4.2 Band Options

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:

4.3 Option Sharing Concept

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.

User Manual 4900.0033.02 ─ 04

13

R&S®TSME6

Option Concept

 

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 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.

Danger of shock!

To avoid a shock hazard and instrument damage, note the following:

After moisture condensation, allow the instrument to dry before switching on.

The instrument is still power-supplied while it is in standby mode, that is, with the power button switched off, but still connected with the DC power supply.

After connecting the power supply, the instrument is immediately under power.

The supplied DC connector is intended for disconnection.

If any DC supply other than R&S TSME6-Z1 is used:

The DC supply must be in accordance with IEC / EN / UL / CSA 60950-1 or IEC / EN / UL / CSA EN EN61010-1.

Use only Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) power supplies

Observe the DC input range of 10 V to 27 V with maximum of 1.8 A (inrush current)

The 12 V vehicle cigarette lighter socket must be fused
