Definition of the GSM/EDGE Analysis
The analyzer performs GSM/EDGE analysis that conforms to the
3GPP TS45.005 V4.1.0.5 standard.
Channel Frequencies
The analyzer includes GSM/EDGE channel tables as shown in Table 1--2:

Measurement Functions
The analyzer provides six GSM/EDGE measurement functions as shown in
Table 1--3:
Table 1- 3: Measurement items
Measurement item Standard
Modulation accuracy GSM 11.20 -- 2.1.6.2
Mean carrier power GSM 11.20 -- 2.1.6.3
Power versus Time GSM 11.20 -- 2.1.6.4
Modulation spectrum GSM 11.20 -- 2.1.6.5.1
Switching spectrum GSM 11.20 -- 2.1.6.5.2
Spurious signals within transmission band

Getting Started
Modulation Accuracy
Mean Carrier Power
The analyzer measures EVM (Error Vector Magnitude), amplitude error, and
phase error in accordance with the GSM standard 11.20 -- 2.1.6.2.
The analyzer uses the 147 symbols located at the center of a specified burst to
measure EVM, amplitude error, phase error, waveform quality (ρ), frequency
error, and origin offset. (“Origin offset” is also called “IQ feedthrough.”)
The analyzer measures mean carrier power in accordance with the GSM standard
11.20 -- 2.1.6.3.
Figure 1--2 illustrates the data structure of a slot. The analyzer measures power in
the interval E (Data 2) located after TS (Training Sequence) for each burst to
calculate the mean value of the power within the measurement range.
