RF Loopback BER–Option 300
GSM Transmit Data
The minimum GSM transmit data requirements for the loopback test are a fully GSM-coded 26-channel
multiframe with either PN9 or PN15 in the payload. This is selected on the ESG by setting the timeslot
under test to normal and selecting the PN9 or PN15 multiframe PN pattern.
To meet the GSM standards requirements for full conformance, the adjacent timeslots should be loaded with
fully GSM-coded data. The ESG offers full flexibility of loading all timeslots.
Edge Frame Structure
52-frame PDCH multiframe structure.
Frames: 12 blocks of 4 frames, 2 idle frames, and 2 frames used for the PTCCH.
TS1-7 No SCH, but otherwise, don’t care

TSX 26-frame TCH Multiframe Structure
Frame 25 idle
Frame 12 don’t care
