CALL:AWGNoise:POWer
CALL:AWGNoise:POWer[:SAMPlitude]
Function The setting form of this command performs two functions: (1) sets the additive white gaussian
noise (AWGN) level and (2) turns the AWGN on/off state to on. The query form returns the
AWGN power level or NAN.
AWGN and cell power (see
total forward channel RF output power. Depending on the cell power setting, an AWGN level may
be within the range listed below but cause an error message to be displayed. Possible causes are:
• Sum of AWGN and cell power causing total RF power limits to be exceeded (see
"CALL:TOTal:POWer"
• Greater than 10 dB difference between cell power and AWGN.
• Amplitude offset causing total RF power limits to be exceeded (see
set or query the amplitude offset value).
Setting Range:
• -170dBm/3.84 MHz to +37dBm/3.84 MHz, 9.91 E+37
(-120 dBm/3.84 MHz to -13 dBm/3.84 MHz actual hardware range with amplitude offset = 0)
The actual power range is defined by adding the value of the associated amplitude offset to
the range above. For example, if amplitude offset is -3.5 dB, then the power range will be
-123.5 dBm/3.84 MHz to -16.5 dBm/3.84 MHz.
Resolution: 0.01 dBm/3.84 MHz
Query Range: -170 dBm/3.84 MHz to +35 dBm/3.84 MHz, 9.91 E+37
Resolution: 0.01 dBm/3.84 MHz
*RST Setting 9.91 E+37
Requirements Test Application Revision: A.02.00 and above
Programming Example
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:AWGNOISE:POWER:SAMPLITUDE -30"
