The WCDMA/HSDPA signal analyzer supports the following measurement modes:
• RF Measurements
• Demodulator
• Over-The-Air (OTA) Measurements
Connect the instrument to any Node B/BTS for accurate RF and demodulator measurements.
Note
The W-CDMA/HSDPA Demodulator option demodulates both W-CDMA and HSDPA signals. Refer to the instrument Technical Data Sheet for option availability.
The instrument can measure node B transmitter performance over the air or directly. To measure a W-CDMA signal over the air, connect the appropriate frequency band antenna to the RF In connector. To connect the node B equipment directly, connect the power amplifier of the node B equipment to the RF In connector of the unit using a coupler or attenuator.
Note
The maximum input damage level of the RF In port is +30 dBm. To prevent damage, always use a coupler or high power attenuator.
