Section "Trace Selection and Setup" of the operating manual was extended to include the selection of the trace averaging mode.

TRACE 1 right side menu:

AVG MODE

LOG LIN

The AVERAGE LIN/LOG softkey switches between linear and logarithmic averaging in case of logarithmic level display. In case of logarithmic averaging, the dB values of the display voltage are averaged, in case of linear averaging the level values in dB are converted into linear voltages or powers prior to averaging. These voltages or powers are averaged and then again converted into level values.

For stationary sinewave signals the two averaging methods yield the same result.

Logarithmic averaging is recommended if sinewave signals are to clearly stand out against the noise since, with this averaging, noise suppression is greater while the sinewave signals remain unchanged.

IEC/IEEE command :[SENSe<1|2>:]AVERage:TYPE VIDeo|LINear

This softkey is also available for GSM application firmware FSE-K10/K11 in

Power vs Time and Carrier Power measurements.

Structure of the ASCII file:

The file consists of the header containing important measurement and scaling parameters and a data section containing the trace data. The data of the file header consist of three columns, each separated by a semicolon: parameter name; numeric value; basic unit The data section starts with the keyword " Trace <n> " (<n> = number of stored trace), followed by the measured data in one or several columns (depending on measurement) which are also separated by a semicolon. This format can be read in from spreadsheet calculation programs, e.g. MS-Excel. It is necessary to define ';' as a separator.

The %THD ON/OFF softkey activates the THD measurement (= similar to SINAD measurement, but result displayed in %) for the main modulation signal.

Irrespective of the signal applied, the main modulation signal is compared with the main modulation signal which is filtered by a 1-kHz notch filter. The display unit is %.

When a signal modulated with 1 kHz is applied, the %THD value is thus displayed correctly. Default setting is THD OFF.

With REAL TIME OFF (no real-time demodulation) no %THD measurement is possible, the softkey cannot be operated.

Notes for Vector Analyzer Operating Mode

Adaptations for EDGE - Measurement with receiver filter

The EDGE measurement with a receiver filter and the EVM calculation are performed according to ETSI-TDOC SMG2 829/99 / ANNEX H. This specified filter is effective in all display and measurement modes. Since it is a lowpass filter intersymbol-interference-free (ISI-free) points no

longer occur in the display modes such as constellation diagram and vector diagram. In addition, the sync sequences provided in the unit were adapted by inverting the bits.

Note: If measurements are to be performed without a receiver filter, deactivate digital standard

EDGE (e.g. by switching from modulation parameter, meas filter from edge_mes to egde_ref and back to edge_mes).

New Operating Mode 3GPP Base Station Test (Application Firmware FSIQK72)

Signal Analyzer FSIQ equipped with Application Firmware FSIQK72 performs code domain power measurements on downlink signals according to standard 3GPP (FDD mode). The application firmware is in line with standard 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) with version release 99. In addition to the code domain measurements prescribed by the standard 3GPP, the application offers measurements with predefined settings in the frequency domain, e.g. power, ACLR and CCDF measurement.

The following hardware is required for using FSIQ in combination with option FSIQK72 (order no.:

1126.4746.02):

- Option FSIQB70 – Extended I/Q memory and DSP module

- Module I/Q Demodulator: model index 05 (order no.: 1066.2520.05)

Operating mode 3GPP base station test is described in a separate software manual. Please note, that the timing offset of the S-CCPCH-Channels of some of the testmodels in chapter 4 is wrong. It has to be 0 instead of 150. The correct value 0 is used in the predefined channel tables in the firmware.

New Extension for Operating Mode 3GPP Base Station Test: HSDPA (Application Firmware FSIQK74)

FSIQK74 is an add-on to FSIQK72 to support HSDPA channels (see FSIQK72). The option is described in the FSIQK72 manual.

New Operating Mode 3GPP Mobile Station Test (Application Firmware FSIQK73)

Signal Analyzer FSIQ equipped with Application Firmware FSIQK73 performs code domain power measurements on uplink signals according to standard 3GPP (FDD mode). The application firmware is in line with standard 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) with version release 99. In addition to the code domain measurements prescribed by the standard 3GPP, the application offers measurements with predefined settings in the frequency domain, e.g. power, ACLR and CCDF measurement.

The following hardware is required for using FSIQ in combination with option FSIQK73 (order no.:

1153.1009.02):

- Option FSIQB70 – Extended I/Q memory and DSP module

- Module I/Q Demodulator: model index 05 (order no.: 1066.2520.05)

Operating mode 3GPP mobile station test is described in a separate software manual.

FSIQK73: Modified sweeptime for higher measurement accuracy

Within the SPECTRUM EMISSION measurement the default sweeptime has been changed to two seconds in order to reach a higher measurement accuracy. The sweeptime can be manually changed by the user.

FSIQK73: Extended range for scrambling code

The range for the scrambling code now reaches from 0 to 0xFFFFFF (0 .. 224 –1). In FW release 4.20 the range was 0 to 0xFFFFF (0 .. 220 –1), in earlier versions it was 0 .. 0xFFFF (0 .. 216 –1).

New Application Firmware Extensions FSE-K30 and FSE-K31 for Operating Modes GSM and EDGE Mobile and Base Station Tests

FW extension FSE-K30/FSE-K31 provides measurements in the new 850 MHz GSM band for options FSE-K10/FSE-K20 or FSE-K11/FSE-K21.

Operating Mode FSIQK71: Frequency Offset and Level Offset are maintained

When switching between the different measurements of application FSIQK71, not only the center frequency and reference level are maintained as stated in the operating manual, but also the center frequency offset and reference level offset.

Operating Modes FSIQK71, FSIQK72 and FSIQK73: Changed Settings for Time Domain Measurements

In Time Domain measurement, the RMS detector is selected for trace1, not the SAMPLE detector as stated in the operating manual.

Input Attenuation 0 dB can no longer be set via Roll-key

In order to prevent the input attenuation from being inadvertently switched off, value 0 dB can only be set via manual input. The input attenuation can only be reduced up to 10 dB via roll-key or UP/DOWN keys.

New and Extended IEEE-Bus Commands

Modification of Commands for GSM/EDGE Applications:

:CONFigure[:BTS]:LIMit:PPEak <numeric_value>

This command determines the phase error limits in degrees for the phase/frequency measurement (peak value).

Example: ":CONF:LIM:PPE 66"

Features: *RST value: depends on selected standard

SCPI: device specific

Mode: BTS

For firmware 4.20 and higher, the query :CONFigure[:BTS]:LIMit:PPEak? reads out the error limits currently used in the measurement. I.e., if the standard limits are used, these limits are read out, and if the user limits are used, the set user limits are read out. For firmware versions < 4.20, always the user limits were read out even if the standards limits were used. This modification also applies to the following commands:

:CONFigure[:BTS]:LIMit:PRMS :CONFigure[:BTS]:LIMit:EVMRms :CONFigure[:BTS]:LIMit:EVMPeak :CONFigure[:BTS]:LIMit:OSUPpress :CONFigure[:BTS]:LIMit:PERCentile :CONFigure[:BTS]:LIMit:FREQuency :CONFigure[:MS]:LIMit:PPEak :CONFigure[:MS]:LIMit:PRMS :CONFigure[:MS]:LIMit:EVMRms :CONFigure[:MS]:LIMit:EVMPeak :CONFigure[:MS]:LIMit:OSUPpress :CONFigure[:MS]:LIMit:PERCentile :CONFigure[:MS]:LIMit:FREQuency

Correction of the Operating Manual:

For the following commands, the correct *RST value is given below:

:CONFigure[:BTS]:NETWork:PHASe :CONFigure[:MS]:NETWork:PHASe

These commands select the phase of the standard according to which the base/mobile station will work.

Example: ":CONF:NETW:PHAS 2"

Option FSIQB70 has a storage capacity of 512 K for the real and imaginary part. The data is stored to the memory with a sampling rate of 25.6 MHz which results in a maximum record length of approx. 20 ms. The 10 MHz IF filter is always active during recording. This filter is equalized with respect to magnitude and phase at a bandwidth of 8 MHz prior to data output.

A resampling of data at the user-defined sampling rate follows. No further band limiting is performed prior to resampling. The user has to take care that the sampling rate is high enough to satisfy the Nyquist criterion.

FREE RUN, EXTERN and VIDEO are available as the trigger sources. Like in vector analysis, the slope can also be determined for external trigger and video trigger and a time offset of the trigger time with respect to the output signal can be defined.

The output signal consists of a list of sampling values which are transmitted via the IEC/IEEE bus. The real parts are read first followed by the complete list of imaginary parts. The FORMAT command allows to select either binary output (32 bit IEEE 754 floating point) or ASCII output. The binary format is recommended for long data records because of the shorter transmission times.

TRACe:IQ:DATA?

This command starts a measurement with the parameters specified with command TRACe:IQ:SET and directly outputs the results. The number of result samples depends on the parameters specified with TRACe:IQ:SET , the data format is determined in the FORMat – subsystem.

Results: The results are available in linear form. Their unit is mV.

ASCII format (FORMat ASCII):

A list of values separated by commas is returned in floating point format (comma-separated values = CSV). The number of results is twice as high as the number of recorded samples, with the first half showing the real parts and the second half the imaginary parts.

Binary format (FORMat REAL,32):

In this case, the command returns binary data (definite length block data according to IEEE 488.2), with the real parts and then the imaginary parts being transmitted in the 32-bit IEEE 754 floating point format.

Example:

#41024<I-value1><I-value2>...<I-value128><Q-value1><Q-value2>...<Q-value128> where: #4 digits of the data length (in this case: 4)

1024 length of following data in bytes (in this case: 1024) <I-value x> 4-byte floating point real part <Q-value y> 4-byte floating point imaginary part

The number of complex output values is calculated from the record length multiplied by the output data rate. The result has to be rounded down.

For long record times combined with a high sample rate the result is cut to a maximum of 524200 Samples.

:TRACe:IQ:DMEanmax?

This command reads out the I/Q data. It starts the same measurement as command

TRACe<1|2>:IQ:DATA? but adds the mean and peak signal power in µWatt at the end of the

results list.

Example: ":TRAC:IQ:DME?"

Features: *RST value: -

SCPI: device specific

Mode: A, VA, BTS, MS The number of result samples depends on the parameters specified with TRACe:IQ:SET , the data

format is determined in the FORMat – subsystem (ASCII or binary).

:TRACe:IQ:SET <data type >,<bw>,<sample rate>,<trigger mode>,<trigger slope>,

The most important parameters for recording the IQ data are determined by means of this command.

Parameters:

<data type>: RAW The data are neither RX-filtered nor is an internal phase or

frequency correction performed. Only the frequency response of the internal analog filters is corrected in amplitude and phase. This is currently the sole type of data available.

<bw>: 8MHz The bandwidth with which the IQ data are recorded. Currently,

only the 8 MHz setting is possible. This corresponds to a baseband width of 4 MHz. If an output sample rate is selected that does not satisfy the Nyquist theorem, the user has to take care

that the signal applied is band-limited appropriately. <sample rate>: The output sample rate of IQ data. Freely selectable between 40 kHz and 32 MHz. <trigger mode>: This parameter selects the trigger source for starting data recording. Possible values: IMMediate, EXTernal, VIDeo The parameter defined here can be changed any time by means of

TRIGger:SOURce. If a change of the trigger threshold is required, the TRIGger:LEVel command can be used.

<trigger slope>: This parameter selects the slope of the trigger signal for external trigger

and video trigger. Possible values: POSitive, NEGative The parameter defined here can be changed any time by means of

TRIGger:SLOPe. <trigger offset>: This parameter defines the length of the trigger delay. A negative value

ensures that the first samples output are prior to the trigger event.

Possible values: -590 µs to 2.5 ms

The parameter defined here can be changed any time by means of

TRIGger:HOLDoff.

<record length>: Length of data record to be recorded. Possible values: 1µs to 20.4 ms

For long record times combined with a high sample rate the result is cut to

a maximum of 524200 Samples without further warnings.

:TRACe:IQ[:STATe] ON|OFF

This command switches IQ data recording on or off. Since IQ data recording is not compatible with other measurement functions, the latter are switched off as long as the IQ data recording function is active. As long as the function is active, no results will be output on the screen.

Example: TRAC:IQ ON

Features: *RST value: OFF

SCPI: device-specific

Mode: A, VA, BTS, MS

As long as IQ data recording is active, only the following IEC/IEEE bus commands should be used:

TRACe:IQ:SET to specify the most important settings TRACe:IQ:DATA? to trigger a measurement FREQuency:CENTer to change the center frequency DISPlay:TRACe:Y:RLEVel to change the reference level FORMat to change the format of output data

INPut subsystem to change the settings of attenuator and input impedance To change the trigger settings:

TRIGger:SOURce IMM|EXT|VID trigger source TRIGger:LEVel trigger threshold TRIGger:HOLDoff trigger delay TRIGger:SLOPe trigger slope SENSe:DDEMod:SBANd to invert the sideband

The commands TRACe:IQ:STATe OFF and *RST deactivate IQ data recording.

STATus QUEStionable:SYNC Register

This register comprises information about sync and burst events as well as about the error situation in the code domain power measurement of options FSIQK71/K72/K73. It can be queried with commands STATus:QUEStionable:SYNC:CONDition? and "STATus :QUEStionable:SYNC[:EVENt]?.

Meaning of bits in STATus:QUEStionable:SYNC register

Bit No. Meaning

0 BURSt not found

This bit is set if a burst was not found.

1 SYNC not found

This bit is set if the sync sequence of midamble was not found.

2 No carrier

This bit is set if the carrier power determined in the pre-measurement is 20 dB below of the expected signal power (options FSE-K10/ FSE-K11).

User Defined Limit Lines via the Remote-control Interface with GSM BTS ANALYZER and GSM MS ANALYZER, Options FSE-K10 and FSE-K11

If user-defined limit lines are to be remote-controlled in applications K10/K11, the following should be observed:

• Limit lines can be created with the commands of the basic unit (CALC:LIM subsystem). Lines

created in such a way are available as limit line files in the unit and cannot be distinguished from the "normal" limit lines.

• A user-defined limit line should meet certain criteria (example: Frequency Domain should be

selected for the transient spectrum measurement of K11) so that it can be used for a specific K10/K11 measurement. If an attempt is made to activate a non-compatible line, the unit returns the error message "-221, settings conflict".

• K10/K11 measurements require either no limit line or one (spurious, transient spectrum,

modulation spectrum) or two limit lines (power vs time measurement). To ensure that measurements are performed as expected, select and activate at least the required number of limit lines (commands CALC1:LIM1:NAM and CALC1:LIM1:STATE) when using user-defined limit lines. It is not possible to activate a user-defined limit line, e.g. in the power vs time measurement, and then assume that the application will automatically select the second line to standard.

• Suffix 1 is always to be used for measurements with one line: CALC1:LIM1 !

• For measurements with two lines, suffix 1 is to be used for lower limits and suffix 2 for upper limits.

• After selection and activation of the required number of limit lines, it is possible to activate the use

of user-defined lines with command CONF:BTS:LIM:STAN OFF (K11) or CONF:MS:LIM:STAN OFF (K10).

• It is recommended not to use the names of lines for the limit line standard (e.g. DC_BNL and

DC_BNU) as names of user-defined limit lines in order to make the query of limit line characteristics

unambiguous.
