Conducting RF measurements
The following sections describe how to conduct RF measurements.
Channel power
he Channel Power measurement is a common test used in the wireless industry to
T
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,
transforms 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, power spectral density,
and Peak to Average Ratio (PAR) of the signal within the channel bandwidth.
Setting measure setup
After configuring the spectrum measurement in
on page
measurement settings can be saved and recalled as a file by selecting File Type as
Setup and load the file onto the instrument using the Save/Load icons on the side bar.
To set measure setup
1
Tap the Setup (
2
Tap Bandwidth/SSB SCS and select the Setting in the pop-up window based on
your need. SSB is abbreviation for Synchronization Signal Block or SS Block and
it refers to Synchronization PBCH block since the synchronization signal and
PBCH channel are packed as a single block that always moves together. SSB
should be detected first in 5G NR frame. See
criteria based on the operating frequency.
3
Tap Sync Raster Offset to set the sync raster resolution to 180 kHz (FR1) or to
720 kHz (FR2) for carrier frequency center using the on-screen keyboard. See
Table 28
resolution.
4
Tap Sync SCS Offset to fine-tune the offset using the SCS. See
for the sync raster offset range per SSB SCS and sync raster resolution.
5
Tap SSB Center Frequency and input the value using the on-screen keyboard.
6
Tap GSCN and input the value using the on-screen keyboard.
Based on GSCN input frequency, the SSB frequency changes automatically.
7
Tap L to set the maximum number of SS-PBCH blocks within a single SS burst
set (A set of SS being transmitted in 5 ms window of SS transmission) among 4, 8
and 64. Refer to the selection criteria based on the table in Step 2.
