Frequency Banded Parameters
The majority of the test set's parameters are active regardless of the frequency band selected. There are,
however, six parameters that have a band specifier; PGSM, EGSM, DCS, or PCS. These exceptions are
referred to as frequency banded parameters.
Frequency banded parameters are activated upon selection of a band. Parameters that select frequency bands
are the cell band, traffic band, and manual band fields.
The user can set values for parameters that are activated by a band that is not currently selected, and the test
set will store the setting for future use. For example, during a call on the PGSM band, the MS TX level can be
set to 10 for the DCS frequency band. When a handover (see
119) to the DCS band is made, the MS TX level of 10 for DCS will already be set.
If the user does not specify a frequency band when setting frequency banded parameters, settings to the
parameter will be made in the currently selected band.
List of Frequency Banded Parameters
You can control the frequency banded parameters with these six parameters:
For control of the broadcast channel, channel number, and BA table:
• Broadcast channel see
• BA table (broadcast allocation table and broadcast allocation table points) see
For control of the traffic band, channel number, and level:
• Traffic channel and traffic band see
• MS TX level (mobile station transmit level) see MS TX LEVEL NEW
For manual control of the test set's receiver:
• Manual channel see
• Expected power see
