Open Loop Power-Control Time-Response Test

This product note will help you measure the “time
response of open loop power control” for a CDMA
mobile cellular telephone. The equipment and pro-
cedures in this document apply to CDMA mobile
cellular telephones based on TIA/EIA/IS-95-A, or
related industry standards.

Section 1—Introduction

The open loop power control time-response is
defined as the amount of time (t) it takes the
mobile phone to respond to and acquire equilib-
rium following a step increase in base station
power, 

P

in

This test verifies that the mobile is capable of
adjusting its transmit power throughout its dynamic
range of transmission within a power versus time
mask determined by applicable standards. 

An example of this mask, with a 

P

in

= 20 dB and

t = 100 ms, is shown in Figure 1. For TIA/EIA/IS-

95-A, the upper and lower limits of this mask are
determined by the equations shown on the follow-
ing page.
