1xEV-DO, the evolution of cdma2000 that brings enhanced data transfer, is based on the cdma2000 format and infrastructure but presents additional challenges in the design and test of access network and access terminal. The 1xEV-DO measurement personality (Option 204), available in the PSA Series spectrum analyzers, makes it easier for you to develop and manufacture 1xEV-DO systems.
Because of the strong demands on higher data rate mainly in reverse link, 1xEV-DO standard has been evolving from revision 0 to revision A. 1xEV-DO measurement personality can measure such subtype 2 signals defined in revision A for modulation analysis with the latest firmware on PSA. (References: 3GPP2 C.S0032-A and C.S0033-A, C.S0024-A).
The PSA Series offers spectrum analysis with world-class accuracy and dynamic range plus optional measurement personalities for performing wireless format power and modulation measurements.
The 1xEV-DO measurement personality offers one-button power measurements and modulation analysis to help you quickly and easily test your 1xEV-DO access network and access terminal.
Followings include the recent enhancements to Option 204:
- All Rho results can be provided as Rho for Pilot, MAC, Preamble, Data, and Overall-1/2 as defined in Waveform Quality in 3GPP2 1xEV-DO
- Enhanced modulation analysis for AMC (Adaptive Modulation & Coding) used in MAC and Data channels in forward link
- Auto detection of active slot or idle slot and selective averaging for mixed slot signals
- More traces and views for in-depth signal analysis: Code Domain Error, Slot Power, Code Symbol Demod Bits, and Data Multiplexed Symbol Demod Bits
This option can be added as a product upgrade.
