General Information 1-6 Standard Accessories Standard Accessories The Anritsu Cell Master includes a one year warranty which includes: battery, firmware, software, and Certificate of Calibration and Conformance. The Cell Master Technical Data Sheet (P/N 11410-00485) contains a list and description of standard accessories.
The Cable and Antenna Analyzer mode requires calibration standards for OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD (OSL) or InstaCal module, which are sold separately. Anritsu recommends allowing the instrument to warm up to typical operation Note temperature (~15 minutes) before calibrating.
1-13 Annual Verification Anritsu recommends an annual calibration and performance verification of the Cell Master and the OSL calibration components and InstaCal module by local Anritsu service centers. The Cell Master is self-calibrating and there are no field-adjustable components. The OSL calibration components are crucial to the integrity of the calibration.

Chapter 2 — GSM/GPRS/EDGE Signal Analyzer Introduction The Global Systems for Mobile (GSM) communication is a globally accepted standard for digital cellular communication. GSM uses a combination of Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA). Within each band are approximately one hundred available carrier frequencies on 200 kHz spacing (FDMA), and each carrier is broken up into time-slots so as to support eight separate conversations (TDMA).

Chapter 3 — W-CDMA/HSPA+ Signal Analyzer Introduction The WCDMA/HSPA+ signal analyzer supports the following measurement modes: • RF Measurements • Demodulator • Over-The-Air (OTA) Measurements Connect the instrument to any Node B/BTS for accurate RF and demodulator measurements. The W-CDMA/HSPA+ Demodulator option demodulates both W-CDMA and Note HSPA+ signals.

3-2 W-CDMA/HSPA+ Measurements W-CDMA/HSPA+ Signal Analyzer W-CDMA/HSPA+ Measurements Use an applicable band pass filter to eliminate out of band signals that can cause Note mixer saturation. Carrier Frequency Carrier Frequency is the selected transmitter operating center frequency entered by the user or calculated from the signal standard and channel number entered by the user.
Page 133
W-CDMA/HSPA+ Signal Analyzer 3-2 W-CDMA/HSPA+ Measurements Channel Power Channel power is the total power transmitted in the 5 MHz W-CDMA channel specified. Channel Power measures the node B/base station transmitting power across the entire 5 MHz W-CDMA (BTS) channel. Channel power is displayed in dBm and Watts. For Over the Air (OTA) measurements, the channel power will vary as the signal path from the node B transmitter to the instrument varies.
Page 134
3-2 W-CDMA/HSPA+ Measurements W-CDMA/HSPA+ Signal Analyzer Peak to Average Power Peak to Average power is the ratio of the peak power and the RMS power of the signal calculated over one frame interval and is displayed in dB. Peak CD Error (Peak Code Domain Error) PCDE takes the noise and projects the maximum impact it will have on all OVSF codes.

2-5 Cable and Antenna Measurements Overview Cable and Antenna Analyzer Cable and Antenna Measurements Overview Line Sweep Fundamentals In wireless communication, the transmit and receive antennas are connected to the radio through a transmission line. This transmission line is usually a coaxial cable or waveguide. This connection system is referred to as a transmission feed line system.
Page 361
Cable and Antenna Analyzer 2-5 Cable and Antenna Measurements Overview Line Sweep Types Return Loss / VSWR Measurement Return Loss measures the reflected power of the system in decibels (dB). This measurement can also be taken in the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) mode, which is the ratio of the transmitted power to the reflected power.

2-6 Line Sweep Measurements Cable and Antenna Analyzer Line Sweep Measurements This section provides typical line sweep measurements used to analyze the performance of a transmission feed line system including Return Loss, Cable Loss, and DTF. Return Loss Measurement Return Loss measures the reflected power of the system in decibels (dB). This measurement can also be taken in the Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) mode, which is the ratio of the transmitted power to the reflected power.

2-6 Line Sweep Measurements Cable and Antenna Analyzer Distance-To-Fault (DTF) DTF reveals the precise fault location of components in the transmission line system. This test helps to identify specific problems in the system, such as connector transitions, jumpers, kinks in the cable or moisture intrusion. To measure the distance of a cable, DTF measurements can be made with an open or a short connected at the end of the cable.

Cable and Antenna Analyzer 2-6 Line Sweep Measurements Fault Resolution Fault resolution is the system's ability to separate two closely spaced discontinuities. If the fault resolution is 10 feet and there are two faults 5 feet apart, the instrument will not be able to show both faults unless Fault Resolution is improved by widening the frequency span.

Appendix A — Windowing Introduction The theoretical requirement for inverse FFT is for the data to extend from zero frequency to infinity. Side lobes appear around a discontinuity because the spectrum is cut off at a finite frequency. Windowing reduces the side lobes by smoothing out the sharp transitions at the beginning and the end of the frequency sweep.
