Key Features
3 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 PCbased 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)

LAN
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,

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.
Risk of instrument damage
Do not overload the maximum allowed input of 20 dBm.
Non-compliance destroys the input mixer.
