1.2 Key Features
As in-building traffic in cellular networks grows, there is an increased need for indoor
measurements. While traditional drive test systems consist of a laptop with test mobile
phones and scanners, there are also walk-test solutions that use tablets and smartphones.
The R&S TSMA enhances such solutions, providing the user with accurate insight into
the RF environment.
The R&S TSMA combines the technology of the R&S TSME ultra-compact drive test
scanner with a high-performance Intel processor. The scanner can run PC-based drive
test software, and smartphones can be connected via USB. The scanner measures up
to eight technologies simultaneously in the 350 MHz to 4400 MHz wireless communications bands. It can be combined with an R&S TSME to perform LTE MIMO measurements.
●
User-definable input frequency range from 350 MHz to 4400 MHz
●
RF and signal processing path with a bandwidth of 20 MHz
●
Parallel measurement of all technologies in all bands (up to eight technologies
simultaneously)
●
Integrated Intel PC with Microsoft® Windows operating system which allows to
install any drive test software supporting the R&S TSMA (e.g R&S ROMES)
●
Open remote ViCom interface in order to integrate into Windows and Androidbased software tools.
●
Automatic detection of active channels in a specified band (Automatic Channel
Detection (ViCom only), R&S TSMA-K40, Order No. 1524.6339.02 or R&S
ROMES4ACD )
●
Analysis of the DL allocations of the strongest eNodeBs during measurement (LTE
Downlink Allocation Analyzer, R&S TSMA-K31, Order No. 1524.6322.02)

The LAN connector provides a high-speed 100 Mbit Ethernet interface with an RJ 45
connector using IPv4. It is used to connect the R&S TSMA to a host PC in a local network.
The LAN interface can be used for Remote Control / Remote Desktop Connections. In
this case, the device must not be in the "Scanner Only" mode.
Alternatively, it can also be used for distributed versions of R&S ROMES and R&S
NESTOR.
The LEDs on the LAN connector indicate the status of the connection to the host PC.
LED 1 (yellow, link status) is on the left side of the connector, LED 2 (green, activity
status) is on the right.
DC IN Connector
The DC IN connector is used to supply the R&S TSMA with DC power. A wide DC
input range 10 to 18 V / max. 4 A is supported.
Use only cable type with R&S No. 1523.7948.00 (included in delivery package).
RF IN Connector
The RF IN connector is the RF input of the R&S TSMA. The multi-band RF paddle
antenna (700 MHz to 2.6 GHz), which is included in the shipment of R&S TSMA or any
customer side RF source is connected to this SMA connector. The maximum input
power is +20 dBm/10 V DC.
For the multi-band RF paddle antenna (700 MHz to 2.6 GHz), no adapter is required.

5.2 Band Options
TheR&S TSMA hardware simultaneously measures in all wireless communications
bands from 350 MHz to 4.4 GHz. Using band licenses, more cost-efficient configurations are available for applications where only a limited number of bands need to be
measured simultaneously. These configurations limit the number of bands that can be
measured in parallel. You can reconfigure the bands for each measurement as desired.
Upgrade options are available to increase the bandwidth of the R&S TSMA from a limited number of bands to full bandwidth.
Following band options are available:
Table 5-2: Available R&S TSMA band options
Option Order Number Description
R&S TSMA-KAB 1524.6297.02 All bands measured simultaneously

R&S TSMA-KUB 1524.6300.02 Upgrade: 1 additional band measured simultaneously
5.3 R&S NESTOR Options
The R&S NESTOR options are available on the internal smart card of the R&S TSMA,
if the R&S NESTOR application is part of the initial installed R&S TSMA.
A later enhancement of the R&S TSMA with the R&S NESTOR application requires a
dongle (with the NESTOR options) and an installation DVD.
The installation is done via R&S TSMA Web-GUI (see "Install NESTOR Options"
on page 122).
5.4 R&S ROMES Options
A later enhancement of the R&S TSMA with the R&S ROMES application requires a
dongle (with the ROMES options) and installation DVD.
The installation of the option<serial number>.dat file is done via R&S TSMA
Web-GUI (see Chapter A.4.2, "Install", on page 122).
