Chapter 1 Overview

1.1 Product Overview

MS269x Series, MS2830A, or MS2850A Signal Analyzer enables high-speed, high-accuracy, and simple measurements of transmission characteristics of base stations and mobile stations for various mobile communications types. The MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A, MS2830A or MS2850A is equipped with high-performance signal analyzer and spectrum analyzer functions as standard, with optional measurement software allowing modulation analysis functionality supporting various digital modulation modes.

The MX269022A LTE TDD Downlink Measurement Software (hereinafter referred to as MX269022A) is a software option for measuring the RF characteristics of LTE TDD (Frame structure type 2) downlink signal specified by 3GPP, TS36.211 V8.6.0 (2009-03) Physical Channels and Modulation (Release 8).

The MX269022A provides the following measurement features.

Modulation accuracy measurement



Carrier frequency measurement



Transmitter power measurement



MS2830A-005/105 and MS2830A-006/106 is required to use the MX269022A on MS2830A.

2.4 Initialization and Calibration

This section describes the parameter settings and the preparations required before starting measurement.

2.4.1 Initialization

After selecting this application, first perform initialization. Initialization returns the settable parameters to their default value in order to clear the measurement status and measurement results.

Note:

When another software application is switched to or this application is unloaded (ended), the application keeps the parameter settings at that time. The parameter values that were last set will be applied when this application is selected next time.

2.4.2 Calibration

The initialization procedure is as follows.

1. Press

2. Press

Perform calibration before performing measurement. Calibration sets the level accuracy frequency characteristics for the input level to flat, and adjusts level accuracy deviation caused by internal temperature fluctuations. Calibration should be performed when first performing measurement after turning on power, or if beginning measurement when there is a difference in ambient temperature from the last time calibration was performed.

3.1.3 Performing Measurement

There are two measurement modes: single and continuous. Measurement is performed once in the single measurement mode, and continuously in the continuous measurement mode.

Single Measurement

After capturing an input signal based upon the settings of Capture Time, the selected measurement items are measured only for the measurement count (Storage Count) before measurement is stopped.

Continuous Measurement

Note:

This application is for frame synchronizing the Reference or Synchronization signals (determined by Synchronization Mode settings) included in 10 Downlink subframes (5 frames max.).

If Signal Abnormal is displayed, consider the following possible causes. Check the input signal parameter settings and try to measure again.

(1) The Carrier Frequency Settings do not match the input signal

carrier frequency.

(2) The input level is too low for the Input Level setting.

(3) The Synchronization Mode is set to Synchronization Signal but there

is no Synchronization Signal in the input signal.

(4) The Synchronization Mode is set to Reference Signal but the set Cell

ID is different from the input signal.

QPSK Analyzes an input signal as a QPSK modulated signal. 16QAM Analyzes an input signal as a 16QAM modulated signal. 64QAM Analyzes an input signal as a 64QAM modulated signal. 256QAM Analyzes an input signal as a 256QAM modulated signal. AUTO Analyzes an input signal after judging its modulation

scheme automatically (Excluding 256QAM) (Default).

Note:

If DwPTS is included in the measurement target, sometimes auto detection is not performed correctly because the PDSCH count included in DwPTS is too small. In this case, set any of QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM, and 256QAM to the PDSCH Modulation Scheme matching the input signal.

Assuming EVM Window Length is W, the EVM Window for the FFT size from the point (Cyclic prefix center – W/2) or (Cyclic prefix center + W/2) is applied to OFDM symbol.

EVM Low indicates the measurement result when applying EVM Window from the point (Cyclic prefix center – W/2); EVM High indicates the measurement result when applying EVM Window from the point (Cyclic prefix center + W/2). Finally, the EVM result is uses the larger of the larger of the EVM High and EVM Low values.

When the Trace Mode is set to Summary, this displays the numeric results on the multiple pages at the bottom of the screen. The pages are switched using Page Number.

This switches the type of results displayed in Summary.

Procedure

Range 1 to 17 Default 1

The following types of results are displayed in Summary.

(1) Symbol Clock Error [ppm]

(Page Number)

This is the Symbol Clock Error.

Refer to section 3.6.4 Main Numeric Results for results other than the above.

Page 1: List of EVM and Power for Each Channel

This is the averaged EVM and Power in the analyzed interval. The target is all physical channels and physical signals set by Include at Total EVM Calculation and DwPTS.

Page 2: Total EVM

This is the averaged EVM is the analysis interval. The target is all physical channels and physical signals set by Include at Total EVM Calculation and DwPTS.

Page 3: PDSCH ALL EVM

This is the averaged EVM is the analysis interval. The target is all QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM and 256QAM-modulated PDSCH.

Page 4: PDSCH QPSK EVM

This is the averaged EVM is the analysis interval. The target is PDSCH modulated by QPSK.
