The SeeGull IB
flex
supports scanning of
numerous GSM and LTE BCCH, and
WCDMA channels during the same test.
GSM C/I Option (OP633)
A C/I option is standard if GSM Technology
is ordered and available as an option for
fielded GSM SeeGull IB
flex
scanning
receivers. This option provides co-channel
interference (C/I) measurements as well as
decoding of BSIC (Base Station
Identification Code).
Mobile Blindscan Option (Mobile
Measurement):
OP542 - All Technologies
OP542-GSM
OP542-WCDMA
OP542-CDMA
OP542-EVDO
OP542-TD-LTE
OP542-FD-LTE
Mobile Blindscan (Mobile Measurement)
combines the functionality
to detect new
channels in defined Bands, known as
Blindscan, and performs additional
measurement on the identified channels. When
channels are no longer recognized, they are
removed from the monitoring channels.
LTE (FDD and TDD) 2x2 and 4x2 MIMO
Option (OP635)
(
IBflex Only
)
MIMO testing is available for 2x2 and 4x2
FD-LTE and TD-LTE. This enables users to
determine the maximum throughput
capability of the RF environment and the
degree of correlation between the 2 base
station transmission antennas for the
purpose of optimizing throughput.
Wi-Fi Testing (OP524-WI-FI)
The Wi-Fi Testing Option enables users to
collect measurements for Wi-Fi network
using one of our supported USB adapters.
Measurements can be conducted on both
bands simultaneously, providing detailed
information about every detected network.
User experience measurements include
throughput for UDPO and TCP.
CDMA/ EV-DO Holdover (08902(S) Model)
The Holdover Option enables users to
collect measurements even when a GPS
signal is not present for CDMA/EV-DO
technologies. This option maintains the
stability of the internal clock for a greater
period in the absence of the GPS signal
(normally the GPS signal is used for this).
Examples include indoor applications,
driving through tunnels or in urban areas,
where maintaining GPS (which is used by
the IB
flex
scanning receiver for both
location and timing) is difficult. (See Section
3 Operations for more details.)
Signal Analyzer Adapter (OP437)
This adapter for the IB
flex
scanning receiver
simplifies
it’s use in DAS head ends (and
other network equipment) for activities such
as commissioning and verification. See the
appendix below for more details.
Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (OP524-DSS)
This option is available on FD-LTE and TD-
LTE for users to accurately measure the
LTE frames for cases employing Dynamic
Spectrum Sharing with 5G NR.
