TD‑SCDMA/HSPA+ Over‑the‑Air Measurements
TD‑SCDMA/HSPA+ OTA Code Scan
Code Scan
Scans and displays the power of all 32 SYNC‑DL codes in sequential order, including Ec/Io (dB) and Tau (µs). DwPTS Power and Pilot Dominance values are displayed below the table of codes (Figure: TD‑SCDMA/HSPA+ OTA Code Scan). The Scrambling Codes (SC) corresponding to each SYNC‑DL code are also displayed next to each code for easy reference.
Tau Scan
Displays the code power versus Tau in a bar graph format. The horizontal axis (Tau) has dynamic scale. The six strongest SYNC‑DL codes are displayed below the bar graph with their Tau (us) and Ec/Io (dB) values. DwPTS Power and Pilot Dominance values are displayed below the table of the six strongest codes (Figure: TD‑SCDMA/HSPA+ OTA Tau Scan).
DwPTS Pwr
The power in the Downlink Pilot slot, excluding the gap.
Pilot Dominance
Pilot dominance is a measure of the strength of the strongest code compared to the next strongest code in the same channel.
