c) Notes on the AAA Measurement Results:

1. The DL RX Power is the total power in the selected 5 MHz channel. The DL Rx

Power measurement is updated approximately once per second.

2. The Pilot Received Signal Code Power (RSCP) measurements are updated

approximately once every four seconds after the antenna assistant finds a valid

pilot channel within the selected 5MHz bandwidth. It may take up to one minute to

perform the initial scan and report Pilot RSCP results.

3. The most recent results are displayed in the first row, and previous results move

down one row in the table.

4. Data is columnized based on the most recent pilot measurement results.

5. The pilot measurements display up to the four strongest rays. The measurement

result could show one pilot with four rays, two pilots with two rays each, one pilot

with three rays and one pilot with one ray, or four pilots with one ray each (or

fewest results if no additional pilots are found).

6. Multiple rays of the same pilot will be shown if the weaker rays are within 10dB of

the strongest ray.

7. The Pilot RSCP data is sorted based on the total power of all multipaths for each

particular scramble code. For instance, if one pilot has two rays, each at –63dBm

(for a total power of -60 dBm), they will be listed first if all other pilots are less than

-60 dBm.

8. If two or more multipath signals are received, then the power of each ray will be

displayed in order of arrival. The first ray is the line of sight signal and should be

the strongest. However, it is possible for the later rays to be stronger.
