TDMA power measurement. Adjacent channel power measurements

The ACLR measurement function enables the user to test
how far a base station carrier signal reaches into the adja-
cent channel. An ACLR value that is too low indicates poor
signal quality and can lead to interference on the adjacent
useful signals.

The adjacent channel power can be displayed as an

­absolute value or relative to the useful carrier. The
R&S®FSH offers predefined settings for ­various transmis-
sion standards such as WCDMA, CDMA2000®, 1xEVDO,
TD-SCDMA and LTE, but parameters can also be user-
defined. For example, users can enter different channel
widths and spacings for up to 12 channels and up to 12
adjacent channels for the measurement of multicarrier
signals.

Spectrum emission mask measurement on an LTE signal. Measurement of spurious emissions (spectrum
emission mask)
The R&S®FSH measures spurious emissions of a base sta-
tion using the spectrum emission mask (SEM) function.
Spurious emissions can interfere with adjacent trans-
mit signals, resulting in reduced signal quality and lower
data rates. By means of the SEM function, the R&S®FSH
tests whether the signal lies within the limits defined by
the wireless communications standard. The R&S®FSH
offers a wide range of predefined masks, e.g. for 3GPP
WCDMA, CDMA2000®, WiMAX™, LTE, TD-SCDMA,
WLAN and WiBro. New masks with user-defined settings
can be created and ­utilized quickly and easily with the
R&S®InstrumentView software.

Measurement of the modulation spectrum on

signal only in the time interval in which the pulse is active.
Modulation spectrum measurement (yellow trace) on a pulsed This method makes it possible, for instance, to display the

as shown in the example, a pulsed WiMAX™ signal.

Analysis of GSM/GPRS/EDGE transmit signals

The R&S®FSH-K10 option demodulates GSM, GPRS and
EDGE base station signals. A fast and accurate signal
­analysis is performed, allowing the user to easily check
and troubleshoot base stations. The spectrum overview
displays the RF channel power and occupied bandwidth of
the signal. If the received ­power is below the specified lim-
it, it indicates poor link performance. A too high RF chan-
nel power would interfere with other base stations.

The result summary displays the main signal parameters

such as RF channel power, burst power, carrier frequency
error, modulation and base station identity code (BSIC).

tion accuracy indicates problems in the BTS transmitter
components.

The power versus time display shows the GSM/EDGE

bursts in the time domain. It is used to check whether the
power and timing of the frame comply with the specifi-
cations. Equipped with the R&S®FSH-K10, the R&S®FSH
measurement results allow network operators to adjust
BTS transmit power and frequency settings accurately,
­improving signal quality and out-of-channel emissions.
The result is less interference, higher data rates and more
network capacity.

option. signals
When commissioning and maintaining base stations, u ­ sers
need a quick overview of the modulation characteristics,
the power of the code channels and the signal quality. The
R&S®FSH-K44 option demodulates 3GPP WCDMA base
station signals and performs a detailed analysis. In addi-
tion to the total power, it measures the power of the most
important code channels such as the common pilot chan-
nel (CPICH), the primary common control physical channel
(P-CCPCH) and the primary and secondary ­synchronization
channels (P-SCH and S-SCH). It also displays the carrier
frequency offset and the error vector magnitude (EVM)
which is used to draw conclusions about signal quality.
The ratio of the chip energy (EC) to the power density of
the interference signal (I0) provides information about the
signal-to-interference ratio. The scrambling code can be
determined at the press of a button and used automatical-
ly for decoding the code channels. For a quick overview of
adjacent base stations, the R&S®FSH provides up to eight

addition to total power, the spectrum analyzer determines
the power of the pilot channel (F-PICH) and the synchroni-
zation channel (F-SYNC). The carrier frequency offset, the
error vector magnitude (EVM) and Rho are also measured
and displayed. This allows the user to detect transmitter
impairments such as clipping or intermodulation that are
difficult to recognize in the spectrum.

user to detect transmitter impairments such as clipping or
intermodulation that are difficult to recognize in the spec-
trum. In addition, current traffic activity is displayed. This
value shows whether connection problems or low data
rates are caused by high traffic activity.

The R&S®FSH-K47E option enables in-depth 1xEV-DO

measurements. For a quick overview of adjacent base sta-
tions, the R&S®FSH provides up to eight PN offsets with
corresponding power. The burst power measurement
in the time domain is used to check whether the power
and timing of the 1xEV-DO frame comply with standard
specifications.

Vector network analysis: simultaneous display of four S-parameters. Matching and transmission characteristics of filters, ampli-
fiers, etc. can be determined quickly and with high accu-
racy in the forward and reverse direction with only one test
setup. The built-in DC bias supplies power to active DUTs,
such as amplifiers, via the RF cable. This function is espe-
cially useful for mast-mounted amplifiers in a base station.

Cable loss measurement. One-port cable loss measurements
The R&S®FSH can determine the cable loss of ­installed ca-
bles without much effort. Simply connect one end of the
cable to the R&S®FSH measurement port. The other end of
the cable is terminated with a short circuit or left open.

Distance-to-fault measurements
The distance-to-fault, caused by a pinched cable or by
loose or corroded cable connections, is determined ­quickly
and precisely. The built-in threshold function ensures that
only true cable faults, i.e. faults that exceed a tolerance
limit, are listed. This considerably simplifies measurement
evaluation.

Vector voltmeter
The R&S®FSH-K45 vector voltmeter option displays the
magnitude and phase of a DUT at a fixed frequency. There-
fore, the R&S®FSH (models .23/.24/.28/.30) can replace a
conventional vector voltmeter for many applications. Be-
cause the required signal source and bridge are already

Comparison measurements, e.g. between different RF ca-
bles and a reference cable (golden device), can be quickly
and easily performed.

Display of map triangulation lines with R&S®FSH-K15. Geotagging
When equipped with the R&S®FSH-K16, the R&S®HA-Z240
GPS receiver and an antenna, the R&S®FSH can ­analyze
the geographical distribution of the received signal
strength, enabling network operators to analyze the cover-
age conditions around the base station´s coverage area.

The R&S®FSH-K16 geotagging option can also be used by

base station maintenance technicians to document and re-
port on the map the site location where the measurements
were performed.

The measured data can be displayed on Google Earth for

postprocessing, making it easier to recognize areas with
poor coverage or high levels of interference.

Indoor mapping
The indoor mapping function helps users measure indoor
coverage in a simple and reliable way.

Geotagging results display with R&S®FSH-K16. With the indoor mapping option (R&S®FSH-K17), the user
can easily import indoor maps into the R&S®FSH and
record the signal strength distribution in environments
where a GPS signal is not available, such as buildings
or tunnels, while keeping the information of the location
where measurements have been done.

Measured data can be converted to .csv format for analy-

sis with MS Excel. Export to the .kmz format is also pos-
sible, to analyze the data and superimpose the indoor map
in Google Earth.

Field strength measurements with directional

antennas
When measuring electric field strength, the R&S®FSH
takes into account the specific antenna factors of the con-
nected antenna. The field strength is displayed directly in
dBμV/m. If W/m2 is selected, the power flux density is cal-
culated and displayed. In addition, frequency-dependent
loss or gain, e.g. of a cable or amplifier, can be corrected.
For simple result analysis, the R&S®FSH provides two user-
definable limit lines with automatic limit monitoring.

Field strength measurements with isotropic

antennas
Equipped with the isotropic antennas of the R&S®TS-EMF
measurement system, the R&S®FSH can determine the
direction-independent resultant field strength in the fre-
quency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz. The antenna includes
three orthogonally arranged antenna elements for measur-

activates the three antenna elements and calculates the
resultant field strength, taking into ­account the antenna
factors for each antenna element as well as the cable loss
of the connection cable.
