TEST_34 - TXD Traffic Channel Open Loop
Power
Description
This test measures the range of the MSUT’s output power in response
to changes in the Test Set’s output power, Ior, while on a traffic channel.
This test is performed as follows:
1. A Service Option 2 (or 9 if parameter 19. RT Rate Set Selection
[0=9600 1=14400] is set to 1) call is attempted, unless a Service
Option 2 call is already connected. If the MSUT has not registered,
the call attempt may be unsuccessful and the error message “Failed
to establish a call in test <>” will be displayed. To correct this
problem, perform the CPD Registration test.
2. Power levels are set up according to values found in TIA/EIA/IS-98
standards.
3. Specification limits are set based on the MSUT power class and the
parameter TXD Antenna Gain.
4. The Test Set is put in Open Loop power control mode. In this mode,
the Test Set’s power control subchannel does not adjust the MSUT’s
output power based on signal strength measurements. Instead, the
Test Set’s power control subchannel outputs a fixed pattern of up
and down bits, holding the MSUT power level at or near its open loop
estimate.
5. Three power measurements are made on the MSUT as the Test Set
Ior is varied. The Channel Power measurement is used for the first
measurement and the Average Power measurement is used for the
following two measurements. The Test Set uses Open Loop power
control mode for this test. The call drop timer is turned off for
Ior=-25dBm so the call will not be dropped if the reverse link power
is too low for the test set to demodulate the data.
6. The following information is printed to the TESTS (IBASIC
Controller) screen:
• TXD Open Loop Pwr @-25 dBm <Channel Power measurement>
• TXD Open Loop Pwr @-65 dBm <Average Power measurement>
• TXD Open Loop Pwr @-104 dBm <Average Power measurement>
Refer to the Agilent 8924C Reference Guide for information about the
Open Loop power control mode, see the Closed Loop Pwr Cntl field
