SPECTRUM ANALYZER 3-3
SPECTRUM In this section, we will define spectrum analysis as well as present a brief
ANALYSIS introduction to the types of tests that are made with the spectrum and
signal analyzer functions. In order to make measurements on a signal
analyzer and to interpret the results correctly, it is important to understand
the characteristics of the analyzer.
CH
If you are designing, manufacturing, or doing field service/repair of
3
electrical devices or systems, you need a tool that will help you analyze
the electrical signals that are passing through or being transmitted by your
system or device. By analyzing the characteristics of the signal once its
gone through the device/system, you can determine the performance, find
problems, troubleshoot, etc.
Chapter 3
3-4 SPECTRUM ANALYZER
Measuring the quality of the modulation is important for making sure the
Noise is the most standard measurement and even the transmitted signal
can be noisy by definition. Any active circuit or device will generate noise.
Tests such as noise figure and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are important
for characterizing the performance of a device and/or its contribution to the
overall system noise. Tests on signals that look like noise tend to be
channel power, and occupied bandwidth.
Chapter 3
SPECTRUM ANALYZER 3-5
Chapter 3
3-6 SPECTRUM ANALYZER
RBW The major components in a spectrum analyzer are the RF input attenuator,
mixer, IF (Intermediate Frequency) gain, IF filter, detector, video filter, local
oscillator, sweep generator, and LCD display.
The IF filter is a band pass filter, used as a "window", to detect signals. Its
The RBW is used to adjust the vertical position of a signal on the display
without affecting the signal level at the input mixer. When changed, the
value of the reference level is changed accordingly. Since the reference
level should not change (i.e. the vertical position of displayed signals) the
input attenuator also changes, these two components are tied together.
The IF gain will automatically be changed to compensate for input
attenuator changes, so signals remain stationary on the instrument’s
display, and the reference level is not changed.
VBW The video bandwidth (VBW) consists of a video filter as a low-pass filter
located after the envelope detector. This filter determines the bandwidth of
the video amplifier, and is used to average or smooth the trace displayed
by the instrument.
The spectrum analyzer displays the signal and noise so the closer a signal
is to the noise level; the more difficult is to be identified. By changing the
VBW, the peak-to-peak variations of noise can be decreased.
Chapter 3
SPECTRUM ANALYZER 3-7
RF ATTENUATION The RF Input Attenuator is a step attenuator located between the input
connector and the first mixer. It is also called the RF attenuator. It is used
to adjust the level of the signal incident upon the first mixer in order to
prevent a mixer gain compression and distortion due to high-level and/or
broadband signals.
The RF input attenuator and IF gain are tied together, therefore, as the RF
input attenuation is increased by 10 dB, the IF gain will simultaneously
increase by 10 dB to compensate for the loss. As a result the signal
displayed stays constant, but the (amplified) noise level is increases by 10
dB.

display screen will be mapped according to the selected Channel standard.
Selected channel number will be a center frequency within a list you
recalled.
AMPLITUDE AUTO SCALE: The instrument can automatically set the scale to the
minimum and maximum values on the Y-axis of the graph for optimum
display of the traces measured. Each time the AUTO SCALE is selected,
the top and bottom scales are set to the minimum and maximum values
with margin on the Y-axis of the screen display.

If the input signal level is lower than +30dBm or higher than the
allowable input limit per input attenuator’s value set by the user

(total input power must be lower than 0dBm when input
attenuation setting is +20dB), A “Final IF Overload” message will be
displayed on the upper side of the screen indicating that the input
attenuation’s value must be increased. When the instrument is exposed to
an over power condition for a long time, its performance may be degraded.

Users can record and view multiple frequency bands on a single JD7105A
to quickly resolve interference issues in a few steps. The system also
performs unattended data logging for hours, days, or even weeks for later
analysis, further reducing time spent in the field. Users can also save time
and money by remotely monitoring test locations and changing test
scenarios over an Ethernet connection, eliminating the need to travel to
and from test locations.
With the logging capability, users can collect data and essentially perform
unattended spectrum monitoring, capturing and storing the spectral data
to perform other tasks instead of spending time watching a display. By
logging data, the operator can see not only the event of interest, but also
the spectral data before and after the event.

SPECTROGRAM The Spectrogram mode is useful for tracking down the source of an
interfering signal. This measurement is done at user defined frequency
range. The power at a frequency (in dBm) is displayed along with a
spectrogram. This mode is especially useful when attempting to locate
an emitter using a directional antenna.
If you are using a directional antenna to receive the signal, you will see a
change in the amplitude of the tracked signal as you change the direction
of the antenna, and see a change in the Spectrogram color. The source of
CH
the signal is located in the direction that results in the highest signal

strength.
RECEIVED SIGNAL The RSSI - Received Signal Strength Indicator, is useful for observing
STRENGTH power levels of different frequencies over time.

CDMA TX ANALYZER 6-3
CONCEPT OF The Channel Power measurement is a common test used in the wireless
CHANNEL POWER industry to measure the total transmitted power of a radio within a defined
MEASUREMENT frequency channel.
MODULATION Rho is one of the key modulation quality metrics, along with EVM (error
ACCURACY (RHO) vector modulation) and CDP (code domain power).
MEASUREMENT
CONCEPTS Rho is the ratio between the correlated power in a single coded channel
and the total signal power. This is a simplified case of code domain power
since this measurement is made on a single coded channel.
This measurement takes into account all possible error factors in the
entire transmission chain including baseband filtering, I/Q modulation
anomalies, filter amplitude, phase variation, and power amplifier distortion.
This provides an overall indication of the transmitter's performance level.
Chapter 6
6-4 CDMA TX ANALYZER
CODE DOMAIN The code domain measurement displays the power for each of the 64
MEASUREMENT Walsh channels, relative to the total power inside a 1.23 MHz bandwidth
CONCEPTS centered at the Center Frequency. Each Walsh channel level is displayed
as an individual vertical bar. Because this is a relative measurement, the
unit of measure is dB (not dBm or watts). This allows a comparison of
signal levels between the Pilot, Sync, Paging, and Traffic channels.
Rho: Rho is one of the key modulation quality metrics, along with EVM
and code domain power. Rho is the ratio between the correlated power in
a single coded channel and the total signal power. This is a simplified case
of code domain power since this measurement is made on a single coded
channel.
Time Offset: Time Offset indicates how well the transmitter’s signal is
time-aligned to the system time. The displayed value takes into account
CH
the PN Sequence offset Index of the transmitter.
6
Frequency Error: Frequency Error is the frequency difference between
the transmitter’s actual center frequency and the frequency (or channel)
entered.
Pilot Power: It is the relative power of the pilot channel (Walsh code 0)
with respect to the carrier’s power.
Sync Power: It is the relative power of the sync channel (Walsh code 32)
with respect to the carrier’s power.
Paging Power: Is the relative power of the paging channel (Walsh code 1)
with respect to the carrier’s power.
Chapter 6
CDMA TX ANALYZER 6-5
SPURIOUS Measures the spurious emissions in the transmitter’s band relative to the
EMISSION selected channel power. The transmitter’s band spectrum is measured in
MEASUREMENT several frequency segments using resolution bandwidths as specified by
CONCEPTS the standard. The channel power (integrated power in a 1.23 MHz
bandwidth) is measured first, and then it is used as a reference for the
measurement limit levels. The spectrum, centered around the carrier as
well as above and below the carrier, is then measured. For each spectrum
segment, the measurement looks for the spectrum peak closest to the limit
and reports it as the Worst Spur.
CH
As a composite measurement of out-of-channel emissions, ACPR
combines both in-band and out-of-band specifications to provide useful 6
figures-of-merit for spectral growth and emissions produced by
components and circuit blocks without the need to perform a full spectrum
emissions mask measurement.
This ACPR measurement analyzes the total power levels within the
defined carrier bandwidth and at given frequency offset on both sides of
the carrier frequency.

ACPR Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) is defined as the ratio of the
MEASUREMENT average power in the adjacent frequency channel (or offset) to the
average power in the transmitted frequency channel. It may also be
expressed as the ratio of the integrated signal power in the adjacent
channel to the integrated signal power in the main channel, which is
defined as ACLR (Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio).

SPURIOUS Spurious Emission has the commonality with ACPR measurement that it
EMISSION MASK measures the interference of adjacent channels. It measures the power
(SEM) ratio between in-band and adjacent channels. Emission Measurement
MEASUREMENT differs from ACPR measurement in that it sets the mask on entire TX band
at the carrier center frequency and measures if the power within a defined
BW of adjacent channel exceeds the masked limit with Channel Power at
1.23MHz as the reference.

CDMA CODE The code domain measurement displays the power for each of the 64
DOMAIN Walsh channels relative to the total power inside a 1.23 MHz bandwidth
MEASUREMENT centered at the Center Frequency. Each Walsh channel level is displayed
as an individual vertical bar. Because this is a relative measurement, the
unit of measure is dB (not dBm or watts). This allows a comparison of
signal levels between the Pilot, Sync, Paging, and Traffic channels.

Multi-path Profile
Multipath profile indicates the amount of power of the dominant pilot
signal that is dispersed outside the main correlation peak due to
multipath echoes (expressed in dB). Ideally, this value should be
very small. Multipath profile is the result of portions of the original
broadcast signal arriving at the receiving antenna out of phase. This
can be caused by the signal being reflected off objects, such as
buildings, or being refracted through the atmosphere differently from
the main signal.
Note that the Multipath Profile is only valid for Over the Air
measurements. It does not apply to Transmitter measurements.
Code Domain
Channels with high correlation factors are determined to be active
channels and are indicated as such on the display. Once the
channels are decoded, the analyzer determines the power in each
channel relative to the total signal power.
Chapter 6
6-32 CDMA TX ANALYZER
Note that waveform quality, rho might be less than 0.912 when over
the air measurement due to an air-interface.
PN Offset
It is a “short code” sequence that provides a unique identifier for each
sector of each cell site. The PN Offsets are applied to the I and Q
signals before modulation. PN Offsets are offset in time by 52.08μs
and they repeat every 26.666ms. This yields 512 unique short code
sequences (0-511). The access terminal needs the PN Offset to
decode information in the Pilot and MAC channels, which are
transmitted by the access network.
Frequency Offset
To ensure that each CDMA transmitter is on its frequency and not
interfering with other CDMA channels, the standards specify very tight
frequency error performance, known as frequency tolerance. In the
PCS bands, the specification is ±0.05 parts per million, which
translates to only ±99Hz at a carrier frequency of 1980 MHz. In the
cellular bands, a CDMA transmitter must be within about 40Hz of
Chapter 6
CDMA TX ANALYZER 6-33
Time Offset
Each sector of each base station site operates on the same frequency
channel, and is distinguished from the others by a “PN offset”
sequence in the CDMA system. The PN offsets are offset in time by
52.08μs (64 chips) each and they repeat every 26.666ms (32768
chips). This yields 512 PN codes (32768/64), where each has a
unique offset.
The time offset measurement compares the time of the repeat to the
offset from the even-second clock (base station, or GPS time). The
CH
CDMA standards specify a maximum offset of 10 microseconds, but 3
microseconds is a recommended maximum. If the time offset of the 6
target cell is too far from that of the current site, the handoff will not
happen.
This is the only transmitter test that requires the even-second clock
signal from the base station. Other transmitter tests can be
performed without this connection.

1xEV-DO uses what it is known as High Rate Packet Data, using the
same final spread rate of 1.2288 Mcps as does cdma2000 SR1. It also
uses the same digital filter to reduce the final modulation bandwidth; as a
result, 1xEV-DO is spectrally compatible with cdma2000 SR1. Both 1xEV-
DO and cdma2000 SR1 can utilize the same amplifiers, combiners, and
antennas, which reduces the implementation cost of 1xEV-DO.
Chapter 7
EVDO TX ANALYZER 7-3
1XEV-DO 1xEV-DO relies on GPS for intercell synchronization, in the same manner
FORWARD LINK as cdma2000. The 1xEV-DO system is well suited for data transmission in
the forward link as it is optimized for high speed packet data
communication. When compared to the recent IS95-B design in
cdma2000, 1xEV-DO shows a 6 times improvement in the overall network
data rate. The largest contribution to overall increased data throughput is
the ability of 1xEV-DO to negotiate for increased data rate for individual
users or mobiles as only one user is served at a time. The forward link is
always transmitted in its full power using a rate control scheme instead of
power control scheme, as in cdma2000.
FRAME Forward link of 1xEV-DO is a frame structure and each frame consists of
STRUCTURE 16 slots. The frame period for 1xEV-DO is 26.667ms, which is also the
period of one pilot channel. Each frame is divided into 16 slots of 1.666ms.
1xEV-DO uses CDMA modulation scheme, but unlike its previous systems
the Pilot, MAC (Media Access Control), and Data (Traffic) Channel are not
transmitted simultaneously; instead they are transmitted in TDM (Time
Division Multiplex). The following figure shows the frame structure of EV-
DO and TDM structure of each channel at one time slot. The slot with the CH
loaded data in traffic channel is called Active Slot and the slot with no data 7
in traffic channel is called Idle Slot.

CHANNEL POWER The Channel Power measurement is a common test used in the wireless
MEASUREMENT industry to measure the total transmitted power of a radio within a defined
CONCEPTS frequency channel. This procedure measures the total power within the
defined channel for 1xEV-DO. This measurement is applied the design,
characterization, evaluation, and verification of transmitters and their
components, or devices, for base stations and mobile stations.
CODE DOMAIN Since the code domain measurements de-spread and descramble the
CH
(FORWARD LINK) 1xEV-DO signal into its physical channels, the number of active channels
7 MEASUREMENT of various symbol rates (which are denoted by widths) can be observed.
CONCEPTS The width of the channel is inversely proportional to the Walsh code length
in number of bits. In the code domain, there is a fixed amount of code
space for a given chip rate. Therefore, by using the different Walsh codes,
the system can dynamically allocate the code spaces for high speed data
users.
This code domain power composite view provides information about the
in-channel characteristics of the 1xEV-DO signal. It directly informs the
user of the active channels with their individual channel powers. The
composite view also shows which data rates are active and the
corresponding amount of code space used. The following are conditions
under which a general unlock can occur: the Pilot signal is too low in
power or no Pilot signal is available, the frequency error is too large, or a
frequency inversion is present.
Chapter 7
EVDO TX ANALYZER 7-5
When the level of the code domain noise floor is too high, relative to a
reference or an expected level, one of the possible causes might be due
to CW interference, like local oscillator feed through or spurs. I/Q
modulation impairments can be another source of this uncorrelated noise.
The I/Q demodulation measurements can reveal errors such as I/Q gain
imbalance or I/Q Quadrature error.
The code domain measurement displays the power for each of the spread
channels, relative to the total power within the 1.230 MHz channel
bandwidth centered at the center frequency. Each spread channel level is
displayed as an individual vertical bar with a different width determined by
a spread rate. Because this is a relative measurement, the unit of
measure is dB (not dBm or watts). This allows a comparison of signal
levels between the Pilot, MAC, and Traffic channels.
MODULATION Rho is one of the key modulation quality metrics, along with EVM and CH
ACCURACY code domain power. Rho is the ratio of the correlated power in a single 7
(WAVEFORM coded channel to the total signal power. This is a simplified case of code
QUALITY) domain power since this measurement is made on a single coded channel.
MEASUREMENT This measurement takes into account all possible error mechanisms in the
CONCEPTS entire transmission chain including baseband filtering, I/Q modulation
anomalies, filter amplitude, phase nonlinearities, and power amplifier
distortion. This provides an overall indication of the performance level of
the transmitter.
Chapter 7
7-6 CDMA TX ANALYZER
The instrument uses digital signal processing (DSP) to sample the input
signal and convert it to the frequency domain. With the instrument tuned to
a fixed center frequency, samples are digitized at a high rate with DSP
hardware, and then converted to the frequency domain with FFT software.
The total power within the measured frequency span is integrated for its
100% of power. The frequencies of 0.5% of the total power are then
calculated to get 99.0% bandwidth.
SPURIOUS Spurious Emissions Mask (SEM) & Adjacent Channel Power (ACP)
EMISSIONS AND measurements include the in-band and out-of-band adjacent channel
CH
ADJACENT power and spurious emissions. ACP, as it applies to 1xEV-DO, is the
7 CHANNEL POWER power contained in a specified frequency channel bandwidth relative to the
MEASUREMENT carrier frequency. It may also be expressed as power spectral density
CONCEPTS between the carrier and the specified offset frequency band.
Chapter 7
EVDO TX ANALYZER 7-7
Spurious Emissions This ACP measurement analyzes the total power levels within the defined
and Adjacent carrier bandwidth at given frequency offsets on both sides of the carrier's
Channel Power frequency. Also, the SEM measures spurious signal levels in given offsets
Measurement or region frequencies and relates them to the carrier power. These
Concepts (cont’d) measurements require the user to specify measurement bandwidths of the
carrier channel and each of the offset frequency pairs up to 5. Each pair
may be defined with unique measurement bandwidth.

CODE DOMAIN In 1xEV-DO the code channel is not superposed simultaneously with the
POWER transmission channels. As they are transmitted in TDM, only one channel
is transmitted at a time. Therefore, 1xEV-DO CDP measurement displays
each Walsh code power of each physical channel at a time. Also, as I-
channel and Q-channel transmit different code channel for Pilot Channel
and MAC channel, 1xEV-DO measurement displays each I/Q channels
separately unlike cdmaOne or cdma2000. 1xEV-DO CDP measures the
correlated power with Walsh code and the code channel power is
expressed in dB as it is normalized to the total signal power.

CDP Procedure Active Set Threshold is the reference to differentiate active from
(Cont’d) inactive channels and the default is -27dB.
CDP Measurement shows which channel (CH) number is currently
displayed, which can be changed using the arrow keys. In case there
is an empty CH in-between, CDP measurement is not shown and the
message indicating the measurement is in progress is displayed
continuously. In this case, pressing the arrow keys will stop the
measurement for the empty CH and moves to the next (or previous)
CH.
EV-DO Pilot The Pilot Channel spreads in 32 Walsh Code and only the number “0” of
Channel CDP the I-channel carries the Pilot Code Channel and all the other code
channels are not used. There is no specific standard for Pilot Channel
CDP measurement, except the measurement to verify if the Pilot Code
Channel should be high enough to differentiate with the noise power of the
unoccupied channels.

EV-DO MAC MAC Channel uses 64 Walsh codes consisting of 1 RA (Reverse Activity)
Channel CDP channel, 59 RPC (Reverse Power Control) channels and 4 reserved
channels. RA channel transmits data to all AT simultaneously and RPC
channels are used to control the power level of each AT within the sector.
Information is transmitted to each I/Q channel where I-channel uses 0 ~31
and Q-channel uses 32 ~63.

EV-DO MAC Frequency Error: Measurement for the carrier’s center frequency
Channel accuracy transmitted from the BTS. The measured deviation from the
Measurement center frequency and the specified center frequency displayed in Hz.
Parameters Time offset: Value to express the level of alignment between the BTS
(cont’d) transmission signal and the system time. Time offset between BTS
reference clock taking PN sequence (PP2S, 1PPS or 10msec) and
transmission signal.
MAC Rho (Waveform Quality): Rho = Correlated Power / Channel
Power
Rho is the parameter to express the modulation quality including EVM
and Walsh Channel Power. It covers all errors occurred along the
transmission chain such as fault at base-band filtering, fault at I/Q
modulator, and distortion in power amplifiers.
EV-DO Data Traffic channel spreads in W16 Walsh code and 16 code channels are CH
Channel assigned to a single user, not all 16 channels are users, data transmission, 7
Measurement I-channels, and Q-channels are assigned the same codes unlike MAC or
Pilot Channel. Therefore I/Q is not displayed separately in Traffic Channel
and the sum of I/Q power is displayed like cdmaOne and cdma2000.

WCDMA TX ANALYZER 8-3
WHAT IS WCDMA W-CDMA is a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system. As opposed
to Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), in CDMA, all users transmit at
the same time. Frequency divisions are still used, but at a much greater
bandwidth.
In addition, multiple users share the same frequency carrier. Each user’s
signal uses a unique code that appears to be noise except to the correct
receiver. Therefore, the term channel describes a combination of carrier
frequency and codes. Correlation techniques allow a receiver to decode
one signal among many transmitted on the same carrier at the same time.
A difference between W-CDMA and earlier 2G CDMA systems (like IS-95)
is that W-CDMA uses a wider bandwidth (3.84 MHz, as opposed to 1.23
MHz for IS-95).
Chapter 8
8-4 WCDMA TX ANALYZER
CHANNEL POWER The Channel Power measurement is a common test used in the wireless
MEASUREMENT industry to measure the total transmitted power of a radio within a defined
CONCEPT frequency channel. This procedure measures the total power within the
defined channel for W-CDMA. This measurement is applied to design,
characterize, evaluate, and verify transmitters and their components or
devices for base stations and mobile stations.
Chapter 8
WCDMA TX ANALYZER 8-5
SPURIOUS The Spectrum Emission Mask (SEM) measurement includes the in-
EMISSION MASK band and out-of-band spurious emissions. As it applies to W-CDMA, this is
MEASUREMENT the power contained in a specified frequency bandwidth, at certain offsets,
CONCEPT relative to the total carrier power. It may also be expressed as a ratio of
power spectral densities between the carrier and the specified offset
frequency band. It provides useful figures-of-merit for the spectral re-
growth and emissions produced by components and circuit blocks, without
the rigor of performing a full SEM measurement.
Chapter 8
8-6 WCDMA TX ANALYZER
CODE DOMAIN Code domain power is an analysis of the distribution of signal power
MEASUREMENT across the set of code channels, normalized to the total signal power. To
CONCEPT analyze the composite waveform, each channel is decoded using a code-
correlation algorithm. This algorithm determines the correlation coefficient
factor for each code. Once the channels are decoded, the power in each
code channel is determined. Since the code domain measurements de-
spread and descramble the W-CDMA signal into its physical channels, the
number of active channels of various symbol rates (which are denoted by
widths) can be observed. The width of the channel is inversely
proportional to the Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) code
length in number of bits. In the code domain, there is a fixed amount of
code space for a given chip rate. Therefore, by using the different OVSF
codes, the system can dynamically allocate the code space for lower rate
voice users versus high speed data users.
The code domain power composite view provides information about the in-
channel characteristics of the W-CDMA signal. It directly informs the user
of the active channels with their individual channel power. The composite
view also shows which data rates are active and the corresponding
amount of code space used.
MODULATION Rho is one of the key modulation quality metrics, along with EVM and
ACCURACY (RHO) Code Domain Power. Rho is the ratio of the correlated power in a multi
MEASUREMENT coded channel to the total signal power. This measurement takes into
CONCEPT account all possible error mechanisms in the entire transmission chain
including: baseband filtering, I/Q modulation anomalies, filter amplitude,
phase deviation, and power amplifier distortions. This provides an overall
indication of the performance level of the transmitter.

CODE DOMAIN The CDP (Code Domain Power) analysis measurement provides a variety
ANALYSIS of different results. First, the code domain power analysis measures the
(DEMODULATOR) distribution of power across the set of code channels, normalized to the
total power. This measurement helps to verify that each code channel is
operating at its proper level and helps to identify problems throughout the
transmitter design from coding to the RF section. System imperfections,
such as amplifier non-linearity, will present themselves as an undesired
distribution of power in the code domain.

Multi-path Profile
Multipath profile indicates the amount of power of the dominant pilot
signal that is dispersed outside the main correlation peak due to
multipath echoes (expressed in dB). Ideally, this value should be
very small. Multipath profile is the result of portions of the original
broadcast signal arriving at the receiving antenna out of phase. This
can be caused by the signal being reflected off objects, such as
buildings, or being refracted through the atmosphere differently from
the main signal.
Note that the Multipath Profile is only valid for Over the Air
measurements. It does not apply to Transmitter measurements.

WHAT IS GSM GSM standard defines a voice and data over-air interface between a
mobile radio and the system infrastructure. EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates
for GSM Evolution) enhances the GSM standard by implementing a new
modulation format and filtering designed to provide higher data rates in the
same spectrum. EDGE and GSM signals can be transmitted on the same
frequency, occupying different timeslots, and both use existing GSM
equipment. The GSM digital communications standard employs an 8:1
TDMA, allowing eight channels to use one carrier frequency
simultaneously. The 270.833 kbits/second raw bit rate is modulated on the
RF carrier using Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK). The standard
includes multiple traffic channels, a control channel, and a cell broadcast
channel.
The GSM specification defines a channel spacing of 200 kHz. GSM 900,
GSM 450, GSM 480, GSM 850, DCS 1800, and PCS 1900 are GSM-
defined frequency bands. The term GSM 900 is used for any GSM or
EDGE system operating in the 900 MHz band, which includes P-GSM, E-
GSM, and R-GSM.
Primary (or standard) GSM 900 band (P-GSM) is the original GSM band.
Extended GSM 900 band (E-GSM) includes all the P-GSM bands and an
additional 50 channels. Railway GSM 900 band (R-GSM) includes all the
E-GSM band plus additional channels. GSM 450, GSM 480, GSM 700,
and GSM 850 are additional GSM-defined frequency bands that provide
additional bandwidth availability. CH
9
DCS 1800 is an adaptation of GSM 900, created to allow smaller cell sizes
for higher system capacity. PCS 1900 is intended to be identical to DCS
1800 except for frequency allocation and power levels. The term GSM
1800 is sometimes used for DCS 1800, and the term GSM 1900 is
sometimes used for PCS 1900.
Chapter 9
9-4 GSM/EDGE TX ANALYZER
TIME SLOT EDGE and GSM use Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) which divides
each RF channel into eight individual timeslots, thus allowing eight users
to share a single carrier frequency. Users are synchronized to transmit in
series, each in their assigned timeslot. A user may only transmit every
4.62 ms during their timeslot which is 577 μs long. The eight timeslots are
numbered 0 to 7. The 4.62 ms required to cycle through all eight timeslots
is called a frame.
CHANNEL POWER The Channel Power measures in-channel power for GSM and EDGE
MEASUREMENT systems. GSM and EDGE systems use dynamic power control to ensure
CONCEPT that each link is maintained with minimum power. This gives two
fundamental benefits: overall system interference is kept to a minimum
and, in the case of mobile stations, battery life is maximized. The Channel
Power measurement determines the average power of an RF signal burst
at or above a specified threshold value. The threshold value may be
absolute, or relative to the peak value of the signal.
Chapter 9
GSM/EDGE TX ANALYZER 9-5
CODE DOMAIN Power vs. Time, Power vs. Time (PvT) measures the mean transmission
MEASUREMENT power during the “useful part” of GSM bursts and verifies that the power
CONCEPT ramp fits within the defined mask. PvT also lets you view the rise, fall, and
(DEMODULATOR) “useful part” of the GSM burst. Using the “Multi-Slot” function, up to eight
slots in a frame can be viewed at a time. GSM is a TDMA scheme with
eight time slots, or bursts, per RF channel; if the burst does not occur at
exactly the right time, or if the burst is irregular, then other adjacent
timeslots can experience interference. Because of this, the industry
standards specify a tight mask for the TDMA burst.
The PvT measurement provides masks for both BTS (Base Transceiver
Station) and MS (mobile station). The timing masks are referenced to the
transition from bit 13 to bit 14 of the mid-amble training sequence. For
GMSK measurements, the 0 dB reference is determined by measuring the
mean transmitted power during the “useful part” of the burst.
CH
PHASE & Phase and frequency error are the measurements of modulation quality 9
FREQUENCY for GSM. Since GSM uses relative phase to transmit information, the
ERROR phase and frequency accuracy of the transmitter are critical to the system
MEASUREMENT performance and ultimately transmission coverage.
CONCEPT
GSM receivers rely on the phase and frequency quality of the 0.3 GMSK
signal in order to achieve the expected carrier to noise performance. A
transmitter with high phase and frequency error is often still able to
support phone calls during a functional test. However, it tends to be more
difficult for mobiles to maintain communication at the edges of the cell,
with low signal levels, or under fading and doppler conditions.

BASEBAND I/Q In transmitters, the baseband I/Q refers to signals that are composed of
MEASUREMENT individual I/Q modulators, before the I and Q component signals are
CONCEPT combined, and before the up-conversion to IF or RF frequencies. In
receivers, baseband I/Q analysis is used to test the I and Q components
of I/Q demodulators, after an RF signal has been down-converted and
demodulated.

I/Q POLAR Phase and frequency error measurements characterize the modulation
VECTOR quality of GSM systems. Since GSM systems use relative phase to
MEASUREMENT transmit information, phase and frequency accuracy is critical to the
system’s performance. In a real system, poor phase error will reduce the
ability of a receiver to correctly demodulate.
I/Q Polar Vector Constellation diagrams can also be used to observe some aspects of
Procedure modulation accuracy and can reveal certain fault mechanisms such as I/Q
amplitude imbalance or quadrature imbalance.

TIME SLOT The modulation type can be either QPSK or 8PSK (2 Mbps). For
downlink, the SF (spreading factor) may be 1 or 16. For uplink, the SF
may be 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16.
Data
For each timeslot, data type depends on the channel selection.
Available data choices for common physical channels include: PN9
and PN15 sequences, user-defined data, and transport channel data.
For multiframe generation, data is continuous across all packets.
For multicarrier generation, data on each channel is independent.
Midamble
The midamble is used as a training sequence for channel estimation,
power measurements, and synchronization. Up to 16 timeslot
midamble codes of length 144 can be generated from a basic
midamble code of length 128. (The basic midamble codes are
repeated to fill the length.) The actual midamble code transmitted
from the midamble field in the time slot depends on the user number
and the total number of users allocated the same basic midamble
sequence. The midamble used by each user has a unique shift from
the basic midamble code, thus providing channel information for
different users by one correlation.

DWPTS Downlink Pilot Time Slot, 96 chip duration. DwPTS is used for downlink
synchronization. During the cell search procedure, the UE acquires the
timing of the DwPTS by correlating with the SYNC-DL code transmitted in
the DwPTS. The UE must identify which SYNC-DL sequence is used out
of 32 SYNC-DL possible sequences. Since each SYNC-DL is mapped to
four basic midamble codes (there are 128 basic midamble codes in total),
the UE can identify which basic midamble code is used at the Node-B.
Knowing the basic midamble code also identifies the unique associated
scrambling code.
UPPTS Uplink Pilot Time Slot, 160 chip duration. UpPTS is used by Node B to
determine the received power level and the received timing from the UE.
In order to reduce interference to traffic channels resulting from the
unsynchronized uplink, the first transmission from the UE at the uplink
direction has to be in the UpPTS. The timing used for the UpPTS
transmission is estimated from the received power level of the DwPTS
and/or P-CCPCH. The Node-B then detects the SYNC-UL (128 codes in
total) transmitted in the UpPTS and issues timing commands to the UE for
adjusting its new transmission time in a resolution of 1/8 chips.
GP Guard period between DwPTS and UpPTS determines the maximum cell
size. This main guard period is 96 chips long which is different from other
normal guard periods of 16 chips between time slots. The GP insures that
a UE transmitting the UpPTS does not disturb the reception of the DwPTS
for other close-by UEs 96 chip duration.

POWER vs. TIME The Power vs. Time (P vs T) measurement analyzes the amplitude profile
MEASUREMENT and timing of the burst signal and provides a time mask for the signal. It
measures the mean transmit power during the “useful part” of TD-SCDMA
bursts and verifies that the power ramp fits within the defined mask. TD-
SCDMA is a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheme with seven
time slots, or bursts, per RF channel and by using the “Multi-Slot” function,
up to seven slots in a frame can be viewed at one time.

11-2 CABLE AND ANTENNA ANALYZER
A large number of abnormal cell site problems are typically caused by the
antenna system, cable and connectors, or both. It’s important to have the
right instrument available when either servicing or certifying cell sites for
operation.
To get maximum power into a load it is required that the load impedance
match the generator impedance. Any difference in impedance or
mismatching would not produce maximum power transfer. An impedance
mismatch at the antenna system produces a reflective 'traveling wave'
which goes in the opposite direction from the incident wave. As the two
traveling waves cross each other in opposite direction, it is produce an
interference pattern called a "standing wave". VSWR is the ratio between
the power sent forward to the cable and/or antenna and the amount of
power that is reflected back to the transmitter.
Chapter 11
CABLE AND ANTENNA ANALYZER 11-3
STANDING WAVE In telecommunications, standing wave ratio (SWR) is the ratio of the
RATIO amplitude of a partial standing wave at its maximum amplitude and at its
minimum, in an electrical transmission line.
The SWR is usually defined as a voltage ratio called the VSWR, for
voltage standing wave ratio. For example, the VSWR value 1.2:1 denotes
a maximum standing wave amplitude that is 1.2 times greater than the
minimum standing wave value. It is also possible to define the SWR in
terms of current, resulting in the ISWR, which has the same numerical
relationship. The power standing wave ratio (PSWR) is defined as the
square of the VSWR.
PRACTICAL SWR has a number of implications that are directly applicable to RF radios.
IMPLICATIONS OF
SWR SWR is an indicator of reflected waves bouncing back and forth within
the transmission line, and as such, an increase in SWR corresponds
to an increase in power in the line beyond the actual transmitted
power. This increased power will increase RF losses, as increased
voltage increases dielectric losses, and increased current increases
resistive losses.
A transmission line with matched impedances gives an ideal power
transfer; mismatched impedances give high SWR and reduced power
transfer.
Higher power in the transmission line also leaks back into the RF
radio, which may cause the radio to over heat.
The higher voltages associated with a sufficiently high SWR could
damage the transmitter. Solid state radios which have a lower
tolerance for high voltages may automatically reduce its output power
to prevent damage. The high voltages may also cause transmission
line dielectric to break down and/or to burn.
VSWR measurements may be taken to ensure that a waveguide is CH
contiguous and has no leaks or sharp bends. If such bends or holes
11
are present in the waveguide surface, they may diminish the
performance of transmitter and receiver equipment strings.
Chapter 11
11-4 CABLE AND ANTENNA ANALYZER
Return loss is usually expressed in dB, the return loss value describes the
reduction in amplitude of the reflected energy, as compared to the forward
energy. It will always be a loss, and therefore a negative dB. However one
can write -3 dB as simply 3 dB of loss, dropping the negative sign and
adding loss. For example, if a device has 15 dB of return loss, the
reflected energy from that device (PR), is always 15 dB lower than the
transmitted energy (PT). When expressed in dB, larger (in magnitude)
negative numbers represent larger return losses and thus smaller
reflected power (PR).

12-2 POWER METER
The RF power meter of the JD7105A does not adopt conventional power
measurement techniques used on separate Power Sensors. Rather it
uses the band power measurement style based on spectrum
measurement results. Like general spectrum analyzer, measurement
accuracy may be degraded if the span is set too wide, since it limits the
display points within the measurement band. To prevent this, the JD7105A
measures RMS power from the raw data received from FFT in the defined
span, which results in an accurate power measurement independent of the
span setting, even without using a separate power sensor.
Also the JD7105A provides a logging function for measured power on the
screen to track variations. This function provides an accurate estimation of
BTS in operation where the output may continuously fluctuate.

The Power Meter measures the transmission power of the system. For
radio output power measurements it is required the use of optional
external power sensors. Two kinds of power sensors are available,
directional and terminating; their application depends on the type of power
measurement to be performed, in-service (directional) or out-of-service
(terminating).

E1 ANALYZER 13-3
G.703/G.704 An E1 link operates over two separate sets of wires, usually twisted pair
FRAMING cable. A nominal 2.4 Volt signal is encoded with pulses using a method
that avoids long periods without polarity changes. The line data rate is
2.048Mbit/s (full duplex, i.e. 2.048Mbit/s downstream and 2.048Mbit/s
upstream) which is split into 32 timeslots, each being allocated 8 bits in
turn. Thus each timeslot sends and receives an 8-bit sample 8000 times
per second (8x8000x32 = 2,048,000). This is ideal for voice telephone
calls where the voice is sampled into an 8 bit number at that data rate and
reconstructed at the other end.
Chapter 13
13-4 E1 ANALYZER
Unlike the earlier T-carrier systems developed in North America, all 8 bits
of each timeslot are available for each call. This allows the E1 systems to
be used for circuit switch data calls, without the risk of losing information.
While the original CEPT standard G.703 specifies several options for the
physical transmission, almost exclusively the HDB3 format is used.

No more than three consecutive zeroes are permitted. The AMI (Alternate
Mark Inversion) rule is violated intentionally whenever 4 or more zeros are
encountered. The 4 zeros are substituted in one of the two ways
described and illustrated below. Which method is used is governed by the
polarity of the last inserted violation pulse (V) and whether the number of
pulses between the previous violation pulse and the next one is odd or
even.

CRC-4 ERROR The CRC-4 function specified in ITU-T Rec. G.704 allows evaluating the
DETECTION quality of transmission over E1 links. When the CRC-4 option is enabled,
frames are arbitrarily grouped in groups of 16 (these groups are called
CRC-4 multi-frames).
A CRC-4 multi-frame always starts with a frame that carries the frame
alignment signal. The CRC-4 multi-frame structure is identified by a six-bit

Frame Sync
The Frame Sync alarm is declared when the LFA condition, also called an
out-of-frame (OOF) condition occur when there are errors in the incoming
framing pattern. The number of bit errors that provokes the condition
depends on the framing format.
Pattern Sync
The Loss of Pattern Sync alarm is specific to BER test equipment, and it
may only be observed on test equipment when performing out-of-service
testing. Pattern sync losses occur under conditions of significant bit errors,
and may be caused by poor received signal level due to faulty network
elements, or by one side bad of the connection pair, or line frequency

Terminate Mode The Terminate mode is used when you wish to send and receive an E1
signal. The instrument terminates the received signal with a low
impedance termination, and requires that the circuit be disrupted for
testing.
Bridge Mode The Bridge mode is similar to the Monitor mode. However, in the Bridge
mode, the instrument applies high impedance isolation resistors to the
circuit under test. This isolation circuitry will protect the signal from any
possible disruption. There is no need to plug into the TX jack of the test
set while in the BRIDGE mode, and there is no need to specify a test
pattern to be transmitted. However, the transmitter in the test set is
sending the selected test pattern, framing, coding, and CRC.
Monitor Mode The Monitor (protected monitoring point) mode is used when a monitor
access is to be made. The network element has isolated the MON signal
from the live signal with high impedance resistors.
The Monitor mode is useful because it protects the live signal from any
possible disruptions caused by the testing process. It allows the technician
to observe the line while the customer is actually using it and to see if
there are any problems.
Loop Test The Loop mode is used to terminate a signal and loop it through the
instrument. The incoming Rx signal is terminated, regenerated, and
retransmitted through the Tx connector. Code violations and frame errors
are eliminated in this loopback. This mode is similar to the Terminate
mode, but the instrument loops the signal internally instead of transmitting
the selected test pattern. There are two main applications for the Loop test,
used to loop a signal back to the direction which it came from. This is
normally done if the circuit is out of service. In the other application, one
direction of a live circuit is passed through the instrument in the Loop
mode.

Since the early 1980’s, T1 service has been available to private industry
throughout the country. This document will discuss the various types of T1

T1 BANDWIDTH The bandwidth of a T1 is commonly known to be 1.544Mbps. This
represents the maximum bit carrying ability of a T1. The overhead 14
necessary to frame a T1 is 8kbps. Therefore, the total usable bandwidth is
1.536Mbps, or the equivalent of 24 DS-0 channels. A single DS-0 has a
bandwidth of 64kbps and is designed to carry a digitized telephone call.
Today, T1 technology is being used in private and public networks to carry
both voice and data traffic.

SLC-96 is a framing format introduced by AT&T and later standardized by
14
Bellcore in TR-TSY-000008, Digital Interface between the SLC 96 Digital
Loop Carrier System and a Local Digital Switch. The framing is used on
AT&T's old SLC-96 product line. The framing supports a broad variety of
maintenance functions such as alarm transmission, automatic switching to
protection line, and far end loop back. SLC-96 framing is used on the DS1
link in between the central office terminal and the remote terminal.

On a T1, ones are sent by applying voltage to the wire, where a zero is
sent by having no voltage on the wire. Sending excessive zeros in a row
could cause receiving equipment to lose synchronization, so it is important
that such a pattern not be sent.
For the B8ZS scheme, any time eight consecutive zeros are detected in
the data stream to be transmitted, the transmitter "substitutes" a fixed
pattern of ones, zeros, and BPVs in place of those 8 zeros. This is a very
specific pattern; each block of eight consecutive zeros is replaced with
000VB0VB, where B represents and inserted "1" bit, and V represents an
inserted "1" that is a bipolar violation.

Frame Sync
The Frame Sync alarm is declared when more than 2 out of 5 FT bits are
found in error for D4 (SF) Framing, or 2 out of 5 FPS bits in ESF framing
format are found to be in error. For D4 framing, the Frame Loss alarm is
cleared after detection of two consecutive complete framing sequences.
Likewise for ESF framing, the Frame Loss alarm is cleared after detection
of two consecutive FPS bit sequences. Frame loss can be caused by a
number of problems including bad connections, poor signal level,
noise/interference on the line, or line frequency offsets (T1 line frequency
that deviates from the nominal 1,544,000Hz bit frequency).
Pattern Sync
The Loss of Pattern Sync alarm is specific to BER test equipment, and it
may only be observed on test equipment when performing out-of-service
testing. Pattern sync losses occur under conditions of significant bit errors,
and may be caused by poor received signal level due to faulty network
elements, or by one side bad of the connection pair, or line frequency
offsets that may be caused by poor clock recovery.

B8ZS
Bipolar with 8-zero Substitution. A coding scheme in which the transmitter 14
“substitutes” a fixed pattern of ones, zeros, and BPVs in place of 8
consecutive zeros. This is a very specific pattern, each block of eight
consecutive zeros is replaced with 000VB0VB, where B represents and
inserted “1” bit, and V represents an inserted “1” that is a bipolar violation.
Red Alarm
Red alarm indicates the alarming equipment is unable to recover the
framing reliably. Corruption or loss of the signal will produce “red alarm.”
Connectivity has been lost toward the alarming equipment.
RAI
Remote Alarm Indication. A signal transmitted from terminal equipment in
the outgoing direction when it determines that it has lost the incoming
signal, or when it receives an AIS signal in the incoming direction. RAI is
also called the Yellow Alarm.

Yellow Alarm
CH
Yellow alarm indicates reception from the far end of a data or framing
14
pattern that reports the far end is in “red alarm”. Red alarm and yellow
alarm states cannot exist simultaneously on a single piece of equipment
because the “yellow alarm” pattern must be received within a framed
signal.
For ESF framed signals, all bits of the Data Link channel within the
framing are set to data “0”; the customer data is undisturbed. For SF D4
framed signals, the pattern sent to indicate to the far end that inbound
framing has been lost is a coercion of the framed data so that bit 2 of each
timeslot is set to data “0” for three consecutive frames.

Terminate Mode It is out-of-service testing (removing live traffic from the T1 circuit before
14
testing begins), and is used for analyzing received T1 signal. The
transmitter sends data according to the Tx Clock setting, including framing,
line-code, and BER patterns. Terminate mode provides a nominal 100
ohm input impedance.
Bridge Mode It is in-service monitoring test and bridging the receiver input across lines
that are terminated in the network without interrupting the signal.
Monitor Mode In-service test, transmitter will activate to send test patterns.
Loop Test Loopback mode is intended for out-of-service testing of T1 lines. In this
mode, the instrument performs a “line loopback” of the data from the
receiver to the transmitter.
