Specifications

The R&S®TS8970 RF conformance test system complies with the requirements stipulated in V3.0b of the MRCT specification for the test cases described in this document.

Specifications are applicable for a calibrated R&S®TS8970 system under normal operating conditions after RF calibration and two hours of warm-up at ambient temperature.

The performance of the R&S®TS8970 is based on the technical specifications1) of the individual instruments and components within the system. The uncertainties for the R&S®TS8970 system are described in the document "R&S®TS8970_2_Uncertainty_Calculations".

The uncertainty is calculated and made available individually for each test case. The values listed apply at the DUT port(s) of the R&S®TS8970.

They have been calculated in line with the following:

  • Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) – produced by ISO/TAG4/WG3 (1995)
  • ETSI TR 100 028-1 V1.4.1 (2001-12)
  • ESTI TR 102 273-1-1 V1.2.1 (2001-12)
  • Application Note (1GP43) – Program for Measurement Uncertainty Analysis with Rohde & Schwarz Power Meters

1) See table “Overview of technical specifications for devices used in the system”.

2) PEP = peak envelope power.

3) Air conditioning is strongly recommended.

4) The performance of RF calibration (RFC) on a yearly basis is recommended. RFC is independent of the       requirement to perform individual device calibrations.

5) The protective conductor current for instruments must not exceed 3.5 mA. When several instruments are    integrated into a test system, this limit value may be exceeded. In this case, make sure that the system is        additionally grounded or is connected only via an IEC 60309-compliant connector.
