4.8 7th Step - MS Average Power
The average output power of the mobile is measured at three levels. The levels which are used for the
measurement depend on the configured PCL mode, see section 9.5.2. The default PCL mode is the
Auto mode.
Auto mode
The first level of measurement is on the minimum allowable output power and depends on the power
class of the mobile and the external attenuation set. The CTS takes the power class of the mobile into
consideration automatically. The second level of measurement is an intermediate value between the
maximum power level of the mobile and the minimum power level used. The third level of measurement
is on the maximum output power and also depends on the power class of the mobile.
User mode
Power control levels defined by the user in the Config-Autotest (see section 9.5.2) are used for the
average output power measurement.
The following tables show the power values in dBm for the power control levels for GSM, GSM 850,
PCS and PCN. Included in the listing are the maximum values for the power classes and the wide
tolerances.
