This document contains the test requirements for a 3G GSM (900/1800/1900) and
UMTS (2100) pocket transceiver using an antenna coupler (Radiated) or RF cable
(Conducted) connection. These test sequences should be used as an arrival and
verification test of radio functionality.
Tests are done in signaling mode, i.e. a call has been established to the test instrument.
The test instrument controls the transceiver unit. RF performance is measured with an
antenna coupler or the direct line connection, whichever method is selected.
1.2 Script Requirements
• The test should be designed so those users with little or no system expertise can
perform accurate testing.
• The measurements should run automatically, though a certain amount of manual
work is included (and mandatory), such as MS call setup (i.e. dialling number).
• It should be possible to print or store the measurement results.
• It should be possible to change the channels used in testing due to possible local
radio interference. The ranges for these settings are specified under the Channel
Allocation Table.
• All functions and settings should be protected in such a manner that the end-user
cannot directly change them. (For example, a password or encrypted settings file.)
• The attenuation factors that should be used are stated in section
instrument must be capable of using different attenuation factors for RX and TX. It
must also be possible to use various attenuation factors for different channels in
each band.
NOTE! Any setups other than the one stated in this document must be
discussed and exempted by Sony Ericsson to be approved.
The test limits for each measurement are specified in the Sequence Tables.
1. Since a coupler introduces higher measurement inaccuracy, some
measurements in the radiated test sequences may have wider limits than
stated in the 3GPP specifications.
2. The conducted limits conform to the phase 3GPP specification.
1.6 Attenuation Factors
The different scripts must be configured with the correct attenuation factors and named
after the product that they are designed to test. The attenuation factors to be used are
stated in section
