Setting the PN Offset

---

The PN Offset is a "short code" sequence that provides a unique identifier for each sector of each cell site. The PN Offsets are applied to the I and Q signals before modulation. PN Offsets are offset in time by 52.08 µs and they repeat every 26.666 ms. This yields 512 unique short code sequences (0-511). The access terminal needs the PN Offset to decode information in the Pilot and MAC channels, which are transmitted by the access network.
If you have selected Auto PN Offset, the displayed PN Offset result corresponds to the PN Offset of the Pilot sequence with the highest power. If you have selected Manual PN Offset, the result displayed corresponds to your chosen PN Offset.
The number of slots over which the acquistion is made is determined by the Measurement Interval, which itself is determined by the Measurement Time. For more information, refer to "Setting Measurement Time"
