POWER VS TIME ANALYSIS MEASUREMENTS

The Power vs Time measurement measures the mean transmission power during the useful part of
GSM bursts and verifies that the power ramp fits within the defined mask. It also lets the user view the
rise, fall, and useful part of the GSM burst.

This measurement provides masks for both of Base Transceiver Station (BTS) and Mobile Station
(MS). The timing masks are referenced to the transition from the bit 13 to the 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.

GSM/GPRS/EDGE Power vs Time measurement provides following measurements.

 Power vs Time (Slot)

 Power vs Time (Frame)

AMP/SCALE
 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 display screen.
 REFERENCE LEVEL: Sets the maximum Y-axis range. This key is not used in the Multipath
Profile mode.
 ATTENUATION
 AUTO: Input attenuator’s value is automatically set depending on the reference level. This is
the default operation mode, so it is recommended to use this mode unless a special
measurement condition is needed.
 MANUAL: Sets the attenuator’s value for the Spectrum Analyzer RF In 50 Ω port.
 PREAMP: Turns on or off the internal pre-amplifier. Preamp results in a correction being applied
to compensate for the gain of the preamp so that amplitude readings show the value at the input
connector. This soft key toggles between the On and Off. When it is set to On, the allowable
attenuation input range is from 0 dB to 10 dB in a multiple of five. If the attenuation value is
manually set greater than 10 dB, the instrument will automatically turn off the pre-amplifier to
display low-level signal properly on the screen.
 UNITS: Sets the scale unit on the display among dBm, dBV, dBmV, dBuV, V, and W.
 EXTERNAL OFFSET: Sets an external offset value. An offset consists of a cable loss and a user
offset and the measurement result shows the value reflecting both offset values. When the
external offset value is set at 40 dB in the Spectrum mode, the measurement result compensates
40 dB at both the Spectrum Analyzer and Signal Analyzer modes.

ANALYSIS

Using Marker
MARKER
The Marker is used to get the information about a specific trace. Six markers can be set on the display
and each marker can be used independently. The X and Y coordinates of the trace are displayed when
the marker is placed on any position of the trace. The position displaying the marker’s X and Y
coordinates may be slightly different for each measurement mode and refer to the description of each
measurement. There are three different marker types available: Normal, Delta, and Delta pair. Marker
position can be set manually by entering numeric values (frequency) when one of the marker types is
selected.

 SELECT MARKER: Selects an active marker whose position can be changed with the rotary
knob or the arrow keys. The assigned number of the active marker is displayed in the Select
Marker menu box and the active marker number is also displayed right next to the active marker
on the trace when the Marker View is set to On.
 MARKER VIEW: Displays the selected marker on the screen or hides it. When the Marker View
is turned off and then on again in the same measurement mode, markers appear at the previous
positions. If a measurement mode is changed, markers are not restored to their previous positions.
 NORMAL: This Normal marker type provides the reading of a marker position on the trace along
with the marker number between one and six.
 DELTA: This Delta marker type is associated with a Normal marker. A Normal marker must be set
before a Delta marker is set. When the Delta marker is set, the position set by the Delta marker
becomes the reference position of the Normal marker and the marker’s X and Y values displays
the difference compared with the Delta marker.
 DELTA PAIR: This Delta Pair marker type is associated with a Normal marker. A Normal marker
must be set before a Delta Pair marker is set. When the Delta Pair marker is set, the position set
by the Delta Pair marker becomes the reference position of the Normal marker and the marker’s X
and Y values displays the difference compared with the Delta Pair marker. The reference position
will be varied in accordance with trace change.
 MARKER ALL OFF: Turns all the markers the screen off. When the Marker View is selected for
those markers, the instrument displays those markers back at the previous position. If a
measurement mode is changed, current settings are not restored.
 MARKER: Sets the X coordinate of the active marker as selected.
 MARKERCENTER: Sets the frequency of the active marker to the center frequency of
spectrum analyzer.
 MARKERSTART: Sets the frequency of the active marker to the start frequency of
spectrum analyzer.
 MARKERSTOP: Sets the frequency of the active marker to the stop frequency of spectrum
analyzer.

CHANNEL POWER
The Channel Power measurement is a common test used in the wireless industry to measure the total
transmitted power of a radio within a defined frequency channel. This procedure measures the total
power within the defined channel for WCDMA. This measurement is applied to design, characterize,
evaluate, and verify transmitters and their components or devices for base stations and mobile
stations.

The channel power measurement identifies the channel power within a specified bandwidth (default is
5 MHz, as per the 3GPP WCDMA technical specifications) and the power spectral density (PSD) in
dBm/Hz.

OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH
The 3GPP specifications require the occupied bandwidth (OBW) of a transmitted WCDMA signal to be
less than 5 MHz, where occupied bandwidth is defined as the bandwidth containing 99% of the total
channel power. In this measurement, the total power of the displayed span is measured. Then the
power is measured inward from the right and left extremes until 0.5% of the power is accounted for
each of the upper and lower part of the span and the calculated difference is the occupied bandwidth.

The spectrum shape of a WCDMA signal can give a useful qualitative insight into the transmitter’s
operation. Any distortion to the spectrum shape might be an indication of degradation of the
transmitter's performance.

SPECTRUM EMISSION MASK (SEM)

The Spectrum Emission Mask (SEM) measurement required by 3GPP2 specifications encompasses
different power limits and different measurement bandwidths (resolution bandwidths) at various
frequency offsets. It may 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.

The SEM measures spurious signal levels in up to five pairs of offset or region frequencies and relates
them to the carrier power.

dB step.
[dBm] or ENTER Press the dBm soft key or the ENTER hard key.

AMP/SCALE
 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 display screen.
 REFERENCE: Sets the display of measurement result to relative or absolute value. Toggle
between Abs for absolute and Rel for relative. This key is not used in the Constellation mode and
the CDP Table mode.
 ABS: The code domain power is measured absolute to channel power.
 REL: The code domain power is measured relative to channel power.
 REFERENCE LEVEL: Sets the maximum Y-axis range. This key is activated only when the
Reference is set to the Abs mode. This key is not used in the Constellation mode and the CDP
Table mode.
 ATTENUATION
 AUTO: Input attenuator’s value is automatically set depending on the reference level. This is
the default operation mode, so it is recommended to use this mode unless a special
measurement condition is needed.
 MANUAL: Sets the attenuator’s value for the Spectrum Analyzer RF In 50 Ω port.
 PREAMP: Turns on or off the internal pre-amplifier. Preamp results in a correction being applied
to compensate for the gain of the preamp so that amplitude readings show the value at the input
connector. This soft key toggles between the On and Off. When it is set to On, the allowable
attenuation input range is from 0 dB to 10 dB in a multiple of five. If the attenuation value is
manually set greater than 10 dB, the instrument will automatically turn off the pre-amplifier to
display low-level signal properly on the screen.
 EXTERNAL OFFSET: Sets an external offset value. An offset consists of a cable loss and a user
offset and the measurement result shows the value reflecting both offset values. When the
external offset value is set at 40 dB in the Spectrum mode, the measurement result compensates
40 dB at both the Spectrum Analyzer and Signal Analyzer modes.

Setting Sweep Mode

SWEEP
This hot key is used to set the sweep parameters. The user input window must be inactive first to get
the Sweep hot key function other than the number input.

 SWEEP MODE: Sets the sweep method. Toggle between Continue and Single.

CODE DOMAIN POWER

The Code Domain Power (CDP) measurement provides code domain power analysis that measures
the distribution of power across the set of code channels, normalized to the total power. It helps to
verify that each code channel is operating at its proper level and 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.
