EMC32 / AMS32 V8.52 Release Note - Rohde & Schwarz

OTA Section (AMS32)
GSM Sensitivity test: Coarse approach mode is now automatically change to
BER/FER fast leveling when activating (E)-GPRS in the Communication Settings
dialog.
GSM Sensitivity test: A new check box Log RxLevel and RxQuality values has been
added. If this box is checked, RxLevel and RxQuality are queried at the end of the
leveling loop (at the sensitivity threshold). Both values are recorded, together with the
current azimuth, elevation, polarization and radio channel, to a file RxLRxQLog.csv,
which can be found in the \Systems folder of the test.
WCDMA Sensitivity test: A new check box Log RSCP values has been added
(analogous to the above case for GSM). If this box is checked, the RSCP is queried at
the end of the leveling loop (at the sensitivity threshold). The value is recorded, together
with the current azimuth, elevation, polarization and radio channel, to a file
RscpLog.csv, which can be found in the \Systems folder of the test.
WCDMA HSDPA Sensitivity test: A new check box Log Throughput values has
been added (analogous to the above case for GSM). It will only be visible if HSDPA has
been selected in the Communication Settings. If this box is checked, the Throughput is
queried at each level set during the Sensitivity leveling loop. The value is saved,
together with the current downlink level, to a file HsdpaThroughputLog.csv, which can
be found in the \Systems folder of the test.
Please note:
Throughput is defined to be 100 BLER (see CMU200 manual). Therefore, if BLER is
measured, logging the Throughput will not lead to increased test time. On the other
hand, if the coarse approach loop is configured to be done based on RSCP, an
additional BLER measurement will have to be performed at each step if the Throughput
values shall be logged. This will noticeably increase the test time.
