MAHO checks the capability of the mobile to assist the
base station in a handoff. For this purpose the mobile
receives a command to measure signal strength in adja-
cent channels and to report the result back to the base
station.
The mobile is able to handle MAHO.
For correct measurement you need a second RF gene-
rator that is able to perform DQPSK modulation, eg a
second STABILOCK 4031/4032.
Make the general test preparations. The channel type
must be To digital TC.
Initiate a call with
{MOBILE}
in a digital traffic channel).
Press in the basic test mask. This calls up the
{MAHO}
MAHO test mask and adopts the current DTC number.
Set the RF level in the MAHO test mask to –60 dBm
(standard).
Enter the number of an adjacent channel and the RF
band (800 MHz or 1900 MHz) in the field 2nd DTC.
Couple the second RF generator in addition to the an-
tenna terminal of the mobile and set the frequency of the
selected adjacent channel.
Set the RF level of the second unit to –118 dBm.
Start the test with
{CONTIN}
remotely controlled measurement.
Vary the RF level of the second unit to at least –51 dBm
and look for the test results.
End the test with
{STOP}
{RETURN} takes you back to the basic test mask.
