a. ML (mixer level) is RF input power minus attenuation.
b. For 16 QAM or 64 QAM modulation, the relative code domain error (RCDE) must be better than
−16 dB and −22 dB respectively.
c. The accuracy specification applies when the EVM to be measured is well above the measurement floor.
When the EVM does not greatly exceed the floor, the errors due to the floor add to the accuracy errors.
The errors due to the floor are noise-like and add incoherently with the UUT EVM. The errors depend
on the EVM of the UUT and the floor as follows: error = [sqrt(EVMUUT
2
+ EVMsa
2
)]
− EVMUUT,
where EVMUUT is the EVM of the UUT in percent, and EVMsa is the EVM floor of the analyzer in
percent. For example, if the EVM of the UUT is 7%, and the floor is 2.5%, the error due to the floor is
0.43%.
d. This specifies a synchronization range with CPICH for CPICH only signal.
e. tfa = transmitter frequency
× frequency reference accuracy
f. The accuracy specification applies when the measured signal is the combination of CPICH (antenna
−1)
and CPICH (antenna
−2), and where the power level of each CPICH is −3 dB relative to the total power
of the combined signal. Further, the range of the measurement for the accuracy specification to apply is
±0.1 chips.
