Advanced Features

The mobile transmitter output ramp should settle so that it complies with the power mask (GSM Rec 11.10) by the time output level calibration is done in the manufacturing process. The power mask is displayed in the Power Ramp screens.

Peak Carrier Power measurement method is not made to GSM Rec. 11.10. If you need to make a measurement to this specification, go to the Power Ramp Summary screen. The field in the top right-hand corner displays the Peak Carrier Power to GSM Rec. 11.10. Refer to PWR RAMP: SUMMARY screen (item 5) for a description.

The algorithm for the Peak Carrier Power measurement is based on the use of a fast sampler taking continuous asynchronous measurements of the power detected at the RF IN/OUT port.

The sampler accumulates 75μS sample bins containing the maximum power observed during the period and the minimum power observed during the period. Sampling rate is 10 MHz. The maximum and minimum values observed are based on 750 individual samples within the period.

A trigger is provided at the middle of bit 0 of the burst. (When using RF Rise triggering, the actual trigger may occur several bits earlier due to the ramp up of the burst.) In response to this trigger, the following 6 sample bins (0 - 5) from the sampler are saved and reported to the measurement processor.
