1Making TD-SCDMA with

HSPA/8PSK Measurements

This chapter begins with instructions common to all measurements,

then details all the measurements available by pressing the Meas key

when the TD-SCDMA with HSPA/8PSK mode is selected.

NOTE If you only install Option N9079-1FP, press TD-SCDMA to select the

TD-SCDMA mode.

If you install both Option N9079-1FP and Option N9079-2FP, press

TD-SCDMA with HSPA/8PSK to select the TD-SCDMA mode.

Making TD-SCDMA with HSPA/8PSK Measurements

Setting Up and Making a Measurement

Making the Initial Signal Connection

CAUTION Before connecting a signal to the analyzer, make sure the analyzer can

safely accept the signal level provided. The signal level limits are

marked next to the RF Input connectors on the front panel.

See the Input Key menu for details on selecting input ports and the

AMPTD Y Scale menu for details on setting internal attenuation to

prevent overloading the analyzer.

Using Analyzer Mode and Measurement Presets

To set your current measurement mode to a known factory default

state, press Mode Preset. This initializes the analyzer by returning the

mode setup and all of the measurement setups in the mode to the

factory default parameters.

To preset the parameters that are specific to an active, selected

measurement, press Meas Setup, Meas Preset. This returns all the

measurement setup parameters to the factory defaults, but only for the

currently selected measurement.

The 3 Steps to Set Up and Make Measurements

All measurements can be set up using the following three steps. The

sequence starts at the Mode level, is followed by the Measurement

level, then finally, the result displays may be adjusted.

Table 1-1 The 3 Steps to Set Up and Make a Measurement

Step Action Notes

1. Select and Set Up

the Mode

a. Press Mode

b. Press a mode key, like

Spectrum Analyzer, W-CDMA

with HSDPA/HSUPA, or

GSM/EDGE.

c. Press Mode Preset.

d. Press Mode Setup

All licensed, installed modes

available are shown under the

Mode key.

Using Mode Setup, make any

required adjustments to the

mode settings. These settings

will apply to all measurements

in the mode.
