R&S FSH 

Digital Modulation Analyzer 

Measurements on 3GPP FDD Signals 

Operating Manual 1173.6275.12 - 30 

263 

I/Q Imbalance 

Shows the I/Q Imbalance of the signal in %. 

This value is valid only when the R&S FSH is in channel search mode. 

Composite EVM 

Shows the Error Vector Magnitude in %. 

The EVM is defined as the ratio of the mean error power of the signal to the power of 
an ideal reference signal. To calculate the mean error power, the root mean square 
average (of the real and imaginary parts of the signal) is used. 

This value is valid only when the R&S FSH is in channel search mode. 

Active Channels 

Shows the number of active channels in the signal. 

Scr Code Found 

Shows the number of the primary and secondary scrambling code, regardless if it has 
been found automatically or entered manually.  

Occupied Bandwidth 

Shows the occupied bandwidth of the signal in Hz. 

You can control if the occupied bandwidth is measured or not. By default, it is not. 

►  Press the MEAS key. 

►  Press the "Meas Settings" softkey. 

►  Select the "[ ] Occupied Bandwidth" menu item. 

The R&S FSH determines the occupied bandwidth in addition to the other global 
results. When the measurement has been turned on, the menu item is marked by 
an [X]. 

Peak CDE (15 ksps) 

Shows the Peak Code Domain Error of the signal in dB.  

The Peak Code Domain Error is defined as the maximum code domain error power 
that occurs in the measurement. The code domain error is the difference in power of 
the test signal and an ideal reference signal. 

This value is valid only when the R&S FSH is in channel search mode. 

Avg. RCDE (64QAM) 

Shows the Average Relative Code Domain Error of the signal.  

Note that only channels with a 64QAM modulation are considered in this 
measurement. 

This value is valid only when the R&S FSH is in channel search mode.
