Firmware R&S FS-K85
When configured with the Application Firmware R&S FS-K85, the analyzer performs
code domain power measurements on reverse link signals (mobile station) on the
asis of the 3GPP2 Standard (Third Generation Partnership Project 2) "cdma2000
b
High Rate Packet Data". This standard, which was defined for packet-oriented data
transmission, is generally referred to as 1xEV-DO (First EV
referred to as such in the R&S FS-K85 application firmware.
In the standard, the term "Access Network" (AN) is used for the base station and the
term "Access Terminal" (AT) for the mobile terminal. In order to retain a degree of
similarity with the cdma2000 BTS and cdma2000 MS application firmware, the term
referring to the mobile station is also used in the 1xEV-DO FS-K85 application
firmware.
The 1xEV-DO BTS application firmware is based on the "CDMA2000 High Rate Packet Data Air Interface Specification" (version C.S0024 V3.0 from December
2001) and the "Recommended Minimum Performance Standards for CDMA2000 High Rate Packet Data Access Terminal" (version C.S0032-0 V1.0 from December

Instrument damage caused by disregarding the following precautions!
Any non-compliance with the following precautions may cause damage to the
instrument. Prior to putting the instrument into operation, check the following:
8The covers of the housing are in place and screwed on.
8Vents are not obstructed. Make sure that the air can escape freely through the
vents at the sides. The minimum distance to the wall should therefore be at least
10 cm.
8The signal levels at the inputs do not exceed permissible limits.
8The outputs of the instrument are not overloaded or incorrectly connected.
This particularly applies to the maximum permissible back-feed at the outputs,
which is specified in the data sheet
8The ambient temperature must not exceed the range specified in the data sheet.
This chapter describes the default settings of the analyzer for operation as a 1xEV-DO
mobile station tester. A condition that has to be met before measurements can start is
that the analyzer is correctly configured and supplied with power, as described in
Chapter 1 of the operating manual for the basic unit. Furthermore, Application
Firmware R&S FS-K85 must be enabled. Chapter 1 of this manual describes how to

are defined for the various operating modes. These tables are listed below. Should
channels other than those that appear in the predefined channel tables of the firmware
application be used, the original tables should be copied and the channels adapted in
the copy. (See the CHAN CONF hotkey on page 70.)

Fig. 6 Overview of menus in Application Firmware R&S FS-K85
The code domain analyzer can produce different kinds of results. These can be
selected by means of the RESULTS hotkey. The SETTINGS hotkey can be used to
configure the application firmware. The capture length or the band class can be set in
this menu, for example. The CHAN CONF hotkey sets the channel search mode for
the code domain analyzer. Users can also define their own channel tables.
The MEAS hotkey is identical to the MEAS key (right on the front panel) and is used to
select the different RF measurements or the code domain analyzer.

6Configuration of 1xEV-DO Measurements
The most important measurements of the 1xEV-DO specification for mobile stations
can be selected by means of the MEAS hotkey and MEAS key. They are explained
below with reference to the softkey functions.
The CODE DOM ANALYZER softkey activates the code domain analyzer and takes
you to the submenus for selecting the results. Changing the assignment of the hotkey
bar when switching over to the application ensures that the most important parameters
of the code domain analyzer can be directly accessed on the hotkey bar.
The softkeys POWER, ACLR, SPECTRUM EM MASK, OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH, and STATISTICS enable mobile station measurements with predefined settings, which are
performed in SPECTRUM mode of the basic unit. The measurements are performed
with the parameters contained in the 1xEV-DO specification. Subsequent alteration of
the settings is possible.
MEAS key or MEAS hotkeys
The MEAS hotkey or the MEAS key opens a submenu for selecting measurements:
8POWER activates channel power measurement with defined defaults in
SPECTRUM mode.
8ACLR activates adjacent channel power measurement with defined defaults in
SPECTRUM mode.
8SPECTRUM EM MASK compares the signal power in different offset ranges of the
carrier with the maximum values laid down in the 1xEV-DO specification.
8OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH activates measurement of the bandwidth occupied by
the signal.
8CODE DOM ANALYZER activates the code domain analyzer and opens another
menu for choosing the results. All other menus of the analyzer are adapted to the
functions of the code domain analyzer mode. The code domain analyzer is
described in a separate chapter starting on page 51.
8STATISTICS evaluates the signal with regard to its statistical characteristics
(distribution function of the signal amplitudes).
6.1 Measurement of channel power
POWER
The POWER softkey enables measurement of the channel power of the 1xEV-DO
signal.
The analyzer measures the RF signal power in the 1.2288 MHz bandwidth. The power
is calculated by summation of the values at the trace points. The bandwidth and the
associated channel power are displayed beneath the measurement screen.

ADJUST SETTINGS
The ADJUST SETTINGS softkey automatically optimizes analyzer settings for the selected
power measurement. All analyzer settings relevant for power measurements within a
specific frequency range (channel bandwidth) are optimally set depending on the
channel configuration (channel bandwidth, channel spacing).
8Frequency span:
-The frequency span must include at least the channels to be analyzed.

-The span setting for adjacent channel power measurement depends on the
channel spacing and channel bandwidth of the adjacent channel ADJ, ALT1 or
ALT2 furthest from the transmission channel.
The trace mathematics and trace averaging functions are switched off.
The reference level is not influenced by ADJUST SETTINGS. It has to be set
eparately by means of ADJUST REF LVL.
s
Adjustment is performed once; if necessary, the instrument settings can be modified
afterwards.
Remote: SENS:POW:ACH:PRES ACP|CPOW|OBW
With manual setting of the measurement parameters deviating from that performed
with ADJUST SETTINGS, the following must be borne in mind for the different
parameters:
Frequency span
The frequency span must include at least all channels to be measured.
This is the channel bandwidth when channel power is measured.
If the frequency span is large compared with the analyzed frequency section (or
frequency sections), only a few pixels on the trace are available for the measurement.
Resolution bandwidth (RBW)
To ensure an acceptable sampling rate and also the necessary selection (for inhibiting
spectral components outside the channel you want to measure, especially the adjacent
channels), the resolution bandwidth must be selected so that it is neither too small nor
too large. As a rule of thumb, the resolution bandwidth should to be set to between 1%
and 4% of the channel bandwidth. A larger resolution bandwidth can be set if the
spectrum within and around the channel you want to measure has a flat characteristic.
Video bandwidth (VBW)
For a correct power measurement, the video signal must not be limited in terms of
bandwidth. A restricted band of the logarithmic video signal would result in averaging
and thus in too small an indication of the power (-2.51 dB for very small video
bandwidths). The video bandwidth should therefore be at least three times the
resolution bandwidth.
The ADJUST SETTINGS softkey sets the video bandwidth (VBW) as a function of the
channel bandwidth as follows:
VBW 3 × RBW.
Detector
The ADJUST SETTINGS softkey selects the RMS detector.
The RMS detector is selected because it always indicates the power correctly irrespective
of the characteristics of the signal you want to measure. Generally speaking, the sample
detector would also be possible. However, this would lead to more unstable results due to
Software Manual 1300.6708.42 - 05 33

Measurement of adjacent channel power - ACLR
the limited number of trace pixels for calculating the power in the channel. Averaging,
which is often performed to stabilize the measurement results, produces a level display that
is too low and must therefore be avoided. The reduction in the displayed power depends
on the number of averages and the signal characteristics in the channel you want to
measure.
SWEEP TIME
The SWEEP TIME softkey activates entry of the sweep time. A longer sweep time
results in more stable measurement results with the RMS detector.
This setting is identical to the SWEEP TIME MANUAL setting in the BW menu.
Remote: SWE:TIM <value>
NOISE CORR ON/OFF
The NOISE CORR ON/OFF softkey enables correction of the measurement results by
the instrument's inherent noise, thus raising the dynamic response.
When the function is enabled, a reference measurement of the instrument's inherent
noise is first made. The measured noise power is then subtracted from the power in
the channel being analyzed. The inherent noise of the instrument depends on the
selected center frequency, resolution bandwidth and level setting. Correction is
therefore disabled whenever one of these parameters is changed, and an appropriate
message appears on the screen.
To reactivate correction of the inherent noise with the changed setting, press the
softkey once more. A new reference measurement is then made.
Remote: SENS:POW:NCOR ON | OFF
FAST ACLR
The FAST ACLR softkey toggles between measurement by the IBW method (FAST
ACLR OFF) and the time domain method (FAST ACLR ON).
With FAST ACLR ON, the power is measured in the various channels in the time
domain. The analyzer adjusts its center frequency to the different channel center
frequencies in sequence and measures the power there with the set measuring time
(i.e. sweep time/number of measured channels). The RBW filters suitable for the
selected standard and frequency offset are used automatically.
The RMS detector is used for correct power measurement. This means that software
correction factors are not necessary.
Measured values are displayed in a table; the power in the useful channel is specified in
dBm and the power in the adjacent channels in dBm (ACLR ABS) or dB (ACLR REL).
Selection of the sweep time (= measurement time) depends on the required
reproducibility of the measurement results. The longer the selected sweep time, the
better the reproducibility of the measurement results will be since the power is
measured over a longer period of time.
As a rule of thumb, it can be assumed for a reproducibility of 0.5 dB (99% of the
measurements are within 0.5 dB of the true measured value) that approximately 500

uncorrelated measured values are necessary (applies to white noise). The measured
values are assumed to be uncorrelated when their spacing in time corresponds to the
reciprocal value of the measurement bandwidth (= 1/BW).
With 1xEV-DO the measurement bandwidth is 10 kHz, i.e. measured values at an interval
of 10 Ps are assumed to be uncorrelated. Thus a measurement time (sweep time) of 50 ms
per channel is required for 500 measured values. This is the default sweep time which the
analyzer sets in coupled mode. Approximately 5000 measured values (i.e. the
measurement time has to be extended to 500 ms) are required for a reproducibility of
0.1 dB (99% of all measurements are within 0.1 dB of the true measured values).

ADJUST REF LVL
The ADJUST REF LVL softkey adjusts the reference level of the analyzer to the
measured channel power. This ensures that the settings of the RF attenuation and the
reference level are optimally adjusted to the signal level without the analyzer being
overloaded or the dynamic response being limited by too low a signal-to-noise ratio.
Since the measurement bandwidth is distinctly narrower for channel power
measurements than the signal bandwidth, the signal branch can be overloaded, even
though the trace is still well below the reference level.

EDIT ACLR LIMIT
The default settings of limits are defined at the start of the adjacent channel power
measurement as a function of the selected band class (see the BAND CLASS softkey),
as in the tables on page 31. Similarly, the values in these tables are restored if the
band class is changed. After the band class has been selected, a table can be opened
in the ACLR measurement, however, by means of the EDIT ACLR LIMITS softkey and
the limits for the ACLR measurement can be modified in the table.
A limit value can be defined for each of the adjacent channels. The limit value applies
to both the upper and lower adjacent channel.
A relative limit and/or an absolute limit can be defined. The check can be activated
separately for the two limit values.
Compliance with active limit values is checked irrespective of whether absolute or
relative limits are specified or whether the measurement itself is performed with
absolute levels or a relative level ratio. If both checks are active and if the higher of the
two limits has been exceeded, the measured value concerned is marked.
Measured values which violate the limit are preceded by an asterisk and highlighted in

CHANNEL BANDWIDTH
The CHANNEL BANDWIDTH softkey activates entry of the channel bandwidth for the
transmission channel.
The useful channel bandwidth is normally determined by the transmission procedure.
With 1xEV-DO, measurements are performed at the default setting with a channel
bandwidth of 1.2288 MHz.
In measurement by the IBW method (FAST ACLR OFF), the channel bandwidth is
represented onscreen by two vertical lines left and right of screen center. This allows a
visual check to determine whether the total power of the signal measured is within the
selected channel bandwidth.
With the time domain method (FAST ACLR ON), the measurement is performed in
zero span. The channel limits are not identified here. The analyzer provides all
available channel filters for selection of the channel bandwidth entry. Any channel
bandwidths deviating from this cannot be set. Should deviating channel bandwidths be
necessary, you should measure by the IBW method.

spacing of the adjacent channel. This means that only one value has to be entered
when channel spacings are identical. The same applies to the ALT2 channel when
entering the spacing of the ALT1 channel.
The ACLR ABS / REL softkey toggles between absolute and relative measurement of
the channel power.
ACLR ABS
The absolute value of the power in the transmission channel and the
adjacent channels is displayed in the units of the y-axis, e.g. dBm, dBµV.
ACLR REL In adjacent channel power measurement (NO. OF ADJ CHAN > 0), the
level of the adjacent channels is displayed relative to the level of the
transmission channel in dBc.
With linear scaling of the y-axis, the relative power (CP/CP
) of the new
ref
channel to the reference channel is displayed. With dB scaling, the
logarithmic ratio 10lg (CP/CP

LIMIT LINE AUTO
The LIMIT LINE AUTO softkey automatically selects the limit line to be checked after the
power in the useful channel has been determined. If the measurement is performed in a
CONTINUOUS SWEEP and the channel power varies from sweep to sweep, this can
result in continuous replotting of the limit line.
The softkey is activated when you enter spectrum emission mask measurement.
Remote: CALC:LIM:ESP:MODE AUTO
The definition of the limit line names is described under the LIMIT LINE USER softkey.
The relative limit lines are relative to the power in the channel (dBc). If both relative
and absolute limits are defined for a frequency range, the resulting line is determined in
the LIMIT LINE AUTO mode according to the "less stringent" criterion. Since these limit
lines are of the 'upper limit line' type, this means that the higher limit in the level is used
for comparison.
The limit is corrected by 10 log RBW - 10 log 30 kHz for limit values which are not
specified for 30 kHz or 1 MHz bandwidth in the standard.
The band classes 0, 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 11 and 12 have the same frequency support points.
Minor modifications exist for band classes 3, 7 and 10 which means that these band
classes have to be defined separately.

power to the channel power and the delta limit to the limit line is shown. As long as the
delta limit is negative, the peak value is below the limit line. A positive delta indicates a
failed value. The results are then colored in red, and a star is indicated at the end of

Since the measurement bandwidth is distinctly narrower for channel power
measurements than the signal bandwidth, the signal branch can be overloaded, even
though the trace is still well below the reference level. When the measured channel
power is identical to the reference level, the signal path is not overloaded.

For this measurement, a signal section of settable length is recorded continuously in a
zero span, and the distribution of the signal amplitudes is evaluated. The recording
length and the display range of the CCDF can be set using the softkeys of the menu.
The amplitude distribution is plotted logarithmically as a percentage of the amount by
which a certain level is exceeded, starting with the mean value of the signal
amplitudes.
In addition, the crest factor, i.e. the difference between the maximum value and the
mean power, is displayed in dB.

6.6 Code domain measurements on 1xEV-DO signals
Application Firmware R&S FS-K85 provides a code domain analyzer. With its help, the
measurements called for in the 1xEV-DO specification in respect of the power of the
different codes and code channels (concentrated codes) can be performed. In addition,
the modulation quality (EVM and RHO factor), frequency errors and trigger-to-frame
time, and also peak-code domain errors are determined. Constellation and bit stream
evaluations are also available. Furthermore the timing and phase offsets of the
channels relative to the pilot can also be calculated (see the TIME/PHASE softkey).
The observation period can be adjusted in multiples of the half slot by means of the
CAPTURE LENGTH softkey. Each half slot has 1024 chips.
Basically, the firmware differentiates between the following result classes for the evaluations:
8Results that take the total signal into account over the whole period of observation
(all half slots)
8Results that take the total signal into account over one half slot
8Results that take one channel into account over the whole period of observation (all
half slots)
8Results that take one channel into account over one half slot
The evaluations of the code domain analyzer are performed on a split screen. The
screen is divided into two halves for this purpose.
The upper half of the screen (Screen A) displays evaluations which vary with respect to
the codes. The lower half of the screen (Screen B) displays all other evaluations.

Fig. 14 Channels in TRAFFIC mode
The TRAFFIC mode has 5 channels:
Reverse Pilot Channel, Reverse Rate Indicator, Reverse Date Channel, Reverse Data
Rate Control Channel and Reverse Acknowledgment Channel. The RRI takes up the first
256 chips of the first half slot and shares its code with the PICH. The ACK is always just
one half slot in length. The DRC is a multiple of slots in length and offset by one half slot.
Depending on the symbol rate of a code channel, the code channel will have a different
spreading factor and a different number of symbols per half slot. The relationship can
be seen in the table below.

Code domain measurements on 1xEV-DO signals
With evaluations on the lower screen where symbols are entered along the x-axis, the
maximum number of symbols varies according to the symbol rate of the selected code
channel.
The code channel and half slot for which a result is to be displayed are selected using the
SELECT CHANNEL and SELECT HALF SLOT softkeys. Let us assume that code channel
2.4 (Walsh code number 2 for spreading factor 4), half slot 3 and Q branch (using SELECT I/Q) have been selected. On Screen A the Code Domain Power evaluation is relative, and
on Screen B the symbol EVM evaluation is active. Screen A will thus display the Code
Domain Power evaluation of half slot 3. In this instance code channel 2.4 is shown selected
in red. In the lower half of the screen, the EVM symbol for evaluation of code channel 2.4 in
half slot 3 with 256 values can be seen.
The code domain analyzer can work in two modes. In CODE CHAN AUTOSEARCH
mode, it performs an automatic search for the following 1xEV-DO and 1xEV-DV channels:
Table 19 Channels in the 1xEV-DO system
Channel Abbreviation Mapping Channel number and spreading
factor
Reverse Pilot Channel PICH I 0.16
Reverse Rate Indicator RRI I 0.16
Reverse Data Channel DATA Q 2.4
Reverse Acknowledgment Channel ACK I 4.8
Reverse Data Rate Control Channel DRC Q 8.16
If the RRI and the PICH are active, it is assumed that for the first 256 chips (1/4 of the half
slot, 1/8 of the entire slot) only the RRI and then the PICH is active in this half slot. If only the
PICH is active (RRI activity 0), the PICH is active for the entire 1024 chips of the half slot.
In the another mode, CODE CHAN PREDEFINED, the user has the option of
determining the active code channels in the signal by means of selectable and editable
tables. The automatic channel search is then replaced by this user entry.

The following user-specific settings are adopted as follows:
External trigger sources are preserved, while all other trigger sources result in FREE RUN mode.
Additional trigger settings are preserved.
To restore adjusted level parameters, they are saved on exiting the code domain analyzer and reset on reentering the code domain analyzer.

CODE DOM POWER
The CODE DOM POWER softkey selects the code domain power (CDP) evaluation
with relative scaling.
In code domain power evaluation, the total signal is considered over precisely one half
slot. The power values of the different codes are determined and plotted in a diagram.
In this diagram, the x-axis is the code number and the y-axis is a logarithmic level axis.
The number of codes on the x-axis is 16. The half slot to be evaluated can be set by
means of the SELECT HALF SLOT softkey. The SELECT I/Q softkey is used to select
the branch to be evaluated.

If the CDP AVG softkey is set to ON, evaluation is not averaged over one individual
half slot but instead over all recorded half slots. The averaged evaluation is a
requirement of the standard and has a special averaging algorithm for the ACK.
The power is referred in the default setting to the total power. This power reference
was selected since the power control always affects all code channels including the
pilot. The power reference can be switched to the power of the pilot using the POWER REF softkey; this allows the power of each code channel to be analyzed relative to the
pilot. Power control does not change these relative results.
Apart from these relative displays, there is also the option of specifying the absolute power.
It can be enabled by means of the CODE PWR ABS/REL softkey. Accordingly, the unit of
the y-axis is dBm for absolute evaluation, dB PICH for relative evaluation with respect to
the pilot, and dB TOT for relative evaluation with respect to the total power.
The power values of the active and unassigned codes are shown in different colors.
Additionally, quasi-inactive codes may also occur. The following colour-coding is used:
yellow Active channel
cyan Unassigned code (neither on I nor Q branch)
magenta Quasi-inactive code (the code on the analyzed branch is inactive, but the
code with the same code number on the other branch belongs to an active
channel)
A channel in CODE CHAN AUTOSEARCH mode (automatic channel search mode) is
referred to as active when the minimum power entered by the user (see the
INACT CHAN THRESHOLD softkey) is exceeded and there is an adequate signal-tonoise ratio. In CODE CHAN PREDEFINED mode, each code channel in the user-
defined channel table is identified as active.
The code domain power evaluation supports two sorting orders: the Hadamard and
BitReverse orders. In Hadamard order, the codes are sorted and displayed in
ascending order: 0.16, 1.16, 2.16, ..., 15.16. The power in the code is displayed for
each code. If there is a code channel in the signal that covers several codes, the
individual power of the codes is displayed. If you wish to read the total power of this
concentrated code channel, you should use BitReverse order.

The CODE DOM ERROR softkey selects evaluation of code domain error power (CDEP).
he code domain error-power measurement reads out the difference in power between
T
measured and ideally generated reference signals for each code in dB. Since it is an error
power, active and inactive channels can be assessed jointly at a glance with this evaluation.
With the code domain error-power evaluation, the total signal is considered over
precisely one half slot and the error powers are determined for the different codes and
plotted in a diagram. In this diagram, the x-axis is the code number and the y-axis a
logarithmic level axis with units of dB. The number of codes on the x-axis is 16. The
half slot to be evaluated can be set by means of the SELECT HALF SLOT softkey. The
SELECT I/Q softkey is used to select the branch to be evaluated.
The power values of the active and unassigned codes are shown in different colors.
Additionally, quasi-inactive codes may also occur. The following colour-coding is used:
8Yellow Active channel
8cyan Unassigned code (neither on I nor Q branch)
8Light green Quasi-inactive code (the code on the analyzed branch is inactive,
but the code with the same code number on the other branch
belongs to an active channel)
A channel in CODE CHAN AUTOSEARCH mode (automatic channel search mode) is
referred to as active when the minimum power entered by the user (see the
INACT CHAN THRESHOLD softkey) is exceeded and there is an adequate signal-tonoise ratio. In CODE CHAN PREDEFINED mode, each code channel in the user-
defined channel table is identified as active.
The code domain error-power evaluation supports two sorting orders: the Hadamard and
BitReverse orders. In Hadamard order, the codes are sorted and displayed in ascending
order: 0.16, 1.16, 2.16, ..., 15.16. The power in the code is displayed for each code.

COMPOSITE EVM
The COMPOSITE EVM softkey selects evaluation of error vector magnitude (EVM)
over the total signal (modulation accuracy).
In the composite EVM measurement, the square root is determined from the error
square between the real and imaginary components of the test signal and an ideally
generated reference signal (EVM referred to the total signal).
The measurement result consists of one composite EVM measurement value per half
slot. You can set the number of half slots by means of the CAPTURE LENGTH
softkey. Subsequently, the COMPOSITE EVM evaluation considers the total signal
over the entire period of observation.
Only the channels detected as active are used to generate the ideal reference signal.
In the case of a channel which is not detected as being active on account of, for
example, low power, the difference between the test/reference signal and the
composite EVM is therefore very large (see the figure).

PEAK CODE DOMAIN ERR
The PEAK CODE DOMAIN ERR softkey selects the evaluation of the peak code
domain error.
With the peak code domain error measurement, there is a projection of the error
between the test signal and the ideally generated reference signal to the base
spreading factor. The unit on the y-axis is dB. The SELECT I/Q softkey is used to
select the branch to be evaluated.
The measurement result consists of one numerical value per half slot for the peak code
domain error. You can set the number of half slots by means of the
CAPTURE LENGTH softkey. Subsequently, peak code domain error evaluation
considers the total signal over the entire period of observation.
Only the channels detected as active are used to generate the ideal reference signal
for peak code domain error. If an assigned code is not detected as active because of
low power, the difference between the test signal and the reference signal is very
large. The R&S FS-K85 therefore shows a peak code domain error that is too high

The top left-hand part shows measurement results which affect the total signal (i.e. all
channels) for the half slot selected using the SELECT HALF SLOT softkey:
Total Power: Specifies the total power of the signal..
Pilot Power: Specifies the pilot power.
RRI Power:
Specifies the RRI power; dashes are displayed if there is no RRI
channel.
RHO:
Specifies the RHO quality parameter. According to the 1xEV-DO
specification, RHO is the normalized, correlated power between the
measured and the ideally generated reference signal. The 1xEV-DO
specification requires that only the pilot channel be input during
measurement of RHO.

Code domain measurements on 1xEV-DO signals
Composite EVM:
The composite EVM value is the difference between the test signal
and the ideal reference signal (see the COMPOSITE EVM softkey).
Pk CDE:
The PEAK CODE DOMAIN ERR measurement specifies a
projection of the difference between the test signal and the ideal
reference signal to spreading factor 16 (see softkeys PEAK CODE DOMAIN ERR). The spreading factor, for which the projection is
made, is specified next to the measured value.
IQ Imbalance: IQ imbalance of the signal in %
IQ Offset: DC offset of the signal in %
The top right-hand part shows measurement results which affect the total signal (i.e. all
channels) for the entire period of observation (i.e. all half slots):
Carrier Freq Error:
Specifies the frequency error referred to the set center frequency of
the analyzer. The absolute frequency error is the sum of the
frequency error of the analyzer and that of the device under test.
Excessive differences between transmitter and receiver frequency
impair synchronization of the CDP measurement. If at all possible,
the transmitter and the receiver should therefore be synchronized to
a common reference frequency (see the chapter "Getting Started").
The frequency error is available both in Hz and in ppm referred to
the carrier frequency.
DELTA RRI/PICH:
This value specifies a logarithmic correlation between RRI and pilot
power. The specification requires that 16 half slots be measured;
this can be adjusted using the CAPTURE LENGTH softkey. The
formula of the standard has been extended to any given number of
half slots.
RHO overall: RHO determined over all half slots.
Trigger to Frame:
This measurement result reproduces the timing offset from the
beginning of the acquired signal section until the start of the first
even-numbered half slot. In the case of triggered data acquisition,
this corresponds to the timing offset frame-trigger (+ trigger-
offset) - start of the first even-numbered half slot. If the analyzer
was not able to synchronize to the 1xEV-DO signal, the value of
Trg to Frame is not meaningful. If the FREE RUN trigger is
selected, dashes (-.--) are shown.
Chip Rate Error:
Specifies the chip rate error (1.2288 Mcps) in ppm. A high chip
rate error causes symbol errors and this may prevent the CDP
measurement from performing synchronization. This
measurement result is valid even if the analyzer was not able to
synchronize to the 1xEV-DO signal.
Active Channels: Specifies the number of active channels found in the signal. The
PICH and RRI each count as an individual channel. (Display for
each half slot).
The bottom part of the RESULT SUMMARY shows the results of measurements on the
selected channel and the selected half slot.
Symbol Rate: Symbol rate with which the channel is transmitted.

If the MAX/MIN HOLD or AVERAGE trace statistics are enabled using the TRACE
hardkey, the values are interlinked accordingly from one evaluation to the next.
The Active Channels, Symbol Rate, Channel.SF and Mapping values are not
statistically interlinked.
In the case of the values which have an expectation value of 0 (Carr Freq Error, Trg to
Frame, IQ Imbal/Offset, Timing and Phase Offset), the maximum value is formed in
such a way that the maximum is sought among the absolute values and then output
with sign. In this way it is possible to determine the largest deviation including the
direction of the deviation. The minimum value is formed in the same way.
CHANNEL TABLE
The CHANNEL TABLE softkey selects channel occupancy table evaluation.
The channel occupancy table can contain a maximum of 33 entries, corresponding to the
highest base spreading factor 16 with both I and Q branch plus the RRI channel. The
Channel Occupancy Table evaluation considers the total signal over precisely one power
control group. The half slot to be evaluated can be set by means of the SELECT HALF SLOT softkey.
The channels are listed in ascending code number order (within a code number: first I
and then Q branch). Unassigned codes are thus always at the end of the table.

The following parameters are determined by CDP measurement for the channels:
Type: Type of channel
Chan.SF:
Number of the channel spreading code
(0 to [spreading factor - 1]) including the spreading factor of the channel
in Chan.SF notation.
Symb Rate:
Symbol rate with which the channel is transmitted
(76.8 ksps to 307.2 ksps)
Map.: Mapping of the channel (I or Q branch)
Status: Status display. Unassigned codes are identified as inactive channels.
Pwr Abs / Pwr Rel:
Specifies the absolute and relative (referred to the PICH or the total
power of signal) power of the channel.
T Offs:
Timing offset. The timing offset between this channel and the pilot channel
can be enabled by means of the TIME/MEAS softkey.
Ph Offs: Phase offset. The phase offset between this channel and the pilot channel
can be enabled by means of the TIME/MEAS softkey.
A data channel in CODE CHAN AUTOSEARCH mode is identified as active if it
exhibits minimum power (see the INACT CHAN THRESHOLD softkey) and adequate
signal-to-noise ratio. In CODE CHAN PREDEFINED mode, all code channels
contained in the channel table are identified as active.
If the TIME/PHASE softkey is set to ON, the maximum value of the TIMING and
PHASE OFFSET is displayed together with the associated channel on the right-hand
side above the channel table. Since the TIMING and PHASE values of each active
channel can be either negative or positive, the absolute values are compared and the
maximum is then displayed with the original sign.

SYMBOL CONST
The SYMBOL CONST softkey selects the evaluation of the constellation diagram at
symbol level.
Evaluation of the symbols is performed for the selected channel (SELECT CHANNEL
softkey) and the selected half slot (SELECT HALF SLOT softkey). This means that this
evaluation considers results of a channel for a half slot.
The SELECT I/Q softkey is used to select the branch to be evaluated.
Evaluation of the constellation diagram is possible for unassigned codes, but the
results are meaningless since unassigned code channels do not contain data.
For orientation, the unit circle is added to the figure.
The SYMBOL EVM softkey selects symbol error vector magnitude evaluation.
Evaluation of the EVM is performed for the selected channel (SELECT CHANNEL
softkey) and the selected half slot (SELECT HALF SLOT softkey). This means that this
evaluation considers results of a channel for a half slot.
Evaluation of the symbol error vector magnitude for unassigned codes is possible, but
the results are not valid.

SET COUNT SET TO ANALYZE
This function offers the possibility for the R&S FSQ to capture up to 3684 half slots
(more than 3 seconds) with a SINGLE SWEEP and then post process all the data with
SET TO ANALYZE.
If the SET COUNT is set to 1 (default value), the device behaves as before and with
the CAPTURE LENGTH the number of half slots can be set.

For
COUNT greater than 1 the CAPTURE LENGTH will be implicitly set to 64 half slots and
become unavailable. The SET COUNT defines then how many SETS of 64 half slots
shall be captured consecutively into the IQ RAM of the R&S FSQ. With the SET TO ANALYZE softkey the set for which the results are calculated can be defined. The
range is from 0... (SET COUNT-1).
A channel is selected using the SELECT CHANNEL softkey. All evaluations that
consider results for a channel specify the results for the newly selected channel:
POWER VS HALF SLOT, POWER VS SYMBOL, RESULT SUMMARY, BITSTREAM,
SYMBOL CONSTELLATION and SYMBOL EVM.
In the evaluations CODE DOM POWER, CODE DOM ERROR POWER and

The CHAN CONF hotkey opens a submenu with configuration options for the channel
search. In this submenu, predefined channel tables can be selected and are then taken
as a basis for measurements by the code domain analyzer.
When the hotkey is clicked, a table containing the channel tables stored on the hard
disk of the measuring instrument is opened. The table is merely an overview; to select
one of the tables for a measurement, you must first press the CODE CHAN PREDEFINED softkey. The RECENT entry is the channel table of the last code
domain power analysis that was performed.
Remote: CONF:CDP:CTAB:CAT?
CODE CHAN AUTOSEARCH
The CODE CHAN AUTOSEARCH softkey supports measurements of the code domain
power analyzer in automatic search mode. This mode searches the entire code domain (all
permissible symbol rates and channel numbers) for active channels. A channel is active
when t he minim um power y ou ent er, ref erre d to th e tota l power , is ex ceed ed (s ee th e INACT
CHAN THRESHOLD softkey) and there is an adequate signal-to-noise ratio.
CODE CHAN AUTOSEARCH is the default search mode with which CDP analysis starts.
It is used primarily to give you an overview of the channels contained in the signal. If the
signal contains channels that are not detected as active in automatic search mode, CDP
analysis can be performed with predefined channel configurations by changing to CODE CHAN PREDEFINED mode.
Remote: CONF:CDP:CTAB:STAT OFF
CODE CHAN PREDEFINED
The CODE CHAN PREDEFINED softkey switches the CDP analysis to the measuring
mode using predefined channel tables. In this mode there is no search for active
channels in the code domain, instead the channels of a channel table defined prior to a
measurement are assumed to be active.
When the softkey is clicked, a table containing all the channel tables stored on the
measuring instrument is opened. The CDP analysis is switched to "Predefined Channel
Table" mode. In this instance, a DEFAULT table containing only the PICH is taken as a
basis. This table is available at the DEFAULT entry.
Switching to one of the predefined channel tables is done by selecting the corresponding
table entry and operating one of the unit keys or by pressing Enter; the selected channel
table is taken as a basis for the evaluation as from the next measurement. A checkmark
indicates the selected channel table.
When the R&S FS-K85 leaves the factory, the channel tables from Chapter 4 on page
24 are stored on the measuring instrument.

As a general rule, each of the channel tables stored on the measuring instrument can be
modified at will. The edited table is not stored automatically on the hard disk of the
measuring instrument but only by selecting the SAVE TABLE softkey. This prevents a table
from being accidentally overwritten (e.g. one of the channel models).
If a table is edited that is currently the basis for code domain power analysis, the edited table
is used for the next measurement immediately after it is saved. The effects of the changes
in the table are therefore immediately visible. Here again, the edited table is not saved on
the hard disk of the measuring instrument until the SAVE TABLE softkey is clicked.
If a table is edited that is stored on the hard disk of the measuring instrument but is not
currently enabled, the changes will not be visible until it has been saved (SAVE TABLE
softkey) and then enabled.
HEADER/VALUES
The HEADER/VALUES softkey sets the focus of the edit option either to the entries in
the table or to the table header.

averaged evaluation is a requirement of the standard and has a special averaging
algorithm for the ACK. The default setting is OFF; the application then behaves in
exactly the same way as 1xEV-DO BTS.
Remote: SENS:CDP:AVER ON | OFF
ORDER HADAM/BITRE
The ORDER HADAM/BITRE softkey allows channel sorting to be defined for the
CODE DOMAIN POWER and CODE DOMAIN ERROR POWER evaluations. With
Hadamard order (softkey set to HADAM), the codes are sorted in ascending order.
With BitReverse order (softkey set to BITRE), channels with concentrated codes are
adjacent to each other since the code numbers are sorted in bit-reversed order. (See
the CODE DOMAIN POWER and CODE DOMAIN ERROR POWER evaluations.)

CODE DOM OVERVIEW
The CODE DOM OVERVIEW softkey is available and can be enabled for the code domain
power and code domain error-power measurements. If Overview mode is activated,
Screen A always displays the I branch and Screen B the Q branch of the CDP and CDEP
evaluation.
emote: SENS:CDP:OVER ON | OFF

SELECT I/Q
The I or Q branch to be evaluated is selected with the SELECT I/Q softkey. The I
branch is selected following a preset.
Remote: SENS:CDP:MAPP I | Q
CODE PWR ABS/REL
The CODE PWR ABS/REL softkey selects for the CODE DOMAIN POWER evaluation
whether the y-values should be displayed as absolute (dBm) or relative (dB). In relative
mode, the reference is either the total power or the pilot power.
The POWER REF TOT/PICH softkey determines the reference power for the relative
power evaluations:
TOT For each half slot, all relative power values (CDP RELATIVE evaluation) are
referred to the total power of the signal in the respective half slot.
PICH
The reference power is that of the pilot channel in the corresponding half slot.
The default setting of the softkey is TOT.
Remote: SENS:CDP:PREF TOT | PICH
TIME/PHASE ON/OFF
The TIME/PHASE ON/OFF softkey allows activation and deactivation of the timing and
phase offset evaluation of the channels relative to the pilot. If the value of the softkey is
OFF (default setting), dashes ('---') are entered in the channel occupancy table and in
the Result Summary evaluation for timing and phase offset. If the softkey is ON, the
evaluation will take place and the values will be displayed.
Remote: SENS:CDP:TPM ON | OFF
LONG CODE I/Q
Using the LONG CODE I/Q softkeys, the long code masks of the mobile can be
defined in hexadecimal form separately for the I and Q branch. The default setting is 0.
The range is from 0 to 3FF FFFF FFFF.
The INACT CHAN THRESHOLD softkey allows entry of the minimum power which an
individual channel must have compared to the total signal in order to be regarded as
the active channel.
Channels below the specified threshold are regarded as "inactive".
The two measurements COMPOSITE EVM and PEAK CODE DOM ERR, which are
specified as measurements on the total signal, are performed using the list of active
channels. Distortions of these two measurements always occur when active channels
are not detected as being active and unassigned codes are wrongly given the status of
"occupied channel". INACT CHAN THRESHOLD can therefore be used to influence
the results of the two measurements.
The default value is -40 dB, which should result in all channels being detected by the
CDP analysis. If not all channels contained in the signal are detected automatically,
INACT CHAN THRESHOLD must be decremented.
Remote: SENS:CDP:ICTR -100 dB ... 0 dB
OPERATION ACCESS/TRAFFIC
With the softkeys OPERATION ACCESS/TRAFFIC the operation mode is set. This
information is used for the channel search.
In TRAFFIC mode all channels (PICH/RRI/DATA/ACK and DRC) can exist. PICH and
RRI are always in the signal. In ACCESS mode only PICH (always available) and
DATA channel can exist.
The softkeys are a 1 out of 2 selection, one of both is always selected.
Default is TRAFFIC.
Remote: SENS:CDP:OPER ACC | TRAF
INVERT Q ON/OFF
The INVERT Q ON / OFF softkey inverts the sign of the Q component of the signal.
The default setting is OFF.
Remote: SENS:CDP:QINV OFF
SIDEBAND NORM / INV
The SIDEBAND NORM / INV softkey chooses between measurement of the signal in a
normal and an inverted spectrum.
NORM
The normal position allows measurement of mobile station RF signals.
INV This is recommended for measurements on IF modules or components in the
case of spectral inversion.
The default setting is NORM.

Code domain power measurements are always shown in split screen mode and the
allocation of the evaluation to the measurement window is fixed. The necessary or
allowed numerical suffix in CALCulate is therefore specified in brackets in every
evaluation.
To activate the Overview mode for Code Domain Power and Code Domain Error
Power, you must use the CDP:OVER ON command.
If you then switch to an evaluation different from these two (e.g. the Channel

Characteristics
*RST value: -SCPI: device-specific
The name of the channel table may consist of up to eight characters. This
command is an event, so it has neither an *RST value nor a query function.
This command defines a channel table. The whole table is defined in one
operation. The inactive channels (INACtive) do not have to be defined. Eight
values are specified for a line of a table.
The decimal number interpreted as a binary number in 16 bits,
determines the half slot in which the channel is active (value 1) or
inactive (value 0).
Example:
65535 decimal = 1111 1111 1111 1111 bin. (e.g. DATA)
Channel is active in each half slot 43690 decimal = 1010 1010 1010 1010 bin. (e.g. RRI)
Channel is active in each half slot
24576 decimal = 0110 0000 0000 0000 bin. (e.g. DRC)
Channel is active in half slot 1 and 2
Reserved 1: Always 0 (reserved)
Status: 0: inactive, 1: active can be used in a setting command to disable
a channel temporarily
Reserved 2: Always 0 (reserved)
Before using this command, you must set the name of the channel table using the
CONF:CDP:CTAB:NAME command. Only valid 1xEV-DO MS channels are
accepted as active.
Example
INST:SEL MDO
'Activate 1xEV-DO MS
CONF:CDP:CTAB:NAME 'NEW_TAB'
'Select table to edit
CONF:CDP:CTAB:DATA 0,4,0,0,65535,0,1,0,1,4,0,0,43690,0,1,0,
