Overview of Measurement Measurement ends when a sequence is repeated for the specified number of times. The following two measurement modes are available. • TRX measurement mode • RX measurement mode...
Chapter 3 Measurement 3.2.2 TRX measurement mode In the TRX measurement mode, the transmission power measurement (TX) and SG output setup for reception power measurement (RX) are performed at the same time. For an example of the measurement waveform during TRX measurement, see Figure 3.2.2-1.
Overview of Measurement 3.2.3 RX measurement mode In the RX measurement mode, only the SG output setup for reception power measurement (RX) is performed. An example of a signal in the RX measurement mode is shown in Figure 3.2.3-1. Unlike the RX operation in the TRX measurement, a trigger sequence signal is transmitted before the measurement sequence in the RX measurement.
Chapter 3 Measurement 3.3 Measurement Flow This section describes the measurement flow from the actual start of measurement until measurement ends. The following flow chart is a simplified representation of the measurement flow. Set up the RX waveform. RX measurement mode Select the measurement mode.
Measurement Flow 3.3.1 Setting up RX waveform The waveform selected by the Signal Generator application is used as the RX signal waveform for received power measurement. For details about MS2830A Signal Analyzer Vector Signal setting up a waveform, see Generator Operation Manual Remote Control. 3.3.2 Selecting measurement mode Set the measurement mode.
Chapter 3 Measurement 3.3.5 Setting up TX Set up transmission power measurement. Specify the frequency span, measurement filter, measurement interval ratio, level trigger, frequency for each sequence, and level for each segment repeated in a sequence. When specifying the TX level, specify the level of the signal expected to be input to the measuring instrument.
Measurement Flow 3.3.6 Setting up trigger sequence Specify the short burst output level, segment count of the short burst, and segment count of the time offset for the trigger sequence. Short Burst Output Level Options: –120 to 30 dBm Resolution: 0.1 dBm Segment Count of ShortBurst Options:...
Chapter 3 Measurement 3.3.9 Finishing measurement Make sure that measurement has finished. Use the measurement status query command STATus:ERRor? to check whether measurement has finished. 3.3.10 Checking measurement results When measurement finishes, make sure that there is no error. If measurement finished normally, read out the measurement results.
Measurement Screen 3.4 Measurement Screen The measurement status, frequency list for Tx and Rx, and level list for Tx and Rx are displayed on the measurement screen. Figure 3.4-1 Measurement screen (in RX measurement mode) [1] Measurement status Displays the measurement status. Ready The MS2830A can start measurement.
