Conducting RF measurement
The following sections describe how to conduct RF analysis.
Channel power
The Channel Power measurement is a common test used in the wireless industry to
measure the total transmitted power of a radio within a defined frequency channel. It
acquires a number of points representing the input signal in the time domain, trans-
forms this information into the frequency domain using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT),
and then calculates the channel power. The effective resolution bandwidth of the
frequency domain trace is proportional to the number of points acquired for the FFT.
The channel power measurement identifies the total RF power and power spectral
density (PSD) of the signal in the LTE channel bandwidth.

Auto lets the instrument detect the Physical Cell ID for the LTE signal auto-
matically
Manual sets a specific Physical Cell ID for the LTE signal manually in order to
speed up the synchronization with a BTS.
