5.2.2 TX test
TX ON command enables RF transmitter with the given parameters. It also measures TX power with an
internal measurement receiver in time domain and returns the measurement result. TX OFF command
disables RF transmitter.
TX ON has a total of seven input parameters:
Parameter Range Description
3GPP band number 1 to 66 nRF9160 supported bands
Frequency 100 kHz raster 6000 to 22000 Corresponds to 600 to 2200 MHz
System mode 0 to 1 NB1 = 0, M1 = 1
Signal level at antenna -50 to +23 TX signal level at antenna port [dBm]
Modulation CW to 16QAM TX signal properties - options available depending
on selected system mode
RB or SC count 1 to 12 TX signal properties - options available depending
on selected system mode
RB or SC start position 0 to 11 TX signal properties - options available depending
on selected system mode
Table 3: TX ON input parameters
The response to the test is TX signal power at antenna port measured internally by DUT. The same TX
signal power can be measured with external measurement equipment connected to DUT antenna port.
