Wide vector modulation bandwidth• 120 MHz (Using internal baseband signal generator)• 150 MHz (Using External IQ input)

A wider "RF modulation bandwidth" of 120 MHz is achieved when in-ternal baseband signal generation is used.Furthermore, 150 MHz vector modulation bandwidth is supported forup to 6 GHz frequency when the External IQ inputis used.• Suitable for research and development of the next-generation com-

munication systems supporting wider bandwidths and multi-carriersignals.

• An external arbitrary waveform generator is unnecessary.

Waveform combining functionMG3700A contains two built-in arbitrary waveform memories, andthese two memories can each choose one waveform pattern,re-spectively. MG3700A can output the signal of either one of the mem-ories, and can also combine and output both signals simultaneously.When measuring receiver characteristics, such as "ACS: Adjacent

Channel Selectivity" or "Blocking characteristics", the "WantedSignal+Interfere Signal" and "Wanted Signal+AWGN" can be out-putted by one MG3700A. Since digital processing is used for adjustment and S/N, the level ra-tio accuracy is excellent.

3G / WIRELESS TEST


The Rapid Test Designer (RTD) is a revolutionary new tool whichaims to speed up the testing of WCDMA devices significantly bygreatly simplifying the way in which tests are created, executed andanalyzed.The RTD presents an intuitive and interactive graphical environmentfor designing test cases, coupled with an expert system that guidesthe user through the complexity of the 3GPP protocols. It provides agraphical interface to a broad library of procedural building blocksthat can be placed on the screen to assemble the tests. The buildingblocks can be configured through the setting of parameters. The procedure library contains many standard procedures that canbe used as they are or with minor changes to parameters to guidethe UE into the desired test state. This allows the test creator to focuson specific problem areas using knowledge of 3GPP networks ratherthan test concepts. Anritsu provides catalogues of common network settings that can beused to produce test scenarios that work "out of the box,” or as astarting point for customer specific configurations. The tool also provides interactive error checking on procedures andparameters that will pick up many potential problems and mistakesas early as possible during test design.Finally, the RTD provides one click, instant execution with no testcase build or compilation phase necessary to enable very effectiveand efficient development of test case libraries for a wide variety ofpurposes:• Acceptance Testing• Integration Testing• Interoperability Testing• Generating variants• Application Testing• Regression Testing

The RTD has an integrated Protocol Analyzer to show the decodedresults of the message exchanges between the RTD and the SystemUnder Test during the execution of a test.

This revolutionary test tool hides much of the complexity of testing3GPP protocols and allows the user to concentrate on testing spe-cific functions and protocols within the UE without having to be anexpert on all the protocol layers. Because of the intuitive graphical in-terface, users do not need to learn a specialist test language, or havea detailed knowledge of how to drive the system simulator. It is builtupon Anritsu’s many years of experience in testing 3GPP protocolswith the leading UE vendors.The RTD system consists of a Personal Computer running aWindows operating system, connected to the Anritsu MD8480 WCDMASignaling Tester (system simulator). The RTD is also available as anupgrade for existing users of Anritsu’s MD8480 and MX785201(PTS) products.

Tool OverviewThe RTD has been designed to support the iterative test process,which cycles between Design, Test Analysis, Test Execution andResults Analysis. The RTD consists of a set of core tools designedto support this process, together with a number of optional compo-nents that allow the RTD to easily support specialized testing activities.

WCDMA RAPID TEST DESIGNER (RTD) MX786201A

In addition to test and system simulator control procedures, the RTDprovides support for a set of procedures similar to those defined in3GPP standards, giving broad coverage of the various Layer 3 sig-naling protocols. Each procedure includes associated system simu-lator configuration, timers, and appropriate parameters. Support is provided for soft & hard handovers, compressed mode,RRC state transitions, radio bearer reconfigurations, Inter RAT se-lections and reselections and Inter RAT handovers, including to andfrom GSM (circuit switched) and GPRS (packet switched). A wide se-lection of 34.108 RABs are supported with CS AMR rates from 4.75to 12.2 kbps and PS data rates from 8 to 128 kbps for uplinks and 8to 384 kbps for downlinks. For GSM voice calls, both EFR and AMRtraffic channels are supported.Customers can create their own set of user -defined procedures andwatch points for key variables, such as power, to speed up the de-velopment and debugging of test cases. Customers can also createinteractive tests that use the content of messages or the behavior ofthe equipment under test to determine the flow of the test. This providesa new way of testing UEs that combines the best features of scriptbased and network emulator based testing methodologies.

3G / WIRELESS TEST

Test Criteria Editor & AnalyzerRTD defines the success or failure of a test execution at a high levelby the means of test criteria. Test criteria are defined as the routetaken through the procedures making up an RTD test, the content ofincoming messages and the time between significant events.After running a test, the RTD uses the logs generated to match thecriteria specified against the actual test performance and report onthe success or failure of each criterion. This also allows new criteriato be defined and quickly checked against old test results.

Test Execution EngineRTD tests can be run immediately after they have been checked forsimple errors (Analyzed). No compilation is necessary, and the testis run directly from within the integrated environment.During execution, a progress log from the test being run is displayed ina status window, and progress through the test is shown graphicallyby highlighting the blocks as they execute in a different colour. At anytime during execution, the user can edit parameters (these changesare picked up by the test case dynamically) or cancel execution.

Test Log (Protocol) AnalyzerFor any test execution, the RTD has an integrated protocol analyzer,which logs all Layer 3, Layer 2 and Layer 1 message exchanges be-tween the RTD and the System Under Test. These messages are de-coded to show the name and content of each field, and displayed us-ing the RTD Protocol Analyzer. The RTD Protocol Analyzer also provides:• Direct launch to test results from within the RTD• Message Sequence Charts of test runs• Full and collapsible sequence views at procedure level, with pre

and post filtering of log files• Display of test message contents sent or received by the RTD• Naming and displaying of protocol layer information elements at

Layer 1, 2, and 3• Textual display of enumerated field values• Decoding and displaying of MIB/SIB embedded bit strings• Collapsible tree presentation of message contents• Open Protocol Data Units in separate windows for ease of comparison• Timestamps against individual messages• Management of test log archives

Test Archive ManagerRTD stores tests in test archives. The Archive Manager is providedto allow the user to manipulate tests within the archives.

Catalogue ManagerThe catalogues provide a convenient way of managing sets of para-meters that are used frequently. The Catalogue Manager is used tomanipulate and maintain entries. Entries can also be stored into thecatalogue when editing a test.

PTSThe MX785201A PTS software is combined with the MD8480 WCDMASignaling Tester to make a system providing an environment to ex-ercise Layer 3 and Layer 2 signaling protocols defined within theThird Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).The PTS and VST software component runs on a Windows 2000/XP™PC. They execute TTCN test cases through which can be defined:• Sequences of Layer 3 messages and expected responses• Layer 3 to Layer 2 service primitives to trigger specific Layer 2 pro-

cedures, or to configure Layer 2 operation• Layer 3 to Layer 1 service primitives to configure and initiate Layer

1 operation• Service primitives to and from user provided code modules for

User Equipment (UE) control

The Layer 2 protocol stack and Layer 3 test tools are functionallyequivalent to those used in the Anritsu VST (Virtual Signaling Tester). An application-programming interface (API) to enable user generated“C” language test scenarios to be executed is available for the PTS.Supports multiple 3G cells, enabling Soft and Hard handover. In ad-dition, supports inter-system handover between GSM to WCDMA,GPRS to WCDMA, and vice versa.

VSTThe MX785101A VST software provides an environment to exerciseLayer 3 and Layer 2 signaling protocols defined within the ThirdGeneration Partnership Project (3GPP). When linked to the cus-tomer’s signaling protocol software development environment, Layer3 and Layer 2 Test Procedures running on the VST platform enableverification and subsequent validation of the signaling protocolSoftware Under Test (SUT) prior to integration with UE RF and base-band hardware.The VST runs on a standard Windows PC. The SUT may reside onany machine that can be connected via a TCP/IP port to theWindows PC running the VST. In order to interface to the VST, theUE Abstract Layer 1 and UE Adapter software components are re-quired for the Software Under Test. The VST Network Abstract Layer1 and adapter components can be used as a starting point to devel-op these components. The Abstract Layer 1 has also been devel-oped in such a way that users can easily customize it in order to sim-ulate specific features of the air interface.

Evolution with 3GPPThe capabilities of the VST & PTS continue to evolve and additionalcapabilities are added in-line with the changing 3GPP specifications.The PTS runs the 3GPP Conformance Test Suite as defined inTS34.123. In addition, the Protocol Test System supports the Layer 1and Layer 2 parameter sets defined in the 3GPP specificationTS34.108.

MX785201A-43 Rapid Test DesignerThe Rapid Test Designer (RTD) Option provides a quick and easymethod of developing test cases to run on the PTS. It provides agraphical, point and click interface to a broad library of proceduralbuilding blocks that can be placed on the screen to assemble morecomplex tests. The library contains composite functions that movethe UE into a desired state to start the test, and elemental functionsthat allow the testing of detailed behaviour. This allows the test cre-ator to focus on specific problem areas using his knowledge of 3GPPnetworks rather than test concepts. The RTD’s procedural building blocks are integrated with an expertsystem that guides the user through the complexity of the 3GPP pro-tocols when setting the parameters for a particular test. Anritsu pro-vides comprehensive catalogues of common network settings thatcan be used to quickly produce working test scenarios. The tool alsoprovides interactive error checking on the procedures and parame-ters and will pick up many potential problems and mistakes madeduring test design. Finally, the RTD provides one click, instant exe-cution with no test case build or compilation phase necessary to en-able very effective and efficient development of test case libraries fora wide variety of purposes.

The MT8860A WLAN Test Set from Anritsu is an integrated test setdedicated to testing WLAN devices in the 2.4 GHz (4.8 to 6 GHz futureoption) Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency bands.MT8860A provides a high-speed measurement solution that is suit-able for both production testing and design proving. The user inter-face is implemented through the supplied LANLook software pack-age. LANLook runs on a standard PC and uses a conventionalWindows™ interface for both instrument configuration and resultsdisplays. LANLook communicates with the MT8860A through aGPIB interface.

Benefits• Single test instrument for both 802.11b transmitter and receiver

measurements• Reduced production test times through high speed spectral pro-

cessing• Graphical display of power burst profile and spectral mask• Automated receiver PER measurements• LANLook Windows™ style user interface runs on a standard PC• Built in Reference Radio• Advanced triggering and gating features for ease of measurement

set-up• Inputs for external Golden radio and interfering signal sources• Upgradeable to 802.11a and 802.11g standards

802.11b MeasurementsThe IEEE 802.11 WLAN standards have become established as thepreferred interface for wireless connectivity between a PC and anetwork. A PC can connect to a WLAN network either through theuse of a PC card accessory or, more recently, using integratedWLAN technology.To ensure a high quality link between the PC and the LAN accesspoint, manufacturers need to validate that the performance of eachproduct meets the 802.11 standard.MT8860A supports the following 802.11b measurements. Eachmeasurement can be performed on the 14 frequency channels andat all specified power levels.Transmitter measurements• Carrier frequency• Carrier frequency error• Transmitter power (average)• Transmitter power (peak)• Transmitter power control• Spectrum mask compliance

WLAN TEST SET MT8860A2.4 to 2.5 GHz and 4.8 to 6 GHz

• Carrier suppression• Power burst profile• Transmit power-on and power-down rampReceiver measurements• Sensitivity (PER)• Receiver saturation (max input power)• Adjacent channel rejection*• Non-Adjacent channel rejection** requires separate interfering signal source

Measurement ModesDUT transmitter measurementsThe DUT transmitter is tested using 802.11b test mode softwaresupplied by the chipset supplier.Measurements using Test ModesWhen testing the DUT using test modes, the DUT is controlledthrough the host interface using software supplied by the chip set de-veloper. This may require proprietary control software from the chipset developer.802.11b test mode commands can be used to config-ure the DUT to transmit continuously, or in a bursted manner, on anydefined channel. The MT8860A receiver is tuned to that channel andtriggers continuously or from the power burst rising edge.Power vs. Time measurementsThe burst profile can also be viewed. This provides a simple displayof the DUT transmitter rising and falling edge, as well the full packetpower v ’s time graph. Two gates are used to define the parts of theprofile over which peak and average power are measured.Spectral measurementsThe spectral content of the DUT transmitter can be measured andtested against the IEEE 802.11b spectral mask. All spectrum mea-surements are time gated, with two user-defined gates set in the timedomain. Specific parts of a power burst can be isolated in the timedomain and measured in the frequency domain. The highest powerlevel in each spectral mask segment is also measured. In addition tothe standard spectral mask measurement, MT8860A also measuresthe carrier suppression and occupied bandwidth of the transmitter.Parallel measurementsMT8860A performs the power, frequency and spectral mask mea-surements of DUT in parallel. A high speed spectral processor per-forms the measurements in a much shorter time than swept tunedspectrum analysers giving reduced total test time.

Receiver sensitivity and saturation measurementsThe MT8860A signal source has a calibrated output power range of–100 dBm to 0 dBm. The 802.11b specification requires a DUT PERof <10% at a receiver input level of –76 dBm. MT8860A can measurethe PER at a fixed level, or perform a power sweep and so plot PERvs. receiver input level. To ensure that the DUT receiver does not sat-urate when receiving a high signal level, the PER must also be mea-sured with a receiver input of –10 dBm. This simulates the operationof the DUT in close proximity to, for example an access point.Receiver adjacent and non-adjacent channel rejectionmeasurementsTwo inputs are provided on the front panel of the MT8860A so thatan external signal source can be coupled onto the output of theMT8860A signal source. This facilitates the measurement of PER inthe presence of interfering signals. The path loss of the coupled in-put is calibrated so that a precise signal level can be set for the in-terferer. Two inputs are offered so that both adjacent channel and in-termodulation rejection measurements can be performed.Planned future enhancementsThe MT8860A hardware has been designed such that it can be upgraded to support measurements of the 802.11g and 802.11astandards.

DUT receiver sensitivity measurementsAll DUT receiver measurements are based on the measurement ofPacket Error Rate (PER).The definition of a packet error is (1-[Number of frames correctly received/Number of framessent])x100%.The 802.11b specification does not define a commonmethod for the measurement of PER. As a result, chip set developershave developed proprietary software to facilitate this measurement.The MT8860A allows for a variety of test methods to measure PER.PER measurements in an ad-hoc connection with the MT8860AReference RadioThe MT8860A can establish an ad-hoc connection with the DUT andtransmit a user definable number of packets to the DUT. Under ideallink conditions, the DUT sends an Acknowledge packet in return foreach received packet. The packet error rate can be calculated fromthe ratio of transmitted packets to received Acknowledge packets.When linked to the DUT the receiver sensitivity measurement can berun at either a fixed input level, or using a swept input level for a truesensitivity search.PER measurements without forming a link to the DUTThe MT8860A can transmit a user definable number of packets on afixed channel without first establishing a link with the DUT. Thesepackets have standard 802.11b packet structure. To measure PERthe DUT must be able to enter a "Permissive" receive mode. In thismode, the DUT receives and counts all incoming packets. It is nec-essary to be able to read the DUT received packet counter registerto calculate the PER.

GPIB control• Batch readout command for measured resultsAll results obtained by batch measurement can be read out with thesingle command: “ALLMEAS?”. If required, only desired measure-ment results can be read out using a command such as “ALL MEAS?MOD” (modulation analysis). A decrease in the number of GPIB commands reduces the GPIB traf-fic on both the MT8820A and control PC, contributing to the increasein measurement throughput. Since the step size of the control programis also reduced, this provides a real benefit to the user for the creationof a control program that is easy to read and maintain.

3G / WIRELESS TEST

MT8850A makes RF measurements on Bluetooth modules andBluetooth products, quickly and at low cost. All measurements aremade in accordance with the Bluetooth RF Test Specification.MT8850A establishes a Bluetooth link with the EUT (EquipmentUnder Test) using standard signaling. MT8850A is the Master, es-tablishing the link by Paging the EUT. The EUT BT address can beentered manually or through the GPIB port. If the EUT BT address isnot known, you can use Inquiry or read the address directly throughthe EUT HCI interface (RS 232).Test Mode is then activated in the EUT and RF measurements per-formed. When the EUT is in Test Mode, the MT8850A has completecontrol over its operation. The EUT can be put into loopback or TXtest mode, frequency hopping can be disabled or the EUT sent to de-fined TX and RX frequencies as required by the test specification.The MT8850A runs a selected test script. A test script comprises ofall (or a user selected subset) of the available RF measurements.The user can modify the measurements by editing test frequencies,number of bits/packets tested, hopping On or Off, whitening On orOff, and Pass/Fail limits. Pre programmed "qualification" and "quicktest" scripts plus user-defined scripts. Script results can be viewedon the screen and accessed over the GPIB. In addition any individ-ual measurement can be run continuously.

Features• Fast - 5 second test timeThe rapid "Quick Test" measurement script is pre-configured for easeof operation. Production test scripts can run in as little as 5 seconds,measuring power, frequency, modulation and receiver sensitivity(BER).

• One touch testingOnce the MT8850A has been configured, each device is tested witha single keystroke. Press RUN to initiate a link, activate Test Mode,perform the measurements and report the results.

• AuthoritativeTests are made exactly as defined in the Bluetooth RF TestSpecification. All measurements are traceable to InternationalStandards so that you can be totally confident in both your produc-tion testing and design proving.

• Reference Bluetooth transceiverA custom design transceiver offers <1 kHz frequency accuracy at thestart of any packet and full compliance with the requirements for the"Dirty Transmitter" for true receiver sensitivity measurements. In ad-dition to the standard dirty transmitter table, you can define cus-

tomised stress conditions with user settable values of CarrierFrequency Offset, Modulation Index, Symbol Timing Error and simu-lated carrier frequency drift.

• Editing testsDefine your own test scripts to customise the test measurements toyour specific requirements. Each test can be enabled or disabledand within any test, parameters such as hopping can be enabled ordisabled, the number of measured packets defined and the specificfrequencies of testing set up.

Test Bluetooth Modules and Products with a Bluetooth Interface

• Single test modeA single test can be run continuously so that, for example, the BERof a link can be monitored as additional interfering Bluetooth devicesare activated or the distance between the EUT and the MT8850A in-creased.

• Remote controlBoth GPIB and RS 232 interfaces are offered as standard. Creatingtest programs has been simplified by the MT8850A’s capability forinitiating a test using a single command and then having results re-turned in a single string.

• Small size and weightMT8850A takes up minimal space in your test system, thanks to itshalf-rack size and light weight. Where Bluetooth interfaces are beingintroduced into existing products, the disturbance to the test systemis minimised.

Bluetooth™ TEST SETMT8852A2.4 GHz Reference Bluetooth Transceiver

The new MT8852A Bluetooth test set offers all the functionality of theMT8850A plus the ability to make measurements on audio Bluetoothchannels. Consumer products such as headsets, audio gatewaysand in-car consoles that offer voice over Bluetooth will require audiomeasurements as well as radio layer measurements. The MT8852Aoffers full audio test capability. It is fully compliant with all the func-tionality defined in the Bluetooth audio specification. MT8852A sup-ports all three codec air interfaces (µ-law, A-law and CVSD) on up tothree SCO audio channels. Rear-panel jack-plug connectors provideanalog inputs and outputs for all three audio channels to give a con-venient interface to audio signal sources and analyzers.The MT8852A Bluetooth Test Set performs audio measurements byestablishing a Synchronous Connection Oriented (SCO) link be-tween the MT8852A and the EUT. A SCO link is a full duplex link be-tween a Bluetooth master and slave.

Note: It should be noted that SCO is an optional feature within theBluetooth specification. The MT8852A can be used to establish aSCO link and transmit HV packets to, or from, the EUT. To performaudio measurements, an audio signal source and audio analyzer arealso required.

There are four basic scenarios in which audio measurements may bemade. The four test scenarios are:

• Testing the EUT’s audio performance using remote loopback onthe MT8852A.

• Testing the audio performance of the EUT transmit path.• Testing the audio performance of the EUT receive path.• Putting the EUT into remote loopback.

Testing the Audio Performance of the EUT Transmit PathThe performance of the EUT transmitter can be tested in isolationwith the set-up shown below.

Testing the Audio Performance of the EUT Receive PathThe performance of the EUT receiver can be tested in isolation withthe set-up shown below. As a replacement for the external audio IN, it is also possible to usean internally generated tone. Use of this tone is ideal for quick testsand as it is generated internally, it does not pass through theMT8852A CODEC. The tone is fixed at 1kHz. For measurement atother frequencies use of external audio is required.

3G / WIRELESS TEST

The Anritsu ME7865A Bluetooth Prequalification Test System(PQTS) addresses the 16 test cases defined in the Bluetooth RF testspecification. Developed in partnership with CETECOM, (Centro de Tecnologia delas Comunicaciones S.A.) the ME7865A offers an integrated solutionincluding all the necessary test instruments and test case softwareto rapidly characterise Bluetooth radios.

Applications• Prequalification testing of chip setsFor Bluetooth chip set developers the ME7865A provides a test sys-tem that enables comprehensive testing of the radio performancebefore submission to a Bluetooth Qualification Test Facility (BQTF).This gives the developer a high degree of confidence that the chipset will achieve qualification first time.All measurements are made in accordance with the Bluetooth RFtest specification. The ME7865A generates test reports that are ide-al for documenting the results from an EUT. Reports can include bothnumeric results as well as graphical traces of the measured packets.

• Module testingAfter integrating a Bluetooth chip set onto a module, it is necessaryto revalidate the RF performance. Module manufacturers will typical-ly design a module that is based on a reference design from the chipset supplier.When the module design is complete, the implementation must betested and characterised. The ME7865A is the ideal test system forproving the performance of new module designs.

• Module selectionSelecting the appropriate module for integration into an end userproduct requires a complete understanding of the characteristics ofeach Bluetooth module.The ME7865A provides a test system for comparative testing of chipsets and modules. This facilitates the selection of a Bluetooth mod-ule that is best suited to the specific product being developed.

• Selective test in volume productionThe MT8850A Bluetooth Test Set has been developed for high speedtesting of all products manufactured with a Bluetooth interface.MT8850A measures key radio parameters such as power, frequen-cy, modulation and sensitivity in a test time of typically under 5 sec-onds. Volume manufacturers who wish to continuously monitor thequality of output often chose to selectively test a sample of the out-put more rigorously.

ME7865A is designed to be integrated into a high volume productiontest facility and used alongside the MT8850A for sample testing. ThePC is supplied with a network interface so that results can bearchived onto a company network.

• Bluetooth Qualification Test FacilitiesFull qualification of a Bluetooth radio requires submission to aBluetooth Qualification Test Facility (BQTF). The qualificationprocess can be costly and time consuming. The ME7865A providesa solution for companies who wish to have a faster and lower costanalysis of their device before proceeding to full qualification.The ME7865A reports generated will give the developer a full un-derstanding of the performance of their device.BQTFs can use ME7865A to offer a Prequalification test service.

Test management softwareME7865A software runs on an integrated rack mounted PC. The PCis supplied with a CD drive to facilitate software upgrades. A net-working interface is also standard so that the ME7865A can easily beintegrated into a company network. Free standing flat panel 15 inchTFT display, keyboard, and mouse are also supplied.The ME7865A software consists of the following modules:

• Executable test casesThe RF test case software will control all of the instruments to per-form the measurements automatically.

• ICS/IXIT modulesThese modules contain the characteristics of the Equipment UnderTest (EUT) for the selection of the applicable test cases. The datacan be manually entered or read from the EUT supported featuresregister.

• Configuration managerThe configuration manager is used to develop the test cases depen-dant on the contents entered into the IXIT module.

• Test case managerThe test case manager starts and finishes the test cases.It also performs the verdict handling. The test case manager is alsoresponsible for test case selection and the management of systemfiles.

• Database and report generatorThis module displays the results of test cases and generates reportsin Microsoft Word format.

Transmitter measurements• Output powerOutput power measurements are made within the MT8850ABluetooth Test Set. MT8850A identifies the position of P0 and mea-sures the power in each of the bits within the packet. The averagepower across all the bits and the peak power are recorded.

• Power densityThe power density measurement provides the peak power density ina 100 kHz bandwidth.The measurement is made using the spectrum analyser. In the frequencydomain a sweep over the ISM band is performed. The channel withthe highest power is identified and this is set as the analyser’s newcentre frequency. A new one-minute single sweep is performed in thetime domain. The power density is defined as the peak value of this trace.

• Power controlPower control tests allow for testing or calibration to be performed onthe level control circuitry of the EUT.This test is only performed on devices that support power control.The measure is performed in the same way as the average powermeasurement. The test verifies if power control step sizes are withinthe specified range.

• Transmit output spectrum testsThe transmit output spectrum measurements analyse the power lev-els in the frequency domain to ensure that out-of–channel emissionsare minimised. The spectrum analyser performs these measurements.The Bluetooth specifications split the test into three parts; frequencyrange, –20 dB bandwidth, and adjacent channel power.The frequency range measurement uses peak detection and vali-dates that there is no spectral content outside the ISM band.The –20 dB bandwidth test verifies the individual channel occupancy.The adjacent channel power measurement uses average detectionto validate the power spectral density over of all channels in the ISMband with a given wanted channel.

• Modulation testsModulation measurements reflect the performance of the modulator cir-cuitry as well as local oscillator stability, and consist of modulation char-acteristics, initial carrier frequency tolerance and carrier frequency drift.Verification of modulation characteristics requires the ability to demodulatethe Bluetooth signal so that the frequency of each bit can be determined. For modulation characteristics, two sets of a repeating 8-bit sequenceare used in the payload to check both the modulator performance andthe pre-modulation filtering. Initial frequency error is measured by mea-suring the average frequency of the four preamble bits. Frequency driftis measured by comparing preamble bits with payload data. The maxi-mum drift rate is also calculated in the payload.

Receiver measurementsBER is the parameter used to determine receiver performance.These tests perform BER analysis under various different conditions.

• Sensitivity testsSensitivity is tested by transmitting impaired signals (using a defineddirty transmitter) to the receiver. The transmitted power is fixed, withimpairments defined in the test procedure, which include carrier fre-quency offset, modulation index variation and symbol timing error.

• Carrier-to-interference performanceC/I performance is measured by sending co-channel or adjacentchannel Bluetooth modulated signals in parallel with the wanted sig-nal and measuring the receiver’s BER. One MT8850A delivers thewanted signal and a second MT8850A provides the PRBS15 interferer.

• Blocking performanceBlocking performance is measured by sending an out of band CW in-terfering carrier with the wanted signals in parallel and measuring thereceiver’s BER. One MT8850A delivers the wanted signal and a sec-ond source provides the CW interferer.

• Intermodulation performanceIntermodulation performance measures the effect of unwanted fre-quency components resulting from interaction between two interfer-ing signals passing through receiver non-linear circuits. The test isperformed by measuring receiver BER in the presence of an inter-fering modulated signal and a CW signal that generate an intermod-ulation product on the receiver operating frequency.

• Maximum input levelThis test measures the BER performance when EUT input signal isat maximum input power level specified of –20 dBm.

Support services

• Software support and maintenanceThe system support package provides customer technical supportby email, fax, and telephone. Support staff are based in a Europeantime zone and support response is guaranteed within one working day.Following the release of the base line software, software upgradeswill automatically be issued to customers on a maintenance contract.The ME7865A will be continually developed to follow changes to the RFTest Specification and to follow errata in the Bluetooth core specification.

System calibrationThe ME7865A is supplied with an integrated power meter.Automated software routines calibrate the path losses from eachmeasuring instrument port to the common EUT test port.This path loss data is held in system files and corrected for during allmeasurements.

RF MeasurementsRF measurements give a general idea of how strong the transmittedsignal is, and whether the base station is transmitting at the desig-nated frequency. The UMTS Master RF measurement has fourscreens - spectrum, ACLR, spectral emission mask and RF summary.

The RF spectrum screen displays the selected channel signal andthe following measurements: carrier frequency, channel power indBm and watts, frequency error in kHz and PPM, occupied band-width, peak to average power and noise floor measurements.

The Spectral Emission Mask displays the selected signal and the maskas defined in the 3GPP specification. The mask varies dependingupon the input signal. The UMTS Master also indicates if the signalis within the specified limits by stating PASSED or FAILED. The emis-sion mask is also displayed in the table format with different fre-quency ranges and whether the signal PASSED/FAILED in that region.

The ACLR screen displays the main channel power and the power oftwo adjacent channels on each side as a bar graph. The channelspacing is –10 MHz, –5 MHz, +5 MHz and +10 MHz and the chan-nels are color coded.

Demodulator – Direct Connect or Over The AirThe UMTS Master demodulates WCDMA signals and displays de-tailed measurements to analyze transmitter modulation perfor-mance. The WCDMA demodulator has Code Domain Power (CDP),Codogram, and Modulation Summary screens.The Code Domain Power (CDP) display includes 256 or 512 codes withzoom in on codes, common pilot power (P-CPICH), channel power,EVM, carrier frequency, carrier feed through, frequency error in kHz andPPM, Peak CD error and noise floor. The UMTS Master can zoom to

32, 64 or 128 codes and the user can input the zoom code to zoom inon the scrambling codes. The demodulator also displays CPICH, P-CCPCH, S-CCPCH, PICH, P-SCH and S-SCH power in a table format.

Over The Air (OTA)OTA displays six scrambling codes in a bar graph format. For eachscrambling code, CPICH in dBm, Ec/Io in dB, Ec in dBm, and pilotdominance in dB are displayed in table format. The OTA total poweris also displayed in dBm.

The Codogram displays how code levels are changing over time. TheUMTS Master codogram screen displays 256 or 512 codes withzoom codes. The unit can zoom to 32, 64 or 128 codes and the usercan input the zoom code to zoom to the scrambling codes of inter-est. Using this measurement makes it easier to monitor traffic, faultsand hand off activity over time.The Modulation Summary displays the critical transmitter perfor-mance measurements in a table format, showing carrier frequency,frequency error, channel power, P-CPICH absolute power, carrierfeed through, peak code domain error, EVM, P-CCPCH power, S-CCPCH power, PICH and PSCH absolute power.

3G / WIRELESS TEST


IntroductionUsers of MD8480 WCDMA Signaling Tester can now analyze theirtrace logs instantly and decode them fully. The MX848086A 3GPPProtocol Analyzer is an additional tool for the MD8480, providing fastand accurate analysis of the messages between a UE and theMD8480 system simulator. This tool provides a real advantage fordevelopment teams involved in 3GPP UE advancement, where thenumber of scenarios needed is growing rapidly.The tool is intuitive to use and provides the ideal graphical environ-ment to allow study of the complex protocol messages that pass toand from the UE under test; particularly the RRC and NAS messages.

Tool OverviewThe MX848086A has been designed to support the iterative processthat cycles between Design, Test Analysis, Test Execution andResults Analysis. It is one tool in the family of Anritsu products thathas shaped the way 3rd Generation UEs have been developed.A test log from the MD8480 can be examined completely without theneed to cut and paste elements into a separate tool.

Decodes complex NAS and RRC messages.A new challenge for WCDMA protocol development is decoding RRCmessages as these use ASN.1 Packed Encoding Rules (PER). PERadds a level of complexity over the TLV encoding used by GSM asinformation elements are not aligned to byte or nibble boundaries, soeven a hexadecimal display of the message is difficult to interpret.Further complexity is added by the extensive use of "optional" and"choice" elements throughout the RRC message specification. Theresult is that decoding the RRC messages manually is impractical.

The tool provides:• Analysis to Information Element level of protocol exchanges be-

tween MD8480 and UE• Decodes RRC & NAS messages to a format recognised by 3GPP• Support for GSM / GPRS / WCDMA UEs• Based on Globally recognised PTS and VST protocol development

system• 3GPP Standard compliant development tool

RRC & NAS messages can be decoded to information element leveland can be correlated with the 3GPP specifications (see diagram onthe next page).The MX848086A runs on the same PC as the MX848000A Test sce-narios, allowing immediate analysis of the scenario. It can also berun on a separate PC, if required. This allows more efficient use ofthe MD8480 hardware.Complex messages including broadcast information, establishment,reconfiguration and release of bearers and RRC connection mobilityfunctions can be decoded in a format that is easily compared with therelevant 3GPP specification.

MD8480 customers that utilize the MX848000A to create "C" basedtest scenarios currently can only view "hex-dump" format data. It is notreally practical to manually decode RRC/NAS messages, and cut/pasteof hex strings into available automated tools is very laborious.It is desirable to have a tool that automatically displays logs as MSCswith RRC and NAS messages fully decoded. The MX848086A 3GPP Protocol Analyzer provides analysis of thedata logged during execution of MX848000 scenarios to a level ofdetail that makes it easy to debug and understand the messages be-tween the MD8480A and the UE under test. The user is providewitha HTML based display that provides "Links" from all the message in-terchanges and decodes each message in an easily read format.This means that finding mismatches in the configurations or signal-ing is relatively straightforward.

The decoded messages are easily compared with 3GPP documents as shown in the image above.
