Receiver Control
Expected Power
The expected power parameter is available to the user regardless of the receiver control setting. The MS TX
level parameter sets the
MS uplink power control level ranges while expected power sets the MS uplink power in dBm.
Expected power defines the expected input power at the RF IN /OUT connector on the front panel of the test
set. The range of expected power is beyond the capability of the test set's hardware. This is because expected
power is intended to reflect the potential range of RF power at the DUT. This range of RF power is meant to
accommodate the use of a gain or loss network between the DUT and the test set. See "Measurement Related
Configuration" on page 563 for details about amplitude offset.
The upper and lower limits of expected power provide boundaries for the combination of amplitude offset and
expected power. If the user sets expected power to +52 dBm and the amplitude offset to −3 dB, the calculated
receiver power will be 49 dBm, but the test set shall be set to +43 dBm, the upper limit of the hardware. If the
calculated value of receiver power goes below −25 dB, the lower limit of the hardware, the test set shall be set
to −25 dB.
Expected power is always overwritten by settings made to the MS TX Level parameter.
Setting the expected power will not set receiver control to manual.
