This chapter provides overall information on the TD-SCDMA communications
system Options 212 and 213, and describes TD-SCDMA modulation analysis
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
What Does the Agilent PSA Series Option 212 and 213 Do?
What Does the Agilent PSA Series Option 212 and 213
Do?
This instrument can be used for testing a TD-SCDMA transmitter, including
measuring HSPA/8PSK signals, adhering to the following standards documents:
— 3GPP TS 25.223 Spreading and modulation (TDD) (Release 7)
— 3GPP TS 25.308 High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) (Release 7)
TD-SCDMA is a wireless multiple access technology, which combines aspects of
code division multiple access (CDMA) and time division multiple access
(TDMA).
The PSA Series Options 212 and 213 provides a one-analyzer solution to perform
essential demodulation measurements on complex TD-SCDMA signals.
• Option 212 performs modulation analysis measurements and quickly quantifies
modulation quality and associated parameters. Results such as composite
EVM, constellation diagram, and code domain power are available.
Introduction
• Option 213 is a sub-option to Option 212 used to measure HSPA and 8PSK
signals and requires Option 212. All the measurements, results, and views
available in Option 212 are still available when Option 213 is enabled.
Option B7J (Digital Demodulation Hardware) is required and either Option 1DS
(RF pre-amplifier, up to 3 GHz) or Option 110 (mw/mmw pre-amplifier, above
3 GHz) is highly recommended.
Using the PSA and Option 212 and 213, you can make the following
measurements:
• “Code Domain Measurements” on page 29
• “Modulation Accuracy (Composite EVM) Measurements” on page 43
• “Spectrum Analysis Measurement (Frequency Domain)” see PSA Basic Guide
• “Waveform Measurement (Time Domain)” see PSA Basic Guide
and test signals that conform to the following standard formats:
• QPSK
• 8PSK
• 16QAM
• 64QAM
You can use the PSA with Option 212 and 213 to automatically make
measurements using the measurement methods and limits defined in the standards
documents. You may perform measurements on both uplink and downlink signals.
Using the Phase Shift functionality, the measurements display detailed results that
allow you to better analyze TD-SCDMA system performance. You may alter the
measurement parameters for specialized analysis.

Introduction
What Does the Agilent PSA Series Option 212 and 213 Do?
For infrastructure test, the instrument will test transmitters of base stations in a
non-interfering manner by means of a coupler or power splitter. For subscriber unit
test, mobiles may be measured by way of a splitter or coupler when the mobile is
actively linked to a base station or base station simulator. An alternative method of
mobile measurement requires that the mobile be placed in a special test mode.
For more information on individual measurements, see Chapter 2 , “Making
Measurements,” on page 25.

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 18.
2. Install the measurement personality firmware into the instrument memory.
Details follow in “Loading an Optional Measurement Personality” on page 22.
3. Enter a license key that activates the measurement personality. Details follow
in “Obtaining and Installing a License Key” on page 22.
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.

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 22. 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.
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/out of memory as needed. If you only have 48 MBytes of memory,
you can upgrade your 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.

Introduction
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 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 Option 115, there is adequate memory to install all of the available
optional personalities in your instrument.
See: http://www.agilent.com/find/psa_firmware
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 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.
Introduction
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 21.
2. shared libraries require 7.72 MBytes
3. recommended mode swap space is 2 MBytes
4. Screens - .gif files need 20-25 kB 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.
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
Save State is executed. You can set the PSA to boot into a selected mode by
the
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 firmware versions
available for downloading:
For PSA, see http://www.agilent.com/find/psa_firmware
Introduction
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 21. 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 following
procedure:
NOTE You can also use this procedure to reinstall a license key that has been deleted
during an uninstall process, or lost due to a memory failure.

Code Domain Measurements
Code Domain Measurements
This section explains how to make a code domain measurement on TD-SCDMA
(3GPP) MS and BTS. This is the measurement of the spread code channels across
composite RF channels. The code power may be measured relative to the total
power within the 1.28 MHz channel bandwidth, or absolutely, in units of power.
Code Domain measurement examples using a TD-SCDMA (UL) signal are shown
in this section.
NOTE Before activating a measurement, make sure the mode setup and frequency
channel parameters are set to the desired settings. Refer to the sections “Mode” on
page 65 and “FREQUENCY/Channel key” on page 58.
One-Button MS Measurement Procedure
Step 1. Configure the Unit Under Test (UUT) as follows.
The mobile station (MS) under test has to be set to transmit the one RF carrier
remotely through the system controller. This transmitting signal is connected to the
instrument’s RF input port. Connect the equipment as shown.
Figure 2-1 Code Domain Measurement System
a. Using the appropriate cables, adapters, and circulator, connect the output signal
of the MS to the RF input of the instrument.
Making Measurements
b. Connect the base transmission station simulator or signal generator to the MS
through the circulator to initiate a link constructed with the sync and pilot
channels, if required.
c. Connect a BNC cable between the 10 MHz OUT port of the signal generator

and the EXT REF IN port of the instrument.
d. Connect the system controller to the MS through the serial bus cable to control
the MS operation.
Step 2. From the base transmission station simulator and/or the system controller, perform
all of the call acquisition functions required for the MS to transmit the RF signal as
follows:
Frequency: 2017.2 MHz
Switch Point: 1, Uplink
Scramble Code: 0
Spread Code Length: 8
Signal Amplitude: -20 dBm
