The switching point is represented by a red vertical line. All time slots after the
switching point are considered as downlink slots. Because the R&S FSH-K48 only
allows measurements on the downlink, it evaluates the results (EVM or C/I) only for the
time slots that carry downlink information. So, if a time slot contains power, but does
not show EVM or C/I results, the switching point is probably set in a way that this time
slot is considered as an uplink slot.
For each time slot (0 to 6) and the two pilot time slots (DwPTS and UpPTS), the result
display shows the following results.
Slot number
Shows the time slot type.
The normal time slots are numbered from 0 to 6. Time slot 0 is always reserved for the
downlink and time slot 1 always reserved for the uplink. The remaining time slots can
either carry uplink or downlink information, depending on the switching point you have
set.
The special time slots are labeled DwPTS and UpPTS. They are shorter than normal
time slots and carry the pilot information for uplink (UpPTS) and downlink (DwPTS).
Note that the UpPTS is not analyzed by the R&S FSH-K48. Thus, the software does
not display results for this time slot.
Power
Shows the absolute power level of each time slot.
C/I
Shows the carrier-to-interference ratio.
The C/I is the usable signal power in relation to the error power (difference between
the measured signal and the reference signal).
Composite EVM
Shows the composite EVM of each time slot in %.
