Page 34: W-Cdma/Hspa+ Measurements
Carrier Feedthrough Carrier Feedthrough measures the amount of unmodulated signal that is leaking through the transmitter and is displayed in the Code Domain Power display. The W-CDMA 3GPP specification does not specify carrier feedthrough measurement. Code Domain Power displays how much of the channel power is in each Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF code).
Page 35 Spreading Factor (OVSF) According to the 3GPP standard the spreading factor can be from 4 to 512, and the instrument can be set to a maximum spreading factor of 256 or 512. Freq Error Frequency error is the difference between the received center frequency and the specified center frequency.
Page 36 PCDE is the maximum value for the code domain error for all codes (both active and inactive). In the 3GPP standard, in order to address the possibility of uneven error power distribution in W-CDMA, the EVM measurement has been supplemented with PCDE. The 3GPP standard requires that the PCDE not exceed –33 dB at a spreading factor of 256.
Page 37: General Measurement Setups
In a W-CDMA system, the number of chips per data symbol is called the Spreading Factor. The lower the spreading factor the higher the data rate. According to the 3GPP standard, the spreading factor can vary from 4 to 512 and the maximum spreading factor is either 256 or 512.

Introduction Coverage Mapping allows users to measure and map Sync Signal Power, Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Receive Quality (RSRQ), and SINR. The Anritsu easyMap Tools program creates special maps compatible with Anritsu handheld spectrum analyzers. The software creates files with or without GPS information. The files compatible with coverage mapping will have a .map extension.

Page 209 Recall the Default Grid The instrument can make coverage mapping measurements even when an Anritsu easyMap Tools file of the current indoor or outdoor location is not available. In such cases, use the default grid map, save the KML points, and recall them at a later time with a map.
