Basic Safety Instructions
Operating states and operating positions
The product may be operated only under the operating conditions and in the positions specified by the
manufacturer, without the product's ventilation being obstructed. If the manufacturer's specifications are
not observed, this can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death. Applicable local
or national safety regulations and rules for the prevention of accidents must be observed in all work
performed.
1. Unless otherwise specified, the following requirements apply to Rohde & Schwarz products:
predefined operating position is always with the housing floor facing down, IP protection 2X, use only
indoors, max. operating altitude 2000 m above sea level, max. transport altitude 4500 m above sea
level. A tolerance of ±10 % shall apply to the nominal voltage and ±5 % to the nominal frequency,
overvoltage category 2, pollution degree 2.
2. Do not place the product on surfaces, vehicles, cabinets or tables that for reasons of weight or stability
are unsuitable for this purpose. Always follow the manufacturer's installation instructions when
installing the product and fastening it to objects or structures (e.g. walls and shelves). An installation
that is not carried out as described in the product documentation could result in personal injury or
even death.
3. Do not place the product on heat-generating devices such as radiators or fan heaters. The ambient
temperature must not exceed the maximum temperature specified in the product documentation or in
the data sheet. Product overheating can cause electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or
even death.
Electrical safety
If the information on electrical safety is not observed either at all or to the extent necessary, electric shock,
fire and/or serious personal injury or death may occur.
1. Prior to switching on the product, always ensure that the nominal voltage setting on the product
matches the nominal voltage of the mains-supply network. If a different voltage is to be set, the power
fuse of the product may have to be changed accordingly.
2. In the case of products of safety class I with movable power cord and connector, operation is
permitted only on sockets with a protective conductor contact and protective conductor.
3. Intentionally breaking the protective conductor either in the feed line or in the product itself is not
permitted. Doing so can result in the danger of an electric shock from the product. If extension cords
or connector strips are implemented, they must be checked on a regular basis to ensure that they are
safe to use.
4. If there is no power switch for disconnecting the product from the mains, or if the power switch is not
suitable for this purpose, use the plug of the connecting cable to disconnect the product from the
mains. In such cases, always ensure that the power plug is easily reachable and accessible at all
times. For example, if the power plug is the disconnecting device, the length of the connecting cable
must not exceed 3 m. Functional or electronic switches are not suitable for providing disconnection
from the AC supply network. If products without power switches are integrated into racks or systems,
the disconnecting device must be provided at the system level.
5. Never use the product if the power cable is damaged. Check the power cables on a regular basis to
ensure that they are in proper operating condition. By taking appropriate safety measures and
carefully laying the power cable, ensure that the cable cannot be damaged and that no one can be
hurt by, for example, tripping over the cable or suffering an electric shock.
1171.0000.42 - 08 Page 3
Basic Safety Instructions
6. The product may be operated only from TN/TT supply networks fuse-protected with max. 16 A (higher
fuse only after consulting with the Rohde & Schwarz group of companies).
7. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all the way into the
socket provided for this purpose. Otherwise, sparks that result in fire and/or injuries may occur.
8. Do not overload any sockets, extension cords or connector strips; doing so can cause fire or electric
shocks.
9. For measurements in circuits with voltages V
> 30 V, suitable measures (e.g. appropriate
rms
measuring equipment, fuse protection, current limiting, electrical separation, insulation) should be
taken to avoid any hazards.
10. Ensure that the connections with information technology equipment, e.g. PCs or other industrial
computers, comply with the IEC 60950-1 / EN 60950-1 or IEC 61010-1 / EN 61010-1 standards that
apply in each case.
11. Unless expressly permitted, never remove the cover or any part of the housing while the product is in
operation. Doing so will expose circuits and components and can lead to injuries, fire or damage to the
product.
12. If a product is to be permanently installed, the connection between the protective conductor terminal
on site and the product's protective conductor must be made first before any other connection is
made. The product may be installed and connected only by a licensed electrician.
13. For permanently installed equipment without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or similar protective
devices, the supply circuit must be fuse-protected in such a way that anyone who has access to the
product, as well as the product itself, is adequately protected from injury or damage.
14. Use suitable overvoltage protection to ensure that no overvoltage (such as that caused by a bolt of
lightning) can reach the product. Otherwise, the person operating the product will be exposed to the
danger of an electric shock.
15. Any object that is not designed to be placed in the openings of the housing must not be used for this
purpose. Doing so can cause short circuits inside the product and/or electric shocks, fire or injuries.
16. Unless specified otherwise, products are not liquid-proof (see also section "Operating states and
operating positions", item 1). Therefore, the equipment must be protected against penetration by
liquids. If the necessary precautions are not taken, the user may suffer electric shock or the product
itself may be damaged, which can also lead to personal injury.
17. Never use the product under conditions in which condensation has formed or can form in or on the
product, e.g. if the product has been moved from a cold to a warm environment. Penetration by water
increases the risk of electric shock.
18. Prior to cleaning the product, disconnect it completely from the power supply (e.g. AC supply network
or battery). Use a soft, non-linting cloth to clean the product. Never use chemical cleaning agents such
as alcohol, acetone or diluents for cellulose lacquers.
Operation
1. Operating the products requires special training and intense concentration. Make sure that persons
who use the products are physically, mentally and emotionally fit enough to do so; otherwise, injuries
or material damage may occur. It is the responsibility of the employer/operator to select suitable
personnel for operating the products.
1171.0000.42 - 08 Page 4
Basic Safety Instructions
2. Before you move or transport the product, read and observe the section titled "Transport".
3. As with all industrially manufactured goods, the use of substances that induce an allergic reaction
(allergens) such as nickel cannot be generally excluded. If you develop an allergic reaction (such as a
skin rash, frequent sneezing, red eyes or respiratory difficulties) when using a Rohde & Schwarz
product, consult a physician immediately to determine the cause and to prevent health problems or
stress.
4. Before you start processing the product mechanically and/or thermally, or before you take it apart, be
sure to read and pay special attention to the section titled "Waste disposal/Environmental protection",
item 1.
5. Depending on the function, certain products such as RF radio equipment can produce an elevated
level of electromagnetic radiation. Considering that unborn babies require increased protection,
pregnant women must be protected by appropriate measures. Persons with pacemakers may also be
exposed to risks from electromagnetic radiation. The employer/operator must evaluate workplaces
where there is a special risk of exposure to radiation and, if necessary, take measures to avert the
potential danger.
6. Should a fire occur, the product may release hazardous substances (gases, fluids, etc.) that can
cause health problems. Therefore, suitable measures must be taken, e.g. protective masks and
protective clothing must be worn.
7. Laser products are given warning labels that are standardized according to their laser class. Lasers
can cause biological harm due to the properties of their radiation and due to their extremely
concentrated electromagnetic power. If a laser product (e.g. a CD/DVD drive) is integrated into a
Rohde & Schwarz product, absolutely no other settings or functions may be used as described in the
product documentation. The objective is to prevent personal injury (e.g. due to laser beams).
8. EMC classes (in line with EN 55011/CISPR 11, and analogously with EN 55022/CISPR 22,
EN 55032/CISPR 32)

2. Adjustments, replacement of parts, maintenance and repair may be performed only by electrical
experts authorized by Rohde & Schwarz. Only original parts may be used for replacing parts relevant
to safety (e.g. power switches, power transformers, fuses). A safety test must always be performed
after parts relevant to safety have been replaced (visual inspection, protective conductor test,
insulation resistance measurement, leakage current measurement, functional test). This helps ensure
the continued safety of the product.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries/cells
If the information regarding batteries and rechargeable batteries/cells is not observed either at all or to the
extent necessary, product users may be exposed to the risk of explosions, fire and/or serious personal
injury, and, in some cases, death. Batteries and rechargeable batteries with alkaline electrolytes (e.g.
lithium cells) must be handled in accordance with the EN 62133 standard.
1. Cells must not be taken apart or crushed.
2. Cells or batteries must not be exposed to heat or fire. Storage in direct sunlight must be avoided.
Keep cells and batteries clean and dry. Clean soiled connectors using a dry, clean cloth.
3. Cells or batteries must not be short-circuited. Cells or batteries must not be stored in a box or in a
drawer where they can short-circuit each other, or where they can be short-circuited by other
conductive materials. Cells and batteries must not be removed from their original packaging until they
are ready to be used.
4. Cells and batteries must not be exposed to any mechanical shocks that are stronger than permitted.
5. If a cell develops a leak, the fluid must not be allowed to come into contact with the skin or eyes. If
contact occurs, wash the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical aid.
6. Improperly replacing or charging cells or batteries that contain alkaline electrolytes (e.g. lithium cells)
can cause explosions. Replace cells or batteries only with the matching Rohde & Schwarz type (see
parts list) in order to ensure the safety of the product.
7. Cells and batteries must be recycled and kept separate from residual waste. Rechargeable batteries
and normal batteries that contain lead, mercury or cadmium are hazardous waste. Observe the

R&S UPV-K9/-K92 Overview
Operating Manual 1402.0643.12 - 03 9
1 Overview
The acoustic transmission and reproduction quality of a mobile phone is its most
important characteristic in everyday use. Even the most visually appealing design and
wonderfully sophisticated operating concept are not much use, when the user cannot
or can hardly understand what is being said at the other end.
Instruments and methods for measuring acoustic characteristics are therefore essential
tools for assessing the quality and suitability of a mobile phone.
R&S UPV-K92 provides all tests specified in TIA-1042 version 1.0 (3GPP2 C.S0056-0
Version 1.0). It uses the NORMAL real speech signal for sending and receiving
frequency response and loudness rating measurements and the ECHOLOSS speech
signal for the echo loss measurement.
An additional test case for peak acoustic level is provided. This test uses the
PEAKLEV test signal.
For sending measurements, the frequency response of the artificial mouth needs to be
equalized. For the equalization of arbitrary signals like the NORMAL speech signal,
R&S UPV-K92 provides an off-line filtering tool that compensates the frequency
response of the artificial mouth used in order to generate an acoustically correct
spectrum of the test signal at the mouth reference point (MRP).
With update key R&S UPV-K9201 present, the program provides in addition all
testcases according to TIA-1042-A:2013-03 (3GPP2 C.S0056-A v1.0). This version is
harmonized with 3GPP TS 26.132 and uses Single Talk speech signal according to
ITU-T P.501 for frequency response tests and a dynamically compressed real speech
signal for echo loss tests.
The new testcase “Speech Quality in sending in the Presence of Ambient Noise”
requires additional option R&S UPV-K98 and R&S UPV-K101, additional hardware
R&S UPP200 with R&S UPP-B8 and R&S UP-Z8A as well as additional acoustic
equipment not supplied by Rohde & Schwarz.

Software
2.1 Required Measuring Instruments and Accessories
The R&S UPV audio analyzer with the options as described below is required for the
measurements.
The CDMA2000® 1xRTT mobile phone under test is connected via the RF interface
using either the Universal Digital Radio Communication Tester R&S CMU200, called
herein below CMU200, or the Wideband Radio CommunicationTester R&S CMW500,
called herein below CMW500. This tester simulates a base station for the mobile
phone so that a call can be set up. Tests with wideband EVRC codec (SO68 and
SO73) are only possible using the CMW500.
The CMU200 must be equipped with the options CMU-B83 v22 (CDMA2000 1xRTT
Signalling Unit), CMU-B85 v22 (8k/13k QCELP, 8k EVRC, EVRC-B Speech Codec)
and the appropriate software options CMU-K8x for the band used (CMU-K83: 450MHz
bands, -K84: Cellular bands, -K85: PCS bands, -K86: IMT-2000 bands). The firmware
version in the CMU200 must be 3.50 or higher.
The CMW500 must be equipped with the options CMW-B400B (Audio Board), CMUB405A (Speech Board), CMW-B200A, CMW-B220A and CMW-PK80.
Acoustic devices such as an artificial mouth, artificial ear and other accessories are
required for the measurements. The following equipment from Brüel & Kjær or
G.R.A.S. is normally used:

B&K 2735
Measurement microphone
¼” measurement microphone with
preamplifier for measurement of
artificial mouth output during
calibration.
B&K 4939 with B&K 2670 or
G.R.A.S. 40BF with G.R.A.S.
26AC
Acoustic calibrator
Sound level calibrator for
calibrating the measuring
microphone
B&K 4231
¼” Adapter for calibrator
For inserting ¼” microphones into
the 4231 calibrator
B&K DP0775
Microphone power supply
Power supply and preamplifier for
the measuring microphone
B&K 2829, 5935L or 2690A0S2
or G.R.A.S. 12AR or 12AA
With the amplifier set to 0 dB, the microphone power supply B&K 2690A0S2 produces
too much noise for measuring idle noise and distortion. It is therefore advisable to set
a gain of 20 dB.
Natural speech signals have a high crest factor (approx. 24 dB peak-to-rms value).
Therefore, the R&S UPV generator cannot deliver enough peak power to drive the
artificial mouth even using the impedance transformer that is supplied along with option
R&S UPV-K9. Thus, it is necessary to connect the artificial mouth via an additional
audio power amplifier. The generator 1 output of the R&S UPV is connected to the
power amplifier input, and the power amplifier output is connected to the artificial
mouth.
Any standard small audio power amplifier can be used for this task. An output power of
only a few watts is sufficient. The most important factor is the long-term stability of the
gain of this amplifier. The voltage gain should be set to about 0 dB and must remain
unchanged after mouth calibration. An amplifier with a means of holding the gain
control steady or at least with a lock knob for the volume control is preferred in order to
avoid any unwanted gain variation.
For use with Digital Radio Communication Tester CMU200, a cable with male
(analyzer) and female (generator) XLR connector is supplied for connection to the
"Speech" connector of the Digital Radio Communication Tester CMU200.

This cable is configured for connection to link handler #1 in the CMU200. Depending
on the CMU200 hardware, link handler #2 in the CMU200 can also be used for
CDMA2000, in particular if the CMU200 also supports GSM and/or WCDMA. In this
case, the supplied adapter must be inserted between the cable and the speech
connector on the CMU200.

If the CMU CODEC calibration fails, the adapter has most likely to be inserted.
The CMU connects pin 1 and 3 of the R&S UPV generator output to the equipment
grounding conductor of the mains. If an external power amplifier is used, care must be
taken that the external power amplifier does not connect R&S UPV generator output
pin 2 to the equipment grounding conductor of the mains. If available, a balanced
connection to the power amplifier should be preferred.
An external power amplifier should be switched on after the R&S UPV-K9y program
has been started, and switched off before the program is ended. This prevents the
artificial mouth from undue power loading by setups which are loaded external to the
application.
An external USB keyboard and a mouse must be connected to the R&S UPV.
R&S UPV-K9y does not support the use of headphones. Do not connect headphones
to the R&S UPV during mobile phone tests. High level signals may be present at the
headphone connector.

2.2 Installing the Software
The application program requires option keys K9 and K92 to be installed. Testcases
according to TIA-1042-A:2013-03 (3GPP2 C.S0056-A v1.0) require option key K9201
to be installed. The keys are installed in the factory in case a new R&S UPV is ordered
together with these options. If the options are ordered separately, the keys as well as
the installation manual are part of the delivery.
For details on the software installation, please see the release note. Please follow the
described installation procedure accurately.
