3 General Description

The "LTE eNodeB Multi Evaluation" measurement provides quick and flexible TX tests
on LTE downlink SISO and MIMO 2x2 signals. For MIMO 2x2 signals, you can mea-
sure both antenna signals, but not simultaneously.

With option R&S CMW-KN500, you can measure FDD signals. With option R&S CMW-
KN550, you can measure TDD signals.

The tests cover the following eNodeB transmitter properties:

●

eNodeB output power, output power dynamics (OFDM Symbol Power)

●

Modulation accuracy for each OFDM symbol (EVM, Magnitude Error, Phase Error)

●

I/Q Constellation diagram

●

Out-of-band emissions (Spectrum Emission Mask and ACLR)

●

eNodeB power variation across subcarriers (Spectrum Flatness)

Many of the tests and conformance requirements are specified in 3GPP TS 36.104 or
3GPP TS 36.141.

The following sections describe how to perform and configure the measurement.

3.1 Test Setup

The external RF signal source (base station, signal generator etc.) is connected to one
of the RF input connectors (RF COM) at the front panel of the R&S

 

CMW. No addi-

tional cabling and no external trigger is needed.

The input level ranges of all RF COM connectors are identical.
