The complexity of 3GPP demands the flexibility and depth of modulation analysis capability provided by the W-CDMA measurement personality (Option BAF), available in the PSA Series spectrum analyzers.
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 W-CDMA measurement personality offers one-button power measurements and modulation analysis to help you quickly and easily test your W-CDMA base stations and user equipment. Measurements include:
- Composite EVM and peak code domain error over 15 slots with speed improvement for 3GPP release 6
- Synchronize with open loop transmit diversity antennas with new sync types of TSTD SCH1 and TSTD SCH2 for both code domain and mod accuracy
- Enhance robustness for adaptive modulation & coding (AMC), discontinuous transmission (DTX) and compressed mode
- Uplink power beta calculation based on DPCH/E-DPCH configuration defined in 3GPP release 6
- Uplink slot format auto detection in code domain, mod accuracy and UE slot phase (UE phase discontinuity)
- Custom predefined channels for active channel identification in code domain, mod accuracy, and UE slot phase (UE phase discontinuity)
- Capture and playback with stored date sharing between code domain and mod accuracy for in-depth analysis
- Maximum output power and total power dynamic range (channel power)
- CPICH power accuracy (code domain)
- Power control steps and dynamic range (symbol power versus time)
- Occupied bandwidth (OBW)
- Spectrum emissions mask (SEM)
- Adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACLR)
- Spurious emissions (category A and B)
- Power control (PRACH power, slot power and UE slot phase)
- Power statistics CCDF
This option can be added as a product upgrade.
