Making Measurements

Measurements

After making one type of measurement, another can be made by simply pressing CELL CNTL and, using the knob, selecting the next measurement of your choice.

Peak Carrier Power The peak transmitter carrier power averages the transmitter carrier power for a

Measurement	single burst. This average is calculated over the time that the data information bits
	are transmitted.
	Select the Pwr Zero field, disconnect external source and lower BCH power, (3),
NOTE
	see Figure 2-6 on page 2-14, to zero the power meter before any signal is applied.
	Method
	The peak transmitter carrier power value is displayed on the cell control screen.
	After you have set up a call (Active Cell) or manually aligned the Agilent
	8922M/S to the mobile phone (Test Mode/CW Generator), the Peak Power
	reading is displayed in the center of the screen (1).
	Below the CALL STATUS area of the cell control screen are reports from the
	mobile phone. These appear only when using Active Cell. They indicate the TX
	Level which the phone is transmitting and the RX Level and RX Quality of the
	received signal, (2), see Figure 2-6 on page 2-14.
