Description
Mode
The mode that LTE RAT operates, e.g. SISO, MIMO.
Bandwidth
The bandwidth that LTE RAT operates, e.g. 10MHz.
Frequency Band
The LTE band number.
UL Frequency, DL
Frequency
Values adjust automatically depending on Frequency band chosen. By default,
Mid-Range values are used.
RX Power
Set the value of the Expected Receive Power Level taking the following into
consideration:
The coupler or direct connection being used.
The power class of the device under test. A good starting point would be
25 dBM (according to 3GPP TS 36.101, a class 3 UE should be set to
23dBm ±2dB).
The Rx Power should be set to the maximum possible power level, and it
is better to specify a slightly higher value for the Rx Power.
Specifying a value that is too low can lead to a Layer 1 system error,
which requires the S-CORE unit to be re-booted. In this case, increase the
Rx Power in steps of 1dBm until the S-CORE unit does not generate any
Layer 1 system errors.
TX Power
Set the value of the Transmit Power Level depending on the coupler or direct
connection being used.
When setting the Tx Power, use a value for a good radio connection. We
recommend -40dBm as a plausible value to achieve ideal radio conditions.
External
Attenuation (Path
The External Attenuation is the assumed path loss used for the setup in the
uplink and downlink directions.
