Set Up the Uplink

Set Power Control Bits
You can specify which closed loop power control bit sequence is sent on the downlink DPCCH.
Set Expected Uplink Power
You must specify what uplink power level the test set should expect. You can do this one of two ways.
You can set the MS Target Power (once Active Cell mode is implemented in the test set, this command will
force the user equipment to the specified output power. In FDD Test Mode, since the 8960 is not performing
active closed loop power control of the uplink, this command does not change the user equipment's output
power). Setting the MS Target Power automatically sets the receiver's expected power accordingly.
CALL:MS:POW:TARG <>
You can also set the receiver's expected power by setting control of the expected power to manual (automatic
off) and then setting the expected power value, as shown in the programming example below.
Set Expected Uplink Frequency
You must indicate to the 8960 at what frequency the user equipment will transmit. (Unlike other technologies,
in W-CDMA the uplink channel is not automatically determined based on the downlink channel. The offset
between the uplink and downlink may vary based upon which band class you are operating in. So, you must
specify the uplink frequency.) You can specify the expected uplink frequency by channel or by frequency.
To specify the expected uplink channel, send the following command:
CALL:UPL:CHAN <>
If you choose to specify the frequency rather than the channel, you must first set control of the expected
frequency to manual (automatic off), and then set the uplink frequency, as shown in the programming example
below.
For some testing scenarios you may choose to perform measurements on a frequency other than that which the
user equipment is using for its signaling link. To accommodate this, in addition to the commands to set
expected uplink channel or frequency, there is a command to set the measurement frequency. To set the
measurement frequency you must set measurement frequency control to manual (automatic off) and then set
the measurement frequency, as shown in the programming example below. This is only necessary if you want
to perform measurements on a frequency other than the uplink channel or frequency.
Set Expected Uplink Primary Scrambling Code
You must indicate to the 8960 what primary scrambling code the user equipment is using.
