Using the CDMA Analyzer


CDMA transmitter measurements verify proper transmitter performance and are typically made with the base station out of service. Important metrics are:

CAUTION: The maximum power for the RF In (Port 1) and RF Out/SWR (Port 2) ports is +20 dBm (100 mW). When using the 8481A/8482A Power Sensors, the maximum input power applied to the Power Sensor is +24 dBm (300 mW). When using the 8481D Power Sensor, the maximum input power is +20 dBm (100 mW). When directly coupled to a base station (BTS) or Access Network (AN), the test set can be damaged by excessive power applied to any of these three ports.

To prevent damage in most situations when you directly couple the test set to a base station, use the high power attenuator between the test set and the BTS.
