The section contains descriptions of the CPRI RF application’s graphical user interface and provides instructions for a typical setup and measurement.

  • Page 80: Cpri Rf

    Refer to the instrument Technical Data Sheet. • SFP optical transceiver used to connect the measurement device must match the link rate of SFPs on the BBU and RRH. The CPRI RF module for MT1000A Network Master Pro has dual SFP ports.

  • Page 81: Typical Cpri Connection

    4. Connect a 3-meter LC/LC Duplex Jumper from Port A on the optical TAP to the BBU. 5. Use a compatible SFP transceiver and Simplex fiber cable to connect the Anritsu test instrument to Port AB on the optical TAP.

  • Page 82: Cpri Rf Measurement Setup

    The primary application for CPRI RF is to check for interference on the RRH-to-BBU uplink. When monitoring traffic over the CPRI link, the Anritsu test instrument will extract the IQ data and process the signal into data points to be plotted on the instrument screen.

  • Page 83: Center Frequency

    CPRI RF Measurement Setup 5.4.1.2 Center Frequency When the carrier frequency is set as described above, the center frequency defaults to the same value. To allow the CPRI signal to move off center (pan), adjust the center frequency to a different value. Depending on the value entered, this may automatically adjust the frequency span, as there cannot be panning without zooming.

  • Page 87 CPRI RF Measurement Setup AxC Container/Group The CPRI AxC contains the IQ data used to generate the RF spectrum. Antenna container mapping determines the location of IQ data for a given carrier (that is, the signal). Container groups are used to achieve the desired sample rate by aggregating a number of containers into groups that form one basic frame.

  • Page 88: Radio Preset

    CPRI RF Application 5.4.4.2 Radio Preset The easiest way to configure the Network Master for CPRI RF testing is to use one of the radio presets provided with the application. By doing so, the IQ bit width, number of reserve bits, and start container settings appropriate for the selected vendor will be applied automatically.

  • Page 89: Measurement View

    CPRI RF Measurement Setup Aggregation Aggregation is common with some LTE equipment manufacturers. It refers to the aggregation of smaller carriers to make one large carrier within one AxC. For example, two 5 MHz carriers can be aggregated to make a single 10 MHz carrier. For a single carrier, set CPRI aggregation off.
