Adjacent Channel Power Ratio

Another common transmitter measurement is that of adjacent channel leakage power. This

is defined as the ratio of the amount of leakage power in an adjacent channel to the total

transmitted power in the main channel. This measurement can be used to replace the tradi-

tional two-tone intermodulation distortion (IMD) test for system non-linear behavior.

The result of an ACPR measurement can be expressed either as a power ratio or a power

density. In order to calculate the upper and lower adjacent channel values, the Site Master

requires the specification of four parameters:

Main Channel Frequency

Measurement Channel Bandwidth

Adjacent Channel Bandwidth

Channel Spacing

Required Equipment

Site Master S332D

Portable antenna for the selected signal frequency

Procedure

Step 1.

On the Site Master, press the

MODE

key, use the Up/Down arrow key to select

the

Spectrum Analyzer

mode and press

ENTER

Step 2.

Press the Signal Standard soft key, select the appropriate network standard, and

press

ENTER

Step 3.

Press the

Select Channel

soft key, enter a value and press

ENTER

NOTE

: For ACPR measurements, when the appropriate Channel is selected,

the Main channel bandwidth, Adjacent channel bandwidth and channel spacing

are automatically set.

Step 4.

Press the

AMPLITUDE

key and select the

Ref Level

soft key to set the reference

level to an appropriate value.

Step 5.

Press the

Atten/Preamp

soft key and set the attenuation to

Auto

Step 6.

Press the

MEAS/DISP

key and select the

Bandwidth

soft key to set the resolu-

tion bandwidth and the video bandwidth to Auto.

Step 7.

Press the

Back

soft key to return to the previous menu.

Step 8.

Press the

Trace

soft key and the

Max Hold

soft key to set max hold to On as indi-

cated to the left of the graph.

Step 9.

Press the

Measure

soft key and press the

ACPR

soft key.

Step 10.

Make the measurement by pressing the

Measure

soft key. The detection method

is automatically changed to RMS Average. Solid vertical lines are drawn on the

display to indicate the main channel. Dashed vertical lines define the adjacent

channels. The Site Master will display the measurement results.
