R&S®FSMU-W WCDMA base station test set
Base station testing as easy as it gets
Ease of operation
The test case wizard of the R&S®SMU 200A allows one-button base station testing. By simply choosing the required test case as defined in TS 25.141, the complete generator will be set up in accordance with the specification. All specific parameters, such as noise level, fading profile, and interfering signals, are set without having to look them up in the standard document. The automatic setup includes the wanted signal, frequency offset and power level as well as interfering signals, noise and fading conditions. To test beyond the specifications, the parameters can also be adjusted.
The power control step test verifies that the base station adjusts its transmit power in response to the TPC information sent from a mobile phone. In the test setup the R&S®SMU200A acts as a mobile phone and sends a TPC pattern to the base station. The R&S®FSQ then measures the output signal of the base station and displays the transmitter power control step tolerance and aggregated power control step range.
With the fading simulator and the second RF path installed on the R&S®SMU200A, the R&S®FSMU-W combines all necessary equipment for performance tests in a single instrument. There is no need for external wiring of generators and faders as well as for synchronization.
