The RMS detector is used for obtaining correct power measurement results. There-
fore this requires no software correction factors.
Measured values are output as a list. The powers of the transmission channels are
output in dBm, the powers of the adjacent channels in dBm
(CP/ACP ABS) or dB
(CP/ACP REL) .
The sweep time is selected depending on the desired reproducibility of results.
Reproducibility increases with sweep time since power measurement is then per-
formed over a longer time period.
As a general approach, it can be assumed that approx. 500 non-correlated mea-
sured values are required for a reproducibility of 0.5 dB (99% of the measurements
are within 0.5 dB of the true measured value). This holds true for white noise. The
measured values are considered as non-correlated when their time interval corre-
sponds to the reciprocal of the measured bandwidth.
With IS 136 the measurement bandwidth is approx. 25 kHz, i.e. measured values at
an interval of 40 µs are considered as non correlated. A measurement time of 20 ms
is thus required per channel for 1000 measured values. This is the default sweep
time which the R&S FSP sets in coupled mode. Approx. 5000 measured values are
required for a reproducibility of 0.1 dB (99%), i.e. the measurement time is to be
increased to 200 ms.

ADJUST REF
LVL
The ADJUST REF LVL softkey adjusts the reference level of the R&S FSP to the
measured channel power. This ensures that the settings of the RF attenuation and
the reference level are optimally adjusted to the signal level without overloading the
R&S FSP or limiting the dynamic range by a too small S/N ratio.
Since the measurement bandwidth for channel power measurements is significantly
lower than the signal bandwidth, the signal path may be overloaded although the
trace is still significantly below the reference level.

For manual setting of the test parameters different from the settings made with
ADJUST SETTINGS the following should be observed:
Frequency span
The frequency span must at least cover the channels to be measured plus a mea-
surement margin of 10%.
For channel power measurement, the span is 1.1 × channel bandwidth.
If the frequency span is large in comparison with the channel bandwidth (or the
adjacent-channel bandwidths) being examined, only a few points on the trace are
available per channel. This reduces the accuracy of the waveform calculation for
the channel filter used, which has a negative effect on the measurement accuracy.
We therefore strongly recommend that the formulas mentioned be taken into con-
sideration when selecting the frequency span.
