Complete TD-SCDMA test solution for network deployment, installation, and maintenance
( 01 Aug 2008 )
Anritsu Company introduces three new options that are said to make its BTS Master and Spectrum Master families the first complete TD-SCDMA handheld test solutions for deploying, installing, and maintaining TD-SCDMA networks now being deployed in China. These options enable field engineers, technicians, and contractors to accurately and easily make RF, demodulation, and over-the-air (OTA) measurements on TD-SCDMA signals.
The TD-SCDMA RF Measurement option offers a suite of test tools, including channel spectrum and power vs. time. The channel spectrum view shows the shape of the transmitter and displays the signal's channel power and occupied bandwidth. It also displays the channel power and occupied bandwidth of the left and right channels.
TD-SCDMA Demodulation measurements are used to measure the modulation performance of the selected Node B transmitter’s signal. With the demodulation measurement option, the BTS Master and Spectrum Master can display Code Domain Power (CDP) data screen and demod summary screens. The CDP data screen displays the power of the 16 codes of a demodulated TD-sSCDMA signal.
OTA measurements provide an easy way to monitor all 32 user codes outside a base station. Spectrum Master displays the codes in two convenient formats sorted by codes or by Tau, indicating distance from a base station. Code scan view displays all 32 codes in a bar graph with their individual Ec/Io and Tau. The code scan view also displays the DwPTS power and the pilot dominance. The Tau scan displays the code power in the Y axis and the Tau in the X axis.
All three options can be used with the MT8222A BTS Master, and the Spectrum Master MS2721B, MS2723B, and MS2724B analyzers.
