What Does the Agilent PSA Series and Option 211 Do?

What Does the Agilent PSA Series and Option 211 Do?
The PSA series spectrum analyzer offers comprehensive RF measurement capabilities. The TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Domain Multiple Access) measurement personality provides a suite of standard-based measurements, including one-button power measurements, to provide the most comprehensive and easy-to-use TD-SCDMA measurement solution in one analyzer, and to help you evaluate margins and trade-offs in your design performance, efficiency, and cost.
TD-SCDMA is a wireless multiple access technology, which combines aspects of code division multiple access (CDMA) and time division multiple access (TDMA). Making standard-based measurements presents unique challenges and requirements. The PSA series TD-SCDMA measurement personality provides a one-analyzer solution to perform essential power measurements on complex TD-SCDMA signals so that you can:
Facilitate the design, development, and deployment of TD-SCDMA systems
Expand design possibilities with powerful measurement capability and flexibility
Expedite troubleshooting and design verification with numerous features and an intuitive user interface
Simplify test systems with RF power measurements, spur searches, and general high-performance spectrum analysis in one analyzer
You can test a TD-SCDMA transmitter manufactured according to CWTS TSM standards documents. These documents define complex, multi-part measurements used to create and maintain an interference-free environment. For example, the documents include standardized test methods for the measurement of power in a
Introduction
carrier, a spectrum emission mask, and other critical measurements.
You can use the PSA with Option 211 to automatically make these measurements using the measurement methods and limits defined in the CWTS TSM standards documents. You may perform measurements on both uplink and downlink signals. The measurements display detailed results that allow you to analyze TD-SCDMA system performance. You may alter the measurement parameters for specialized analysis.
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 alternate method of mobile measurement requires that the mobile be placed in a special test mode.

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 26.
2. Install the measurement personality firmware into the instrument memory. Details follow in “Loading an Optional Measurement Personality” on page 30.
3. Enter a license key that activates the measurement personality. Details follow in “Obtaining and Installing a License Key” on page 30.
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:

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 30. If after installing
your options you get error messages relating to memory issues, you can return to
Introduction
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 or 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.
To see the size of your installed memory for PSA Series Spectrum Analyzers:
1. Ensure that the spectrum analyzer is in spectrum analyzer mode because this

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 28, will help you decide how to configure your installed options to provide optimal operation.

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 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 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 28.
2. Shared libraries require 7.72 MBytes.
Introduction
3. The 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.
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

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:
http://www.agilent.com/find/psa_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 28. 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
Introduction
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.

Measurement Results

Figure 2-2 shows an example of the Transmit Power measurement result with the measurement method
set to measured burst width. The transmit power graph is shown in the graph window. The measured mean transmit power, current data minimum and maximum power points, full burst width, along with the amplitude threshold level used are shown in the text window.
Chapter 2 39
Making Measurements
Making Measurements
Transmit Power Measurement
Figure 2-2 Transmit Power—Measured Burst Width
Figure 2-3 shows an example of the Transmit Power measurement result with the measurement method
set to above threshold level. The transmit power graph is shown in the graph window. The measured mean transmit power, current data minimum and maximum power points, along with the amplitude threshold level used are shown in the text window.
Figure 2-4 shows an example of the Transmit Power measurement result with the measurement method
set to single time slot. The transmit power graph is shown in the graph window. The measured mean transmit power, current data minimum and maximum power points, along with the amplitude threshold level used are shown in the text window.
Mean Transmit Power - The mean transmit power result can be calculated using one of two methods:
— When the Measure Method parameter is set to Above Threshold Level, all trace data points above
the Threshold Lvl parameter value are averaged according to the selected Average Type parameter.
— When the Measure Method parameter is set to Measured Burst Width, the trace data points that
fall within the Burst Width are averaged according to the selected Average Type parameter. These data points are indicated on the screen as the region between the two white vertical lines.
— When the Measure Method parameter is set to Signal Time Slot, the trace data points that fall with
the time slot specified in the Frequency Channel menu are indicated on the screen as the region between the two green vertical lines.
Making Measurements
The result is averaged according to the Average Number, Average Mode, and Average Type parameter settings.
Max Pt. - The max pt is current data, and therefore is based on the current trace, and not the averaged data. It gives the maximum trace point detected over the entire trace.
40 Chapter 2
Making Measurements
Transmit Power Measurement
Min Pt. - The min pt is current data, and therefore is based on the current trace, and not the averaged data. It gives the minimum trace point detected over the entire trace.
Full Burst Width - The full burst width result is the time between the detected –6 dB start and stop points relative to the mean transmit power of the first detected “active” timeslot. This result metric is only available when the Measure Method parameter is set to Measured Burst Width.
If no signal timeslots are determined to be “active”, all the screen results are unavailable (four dashed lines are shown).
NOTE It may be necessary to adjust the Threshold Lvl parameter located under the Meas
Setup menu, to achieve reliable detection of the input signal active timeslots. Use of an inappropriate value for the Threshold Lvl parameter may result in all the screen results being unavailable (four dashed lines are shown).
Amplitude Threshold - The relative or absolute value of the Threshold Lvl setup parameter is displayed on the screen, and represents the level of the green horizontal amplitude threshold line displayed in the graph window.
In the Above Threshold Level measurement method, the Amplitude Threshold determines the level above which trace points will be included in the Mean Transmit Power result calculation.
In the Measured Burst Width measurement method, the Amplitude Threshold determines the burst search threshold level to be used by the Transmit Power measurement in determining whether or not a signal timeslot is active or not.

Step 8. It may be necessary to adjust the external trigger Delay parameter located under
the Trigger menu, to achieve reliable detection of the input signal active timeslots.
Proper adjustment of the external trigger delay can be achieved by ensuring the rise and fall edges of the input signal active timeslot align with the location of the two white vertical Burst Lines displayed in the graph window. These Burst Lines represent the theoretical expected location of the selected Burst Type and Traffic Slot parameters, when the external trigger event occurs at the start of each 5 msec frame.
Using an inappropriate value for the external trigger Delay parameter may result in both the Full Burst Width result being made unavailable (four dashed lines are shown) as well as an inappropriate Power vs Time limit mask being automatically created and applied resulting in a potential limit test FAIL.
Step 9. It may be necessary to adjust the Burst Search Threshold parameter located under
the Trigger menu, to achieve reliable detection of the input signal active timeslots.
Use of an inappropriate value of the Burst Search Threshold parameter may result in both the Full Burst Width result being made unavailable (four dashed lines are shown) as well as an inappropriate Power vs Time limit mask being automatically created and applied resulting in a potential limit test FAIL.

Information shown in the data window of the displays include:
Mean Transmit Power - The Mean Transmit Pwr result is measured over the transmission period of the selected Burst Type, which is indicated on screen as the region between the two white vertical lines displayed when the Burst Lines display parameter is enabled.
The result is averaged according to the Average Number, Average Mode, and Average Type parameter settings.
46 Chapter 2

Power Versus Time Measurement
Transmit Off Power - The transmit off power result is measured in accordance with the TSM specification. It is a measure the average power of the BTS or MS output signal over the transmit off power period region starting 11 chips before the start of any “inactive” time slot, and ending 8 chips before any following “active” time slot. Also, if there are more than one “inactive” region, then the average power measurement is made over all “inactive” regions.
The result is averaged according to the Average Number, Average Mode, and Average Type parameter settings.
If all signal timeslots are determined to be “active”, the screen result is unavailable (four dashed lines are shown) and SCPI_ = 9.91E37 is returned for this result when the measurement results are queried remotely.
Max Pt. - The max pt is current data, and therefore is based on the current trace, and not the averaged data. It gives the maximum trace point detected over the entire trace.
Min Pt. - The min pt is current data, and therefore is based on the current trace, and not the averaged data. It gives the minimum trace point detected over the entire trace.
Full Burst Width - The full burst width result is the time between the detected –3 dB start and stop points relative to the mean transmit power of the selected Burst Type timeslot.
If the selected Burst Type signal timeslot is determined to be “inactive”, the screen result is unavailable (four dashed lines are shown) and SCPI_NAN = 9.91E37 is returned for this result when the measurement results are queried remotely.

Troubleshooting Hints

This adjacent channel power ratio measurement can reveal degraded or defective parts in the transmitter section of the DUT. The following examples are those areas to be checked further.
Some faults in the DC power supply control of the transmitter power amplifier, RF power controller of the pre-power amplifier stage, or I/Q control of the baseband stage
Some degradation in the gain and output power level of the amplifier due to the degraded gain control and/or increased distortion
Some degradation of the amplifier linearity and other performance characteristics
Power amplifiers are one of the final stage elements of a base or mobile transmitter and are a critical part of meeting the important power and spectral efficiency specifications. Since ACP measures the spectral response of the amplifier to a complex wideband signal, it is a key measurement linking amplifier linearity and other performance characteristics to the stringent system specifications.

Mode Switching

The TD-SCDMA mode is notified when a mode switch is about to happen. Upon leaving the TD-SCDMA mode (as when another mode has been selected by the user), the TD-SCDMA mode is saved into an ISTATE file in the flash file system. Mode ISTATE will consist of all measurement setup settings, the current measurement, and the mode setup settings. Upon re-entry to the TD-SCDMA mode, the mode state will be recalled from the stored ISTATE file. The mode will start with the same measurement that was selected when exited and all measurement and mode settings will be restored. Trace data and measurement results from the last time the mode was active are not restored.
Mode Selection on Power On/Preset
The mode that becomes active when the analyzer is turned on depends on the settings in the ‘Power On/Preset’ menu under the ‘System’ front-panel key of the analyzer:
Value of Power On/Preset Parameter Mode entered at Power On
Power-On Last State Mode that was active at Power-down
Power-On Factory Preset Spectrum Analyzer Mode
TD-SCDMA Mode Entry
Upon entering the TD-SCDMA Mode, the last saved state for the TD-SCDMA Mode is restored. The first time the mode is entered there will be no saved state information, and therefore the DLP will restore the factory-preset state. The default measurement for the TD-SCDMA mode is Transmit Power. The first time the TD-SCDMA personality is activated, this will be the active measurement. It will also be the active measurement if TD-SCDMA is the active mode and a mode or factory preset (green Preset front-panel key or remote :*RST) is performed.
TD-SCDMA Mode Exit
When the TD-SCDMA Mode exits, the state is saved, for the purposes of restoring the state the next time the mode becomes active.

Restriction and Notes When set to Auto, the reference level and attenuation will be set
automatically each time a measurement is entered or is restarted with the Restart front-panel key. The algorithm used determines the input attenuation based on the input signal level and the max mixer level appropriate for the measurement being made. It ensures the max mixer level is protected and the minimum attenuation setting is used for optimum dynamic range. This is done using the following steps;
Measure and update Max Total Pwr, which represents the maximum total signal power level at the device under test (DUT) output.
Calculate the maximum signal level at the SA RF Input port.
RF Input Power = Max Total Pwr + Ext Amp Gain – Ref Level Offset
Calculate the optimum attenuator setting for protecting the current measurements appropriate max mixer level, taking into account any gain associated with the current Int Preamp state.
Input Atten (MML) = RF Input Power + Internal Preamp Gain – Max Mixer Level
Calculate the optimum attenuator setting for best accuracy and trace display purposes. This takes into account how far down the peak of the signal should be positioned on the display. (Note: Only important on ESA platform for accuracy purposes) Input Atten (Accy) = RF Input Power + No. of Divisions Down – Maximum Base Box MML
The maximum Input Atten value calculated from steps 3 and 4 is rounded up to the nearest attenuation step and is used as the optimum attenuation setting.
Finally the ideal reference level for accuracy and display purposes is calculated and set.
Ref Level = RF Input Power – Ext Amp Gain + Ref Level Offset + No. of Divisions Down
When set to Man, the reference level and attenuation will be set according to the user defined values of Max Total Pwr, Input Atten, and Ref Level.

Next Window / Zoom Front-panel keys
When measurements in the personality have a display that consists of more than one window, the analyzer Zoom and Next Window front-panel keys may be used to control the way the windows appear. The Zoom front-panel key causes the current window (indicated by a bright green outline when the standard color palette is used) to fill the entire display area (covering the other windows in the process). All measurements will be written to take advantage of the stingray display system’s method of anchoring display items to specific points on the window. This allows the display items to be automatically resized/repositioned/redrawn when the window is resized.
The Next Window front-panel key may be used to change the current (highlighted) measurement window. The Next Window of the display need not be visible on the screen for it to be made current.

STATus Subsystem
The STATus command subsystem enables you to examine the status of the spectrum analyzer by monitoring the “Operation Status Register”.
Status Register Set Commands This section lists the five commands that can be applied to all the
SCPI registers. These commands should be prefixed with the node or nodes that represent the SCPI Register Set you wish to control.
The five Status Register Set commands are as follows. See SCPI Reference Section 20.1 – 20.5 for detailed definition.
STATus:OPERation:CONDition? See SCPI Reference Section 20.1.
STATus:OPERation:ENABLE <NRf> | <non-decimal numeric> See SCPI Reference Section 20.2.

Other Common Menus

File/Save Functions
The File/Save menu is left unchanged from the base analyzer, other than the addition of a new file type. This allows the user to save the measurement results in a comma-delimited fashion, suitable for opening in a spreadsheet program on a personal computer/laptop/palmtop.
This is implemented as Mime functionality, therefore all measurements which are written to support the Mime display objects will implicitly support saving of measurement results. Any measurement that does not have any results available should gray out and disable this particular menu key.
Key and SCPI Reference
Results are output in a tabular form, with the headings supplied by the Display object static text and the entries supplied by the Display object values.
Example results files are included in each measurement chapter later in this document. Order and layout in the file should be as close as possible to the layout on the screen.
Note: The ‘Measurement Results’ file type also exists when using the file system to Delete, Catalog, Copy and Rename files.

Restriction and Notes This parameter automatically sets the base box hardware trigger delay to an
appropriate value such that the timeslot specified by the Burst Type and Traffic Slot parameter combination is the first complete timeslot viewed at the left-most side of both the Power vs Time and Transmit Power measurements traces. (Assuming ideal Ext Trigger is being used with trigger event representing start of traffic slot 0, and that the specified burst type is active).
This parameter also affects the base box hardware sweeptime used for the Power vs Time and Transmit Power measurements. The sweeptime setting employed is determined by the specified Burst Type, along with the number of slots to be viewed (Meas Time parameter), and the known configuration of the TD-SCDMA burst.
In some frequency-domain measurements, Burst Type and Traffic Slot keys will determine the Gate Length and Gate Delay. When Burst Type menu key is pressed, Gate State will turn On automatically if current trigger source is NOT Freerun.

Remote commands for those measurements that place keys on the Span / X Scale menu are listed under those measurements.

Markers

The base analyzer Marker menu is not available while the analyzer is in TD-SCDMA mode. Measurements that require marker functionality have their own Marker menu that will be available only when that measurement is running. These measurement-specific Marker menus are described in detail later in this document, in the chapters describing the individual measurements. When a measurement has no specific marker requirements, the Marker menu will appear blank.
Key and SCPI Reference
Markers are all measurement-specific. That is, turning on a marker for one measurement does not turn it on for any other measurement. Marker states for each measurement are saved at measurement exit and recalled at measurement entry. If a marker is turned on in a measurement and the measurement is subsequently exited, the marker will be restored the next time that measurement, begins, provided that no *RST or state recall has happened before then. See the individual measurement chapters later in this document for specific SCPI commands for markers.

Restart Measurement
Pressing the ‘Restart’ menu key in the Meas Control menu, or pressing the ‘Restart’ front-panel key re-starts the measurement running from the Idle state. This does not change any parameter values but does reset the average counter.
Continuous vs. Single Measurement Mode
The mode of operation of the measurement may be configured from the ‘Continuous/Single’ menu keys in the Meas Control menu. The setting of Continuous/Single is valid for all measurements. If set to:
SINGLE–one measurement will be taken (this will involve a number of sweeps if averaging is ON or if the measurement uses multiple set-points, otherwise just one sweep if averaging is OFF) and measurement results will be displayed. The measurement will then enter the “idle” state.
CONTINUOUS–the measurement run continuously, displaying the measurement results after each trigger cycle. The “idle” state will not be entered.
Pressing this menu key will start the measurement if it is in the “idle” state, or will follow the procedure detailed in the following table if it is in a measurement (trigger) cycle.

terminate and return to the idle state after current trigger cycle
If the number of averages (K) is altered during a measurement, the new value of K will be used the next time K it is used in any calculation. Note that this will not cause the measurement to restart.
Pause / Resume Measurement
If the ‘Pause’ menu key is pressed during a measurement, the “paused” state is. The measurement can be resumed by pressing the same menu key, which will now be labeled ‘Resume’. The ‘Restart’ front-panel key may also be used to start the measurement from the beginning.
When in the paused state, the analyzer will not sweep. As a result, any trace visible on the display will remain unchanged.
