TX Code Domain Power/Noise Floor Acceptance Test

DRAFT
Code Domain Power Test
This test verifies the Code Domain Power/Noise of each BBX carrier
keyed up at a specific frequency per the current CDF file assignment.
All tests are performed using the external calibrated test set controlled by
the same command. All measurements are via the appropriate TX OUT
connector.
For each sector/antenna under test, the Pilot Gain is set to 262. All MCC
channel elements under test are configured to generate Orthogonal
Channel Noise Source (OCNS) on different odd Walsh codes and to be
assigned a full–rate gain of 81. The maximum number of MCC/CEs to
be tested at any one time is 32 (32 odd Walsh codes). If more than 32
CEs exist, then multiple sets of measurements are made; so all channel
elements are verified on all sectors.
BBX power output is set to 40 dBm as measured at the TX OUT
connector.
You verify the code domain power levels, which have been set for all
ODD numbered Walsh channels, using the OCNS command. This is
done by verifying that Pilot Power (dBm) minus OCNS Power (dBm) is
equal to
10.2 + 2 dB and that the noise floor of all “OFF” Walsh channels
measures
< –27 dB (with respect to total CDMA channel power).
When performing this test using the LMF and the MCC is
an MCC8E or MCC24E, the redundant BBX may fail or
show marginal performance. This is due to a timing
mismatch that the LMF does not address. Performing this
test from the CBSC will not have this timing problem.
NOTE
The BBX then de-keys and, if selected, the MCC is re-configured to
assign the applicable redundant BBX to the current TX antenna path
under test. The test is then repeated. Upon completion of the test, OCNS
is disabled on the specified MCC/CE.
If using Advantest test equipment, Code Domain Test
MUST be configured in RC–1 mode.
NOTE
See Table 4-1 to perform this test.
