Making Measurements

 

Measurements

Phase and

Phase error and frequency error are measures of the modulation and noise

Frequency Error

performance of the radio’s transmitter path.

Measurement

 

 

Method

 

Select the PHASE FRQ field on the cell control screen to access the phase and

 

frequency measurements.

 

 

NOTE

The test is run automatically when the screen is selected.

 

The measurement fields in this screen are RMS Phase Error, Peak Phase Error and

 

 

Frequency Error (1), see Figure 2-7 on page 2-15.

 

The Agilent 8922M/S input sensitivity (2) can be varied, if necessary, to ensure that

 

the input signal level matches the Agilent 8922M/S RF Analyzer. Valid

 

measurements are only made when the signal is within 3 dB of the RF Analyzer

 

setting.

 

The Agilent 8922M has the option of using multi-burst measurements (4). This

 

gives the ability to make several phase and frequency measurements using more

 

than one burst. For more information refer to Chapter 4, Screens, Phase and

 

Frequency Error screen.
