Specifications

Specifications apply under the following conditions:
30 minutes warm-up time at ambient temperature, specified environmental conditions met, calibration cycle adhered to and

all internal adjustments performed. Data designated "overrange", "underrange" and data without tolerance limits is not
binding.

EMC specifications are tested with properly shielded cables and accessories (e.g. mouse and keypad). To prevent
degradation of these specifications, the user is responsible for using appropriate equipment.

In compliance with the 3GPP standard, chip rates are specified in Mcps (million chips per second), whereas bit rates and symbol rates
are specified in kbps (thousand bits per second) or ksps (thousand symbols per second). Mcps, kbps and ksps are not SI units.

In downlink mode, the P-CCPCH (BCCH with running SFN) and up to three DPCHs can
be generated in realtime. All other channels (frame-cycle control channels such as
SCH, OCNS simulation, other base stations, etc) can be added via the ARB. In uplink
mode, one mobile station can be simulated in realtime (PRACH, PCPCH or DPCCH
and up to 6 DPDCHs); further mobile stations (three user-configured and up to 64 of
identical mode) can be simulated via the ARB and added to the realtime signal.

The sequence length of the ARB component can be entered in frames (10 ms each);
the max. length depends on chip rate, mode and in some cases on oversampling.
