7. Activate the internal AM demodulator to output the audio signal.
a) Press the MKR FUNC key.
b) Select "Marker Demodulation".
The R&S
FSW automatically switches on the AM audio demodulator. A 1
kHz
tone can be heard over headset (via the PHONES connector). If necessary,
use the volume control to turn up the volume.
5.2.5 Measurement Examples in Zero Span
For radio transmission systems that use the TDMA method (for example, GSM), trans-
mission quality is determined not only by spectral characteristics but also by character-
istics in zero span. A timeslot is assigned to each user since several users share the
same frequency. Smooth operation is ensured only if all users adhere exactly to their
assigned timeslots.
Both the power during the send phase as well as the timing and duration of the TDMA
burst, and rise and fall times of the burst, are important.
