as the frequency reference for the W-CDMA and the W-CDMA (with HSDPA) Tx
measurements because it provides an independent reference for measuring the
operating frequency of the base station. A GPS antenna must be connected to the
GPS input of the test set, and the antenna must have a clear view of the sky in order
for the GPS to lock. If a GPS signal cannot be obtained, you can use the frequency
reference provided by the base station to perform the measurement.
The E7495A/B test set supports all of the following frequency references and time
references:
• Frequency and Time - GPS (External antenna supplied)
• Frequency and Time - External Even Second Pulse
• Frequency only - Internal Reference
• Frequency only - External 1.000 MHz (E7945B only)
• Frequency only - External 2.048 MHz (E7945B only)
• Frequency only - External 4.950 MHz (E7945B only)
• Frequency only - External 10.000 MHz
• Frequency only - External 13.000 MHz (E7945B only)
• Frequency only - External 15.000 MHz (E7945B only)
• Frequency only - External 19.6608 MHz
If you use the frequency reference provided by the base station, keep in mind that
the frequency error metric will only be measuring the error relative to the base
station reference signal, and not relative to absolute frequency and time. You will
not be able to determine if the base station frequency is aligned with the other base
stations in the network. Since the GPS provides an independent reference, the
frequency error metric can be used to determine if the base station frequency is
offset from the rest of the network.
RF Connections
For the RF connection, you can connect the E7495A/B RF Input Port either directly
to the Tx RF output of the base station, or to the coupled output port on the base
station when you are making W-CDMA or HSDPA transmitter measurements. In
this way, the base station can remain on-air (in-service) while Tx measurements are
being made. If the RF Input port of the instrument is connected directly to the Tx RF
output, then the base station (or at least that sector) must be taken out of service.
CAUTION The maximum power for the RF In (Port 1) and RF Out/SWR (Port 2) ports is
