Chapter 8 Using NSA Signal Analyzer
Introduction
Introduction
VIAVI SPA06MA-O NSA (Non-standalone) Signal Analyzer focuses on enhanced
mobile broadband to provide higher data bandwidth and reliable connectivity. In NSA
mode, 5G networks will be aided by existing 4G infrastructure which means 5G
system does not operate alone but utilizes LTE-NR dual connectivity if needed.
SPA06MA-O provides LTE and NR measurement simultaneously with easy setup.
Its main 5G NSA test functions are focused on over-the-air measurement such as NSA
analyzer, NSA scanner, and NSA route map.

S-SS RSRP (Secondary Synchronized Signal – Reference Signal Received
Power) — linear average over the power contributions (in Watts) of the resource
elements which carry secondary synchronization signals
•
P-SS RSRP (Primary Synchronization Signal – Reference Signal Received
Power) — average power measurement through all the primary sync signals

S-SS SINR (Secondary Synchronization Signal – Signal to Interference Plus
Noise Ratio) — linear average over the power contribution (in Watts) of the
resource elements carrying secondary synchronization signals divided by the
