Multislot measurements for common time division systems
This function enables the R&S NRP to carry out measurements on signals with complex timeslot structure. Up to 128 intervals (26 when controlled by the basic unit) can be acquired and measured in one operation. This allows entire frames of GSM/EDGE signals to be analyzed. The user can select the number and the timing of the timeslots relative to the trigger event; up to 4 results can simultaneously be displayed on the basic unit. Unwanted portions in the transition from one timeslot to the next can be blanked by user-definable exclusion periods at the beginning and end.
The internal trigger capabilities of the R&S NRP can also be used in this context. In the case of TDMA signals, using an external frame trigger is often beneficial to generate the temporal relation to timeslot 1. The basic unit is fitted with the appropriate connector on the rear panel; if the sensor is operated from a PC, triggering via the Adapter R&S NRP-Z3 is possible.
