Chapter 4, CDMA Transmitter Tests
Measuring Minimum/Maximum Power
Measuring Minimum/Maximum Power
The Test Set provides a quick way to determine an MSUT’s minimum power and
maximum power using both open loop and closed loop power control. Two power
measurements will be displayed at the end of this procedure, which takes several
seconds to complete.
Test Prerequisites
•
The Channel Power measurement should be calibrated at least as often as the following
conditions arise:
•
5 °C change in operating temperature
•
Power cycle
•
Daily
See
"Calibrating Channel Power Measurements" on page 29
if necessary, and
then return to this procedure. If the Channel Power measurement has been calibrated,
zeroing the Average Power measurement is not necessary.
NOTE:
The following procedure assumes that an instrument PRESET will be performed as part of
setting up a call. This clears all settings from other tests that may affect the accuracy of this
test, and allows the procedure to begin from a known instrument state.
