GSM Asynchronous Mode Operation

Spectrum measurements

154

4460 GSM System Option and 4468 EDGE System Option

Version 12.20

Setting the center frequency

In asynchronous mode (i.e. when there is no signaling exchange between the 
mobile under test and the 4400), the center frequency is identical to the 
frequency set on the analyzer frequency entry field of the Analyzer menus.

Peak-hold function

As required in the GSM specifications, the measurements have to be carried out 
under peak-hold conditions. Therefore, the 4400 provides a user-selectable 
peak-hold function.
This means that the peak measurement result values out of a series of measure-
ments will be searched for and displayed. The number of single measurement 
runs already taken into account is shown on the 

Count

 display field.

Working with the peak-hold function

– Start the peak-hold function by pushing the 

|Start Peak|

 softkey.

– The 4400 will now start the peak-hold process. This means that the peak 

measurement result value for every single (of the 27) measurement frequen-
cies will be displayed on-screen. The number of single measurement runs 
taken into account is shown on the 

Count

 display field.

The softkey will change to 

|Stop Peak|

.

Important to note

– A reset of the peak-hold process can be achieved by pushing the 

|Reset|

 

softkey.

– In case the live display is frozen and unfrozen (using the appropriate softkey) 

during a peak-hold process, the peak-hold process will not be interrupted 
but will continue in the background.

– Even when the live display has been frozen, a reset of the peak-hold process 

is possible, pushing the 

|Reset|

 softkey.

Softkeys

The softkeys of the RF spectrum measurement menus provide access to special 
functions and features.

Softkeys of the modulation

spectrum menus

A push on this softkey starts the averaging tool of the spec-
trum analyzer. See description in section 

“Modulation spec-

trum measurements”

 or 

“ACPM modulation spectrum 

measurements”

 for reference.

When the averaging tool is running, the softkey will change 
to 

|Stop Avg.|

.

A push on this softkey stops the averaging tool of the spec-
trum analyzer and takes you back to the related modulation 
spectrum measurement.
The softkey will change to 

|Start Avg.|
