PSA Series Option 204 1xEV-DO Measurement Personality

• 1xEV-DO standard-based power and modulation analysis.
• Channel power/ Power statistics (CCDF) (forward/reverse).
• Power versus time mask/ Spurious emissions and ACP (forward link only).
• Intermodulation distortion (forward link only).
• Occupied bandwidth (forward/reverse).
• Code domain power/ Modulation accuracy (waveform quality) (forward/reverse, rev. 0 and rev. A).
• QPSK error vector magnitude (EVM) (forward link only).

1xEV-DO, the evolution of cdma2000® that brings enhanced data transfer, is based on the cdma2000® format and infrastructure but presents additional challenges in the design and test of access network and access terminal. The 1xEV-DO measurement personality (Option 204), available in the PSA Series spectrum analyzers, makes it easier for you to develop and manufacture 1xEV-DO systems.

Because of the strong demands on higher data rate mainly in reverse link, 1xEV-DO standard has been evolving from revision 0 to revision A. 1xEV-DO measurement personality can measure such subtype 2 signals defined in revision A for modulation analysis with the latest firmware on PSA. (References: 3GPP2 C.S0032-A and C.S0033-A, C.S0024-A).

The PSA Series offers spectrum analysis with world-class accuracy and dynamic range plus optional measurement personalities for performing wireless format power and modulation measurements.

The 1xEV-DO measurement personality offers one-button power measurements and modulation analysis to help you quickly and easily test your 1xEV-DO access network and access terminal.

Followings include the recent enhancements to Option 204:

• All Rho results can be provided as Rho for Pilot, MAC, Preamble, Data, and Overall-1/2 as defined in Waveform Quality in 3GPP2 1xEV-DO
• Enhanced modulation analysis for AMC (Adaptive Modulation & Coding) used in MAC and Data channels in forward link
• Auto detection of active slot or idle slot and selective averaging for mixed slot signals
• More traces and views for in-depth signal analysis: Code Domain Error, Slot Power, Code Symbol Demod Bits, and Data Multiplexed Symbol Demod Bits

This option can be added as a product upgrade.
