ACPR Accuracy
a
a. The accuracy of the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio will depend on the mixer drive level and whether
the distortion products from the analyzer are coherent with those in the UUT. These specifications
apply even in the worst case condition of coherent analyzer and UUT distortion products. For ACPR
levels other than those in this specifications table, the optimum mixer drive level for accuracy is
approximately −37 dBm − (ACPR/3), where the ACPR is given in (negative) decibels.
RRC weighted, 1.28 MHz noise bandwidth,
method = IBW
Radio Offset Freq
MS (UE) 1.6 MHz ±0.15 dB At ACPR range of −30 to −36 dBc with
optimum mixer level
b
b. To meet this specified accuracy when measuring mobile station (MS) or user equipment (UE) within
3 dB of the required −33 dBc ACPR, the mixer level (ML) must be optimized for accuracy. This opti-
mum mixer level is −25 dBm, so the input attenuation must be set as close as possible to the average
input power − (−25 dBm). For example, if the average input power is −6 dBm, set the attenuation to
19 dB. This specification applies for the normal 3.5 dB peak-to-average ratio of a single code. Note
that if the mixer level is set to optimize dynamic range instead of accuracy, accuracy errors are nomi-
nally doubled.
MS (UE) 3.2 MHz ±0.16 dB At ACPR range of −40 to −46 dBc with
optimum mixer level
c
c. ACPR accuracy at 3.2 MHz offset is warranted when the input attenuator is set to give an average
mixer level of −13 dBm.
BTS 1.6 MHz ±0.34 dB At ACPR range of −37 to −43 dBc with
optimum mixer level
d
d. In order to meet this specified accuracy, the mixer level must be optimized for accuracy when measur-
ing node B Base Transmission Station (BTS) within 3 dB of the required -40 dBc ACPR. This opti-
mum mixer level is −23 dBm, so the input attenuation must be set as close as possible to the average
input power − (−23 dBm). For example, if the average input power is -5 dBm, set the attenuation to
18 dB. This specification applies for the normal 10 dB peak-to-average ratio (at 0.01% probability) for
Test Model 1. Note that, if the mixer level is set to optimize dynamic range instead of accuracy, accu-
racy errors are nominally doubled.
BTS 3.2 MHz ±0.18 dB At ACPR range of −42 to −48 dBc with
optimum mixer level
e
e. ACPR accuracy at 3.2 MHz offset is warranted when the input attenuator is set to give an average
mixer level of −12 dBm.
