Option Sharing Concept |
The R&S TSME6 hardware simultaneously measures in all wireless communications bands from 350 MHz to 6 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 TSME6 from a limited number of bands to full bandwidth. Following band options are available:

For an overview of available cellular bands and their characteristics see Chapter A, "Available Cellular Bands", on page 62.
Definition TSME Group
A group of TSMEs are all TSME or TSME6 receivers, which are loaded by a TSME Admin (independent of their synchronization).
Technology Options
As soon as a technology option is valid on at least one TSME or TSME6 of the group, it is allowed to perform measurements on all connected receivers for this technology in the allowed frequency bands of the respective receiver.

Option Sharing Concept |
|
Allowed Frequency Bands |
|
An "All Band Option" (KAB) allows to measure the complete frequency band supported |
|
by the hardware. On a TSME6, the complete frequency band is slightly larger than on |
|
a TSME. |
|
If there is no "All Band Option" (KAB) in a receiver, but only a non-empty set of band |
|
options for 1 to 5 bands (K1B, ... K5B) each, then the upper limited number of bands |
|
can be selected from a table for this receiver, which are then allowed for all measure- |
|
ments. |
|
The number of bands to be measured simultaneously is the sum of all activation num- |
|
bers x from valid KxB options with a maximum of 5. |
|
Example: |
|
If two K1B and one K2B are installed on a TSME6, then it is permitted to measure in 4 |
|
bands simultaneously for this TSME6. |
|
Special Scenario: MIMO |
|
If a K300 is installed on a TSME or TSME6, then a measurement for technology option |
|
index 130 (LTE MIMO) can be made on this TSME or TSME6 on all frequencies sup- |
|
ported by the hardware. |
|
The 5G NR FR2 demodulation with several TSME6 is also supported. |

Risk of instrument damage due to inappropriate operating conditions
Specific operating conditions are required to ensure accurate measurements and to avoid damage to the instrument. Observe the information on appropriate operating conditions provided in the basic safety instructions and the instrument's data sheet.
Instrument damage caused by electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the electronic components of the instrument and the device under test (DUT). Electrostatic discharge is most likely to occur when you connect or disconnect a DUT or test fixture to the instrument's test ports. To prevent electrostatic discharge, use a wrist strap and cord and connect yourself to the ground, or use a conductive floor mat and heel strap combination.

Risk of instrument damage due to overheating
An insufficient airflow can cause the instrument to overheat, which may disturb the operation and even cause damage. Make sure that all fan openings are unobstructed and that the airflow perforations are unimpeded, particularly when the instrument is installed in a rack or packed in a backpack. The R&S TSME6 draws in fresh air from the front pane and warm air flows out at its panes. Thus, if no active cooling is installed, ensure that the following surrounding spaces to the instrument are kept clear:
●Front pane: minimum 2 cm
●Left/right panes: minimum 1 cm
Other mounting options
To connect two R&S TSME6 devices directly, perform the following steps.
1.Screw the connecting elements (R&S No. 4900.0804.00) on the top of the R&S TSME6.
