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).

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:
❏ Channel Power
❏ Code Domain Power
❏ Modulation Accuracy (Rho)
❏ Monitor Channel/Band
❏ Occupied Bandwidth
❏ Out of Band Spurious
❏ Receive Channel Power
❏ Receiver Spurious
❏ Spur Close (In Band Spurious)
❏ Spurs at Harmonics
Chapter 1 1-5
Understanding cdmaOne
What Does the cdmaOne Measurement Personality and Hardware Do?
In addition to the measurements listed above, the cdmaOne mode
provides or uses the following supplemental functions:
❏ Selection between format specifications
❏ External attenuation and gain compensation
❏ Automatic frequency/channel determination based on user-entered
channel number or channel frequency
❏ Automatic signal level detection and analyzer setup
❏ External reference configuration and control
❏ Save and recall mode state (Mode is the operation mode of the
instrument. For example SA = Spectrum Analyzer or
cdmaOne = cdmaOne measurement personality.)
❏ Storing/printing of results internally or directly to a floppy disk in
spreadsheet (.csv) format

listed. In addition, some measurements require certain options and
other measurements are enhanced by certain options.
Table 2-2 lists the measurements provided by the BAC option and the
options required or recommended for the measurements. For optimum
performance of cdmaOne measurements, Option B74 should be
installed in your Agilent ESA-E Series Spectrum Analyzer.
Not all of the options can be installed by the user. Some of the options
require that the instrument be returned to the factory or an Agilent
Technologies service center. In addition, some of the options require
Performance Verification and Adjustments to be performed after
installation. Refer to Table 2-2 for option specific information.

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. After successfully installing the firmware update,
proceed with the following instructions for installing the measurement
personalty software in your instrument.

Installing Personality/Software Options
This procedure gives steps to install a new software option in an ESA-E
Series Spectrum Analyzer using the internal floppy drive of the
instrument. Screen messages display the update progress and give
directions. The instrument will not need to be re-calibrated after this
procedure since no changes are made to calibration or adjustment files.
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”
on page 2-11.
When you have completed entering the license key number, continue
with the next step.
2. Insert disk one of the installation disk set into the disk drive located
on the right side of the ESA front panel.
3. Press
System, More, Personalities, and Install. The instrument will
then load the installer off of the floppy drive. If there is no floppy in
the drive, the incorrect diskis inserted,or thereis no installer on the
disk, the error “No install disk present in disk drive” will be shown.
Once the instrument has loaded the installer, the screen will change
to the installer screen and the
