the options are listed in this
table. These numbers are worst case examples. Some options share
components and libraries, therefore the total memory usage of multiple
options may not be exactly equal to the combined total.

Obtaining and Installing a License Key
If you purchase an optional personality that requires installation, you
will receive an “Entitlement Certificate” which may be redeemed for a
license key specific to one instrument. Follow the instructions that
accompany the certificate to obtain your license key.
To install a license key for the selected personality option, use the
