Step 10. Press the MEAS key to initiate actual measurement. The Site Master will display
the measurement results in the display area.
The Site Master default value for the % method is 99%, and N dBc down is 3 dB
down.
The table below provides typical instrument settings for measuring a CW and an
IS-95 CDMA signal.
Channel Power Measurement
One of the most common measurements for a transmitter is that of channel power. This test
measures the output power, or channel power, of a transmitter over a frequency range and a
specific time interval. Channel Power measurements are used to validate transmitter perfor-
mance, verify compliance with FCC regulations, and keep overall system interference at a
minimum.
Out-of-specification power measurements indicate system faults in the power amplifier or
in-filter circuits.
Channel Power Measurement with the Site Master
The Site Master can be used to measure CDMA signals in terms of channel power. It is nec
-
essary to use precise and specific settings to accurately measure the CDMA signal because
the CDMA is different from CW signals.
For accurate IS-95 CDMA measurements, use the following settings:
q
CDMA Channel Bandwidth: 1.23 MHz
q
RBW setting: 10 kHz
q
VBW ³ 3´ RBW or at least 30 kHz
q
Averaging function turned off
