If the scanner supports only one carrier, you can select either GSM or UMTS channels to be
scanned.
If the scanner supports two carriers, you can select for scanning both GSM and UMTS
channels. If you select GSM channels, you can select a maximum of one UMTS channel. If
you do not select GSM channels, you can select one or two UMTS channels.
3. On the Frequency scanning, GSM page, click the Select Channels button to select the GSM
channels to be scanned.
Page 11
Note that the scanner reports the 32 strongest channels from the selected GSM
channels.
Channel style defines the bandwidth of the measured channel. For GSM the options are 200 kHz and
30 kHz narrow.
Data mode defines the type of measurement data computed from each sample. Note that the
available selection depends on the scanner type.
RX Level Average: the data reported is the average RX level, in dB, of the number of samples.
RX Level Maximum: the data reported is the maximum RX level, in dB, of the number of
samples.
RX Level Minimum: the data reported is the minimum RX level, in dB, of the number of
samples.
RX Level Standard Deviation: the data reported is the standard of deviation of the number of
samples reported as an integer.
RX Level 10%: the data reported is the 10th percentile RX level, in dB, of the number of
samples.
RX Level 50%: the data reported is the 50th percentile RX level, in dB, of the number of
samples.
Page 12
RX Level 90%: the data reported is the 90th percentile RX level, in dB, of the Number of
samples.
Measurement period defines the time in milliseconds for which the scanner measures and then
reports the result.
Sample size defines the number of samples taken from each channel before a measurement result is
written to file.
Selecting the BSIC decoding option displays BSIC value in a measurement window.
BSIC Threshold defines the minimum BSIC level that the scanner reports.
BCCH C/I option is available with PCTEL and Rohde&Schwarz GSM scanners only.
4. Click the Start Recording button
2.3.2
Page 13
Note that some of the options are enabled/disabled in this dialog according to the
selected scanner model.
Channel style refers to the bandwidth of the channel. For UMTS scanners, the options are Narrow
Band (200kHz) and Wide Band (3.84MHz). For Anritsu scanners, only Wide Band is available.
Data processing method defines how the scanned data is processed by the scanner. In aggregate
method, the sum of all peak pilot Ec/Io values above the PN threshold is calculated. If there are no
peaks above the PN threshold, value -30 dB is returned for WCDMA.
Measurement period defines the time in milliseconds for which the scanner measures and then
reports the result.
Number of fingers defines the maximum number of fingers used for RAKE in measurement.
Selective level determines a valid path. Set a value (in dB) to decide a valid path from the noise
floor (average value).
Rake threshold determines a valid path (in dB). Subtracting the set value from a path with a
maximum correlation value gives the lower limit of the valid path.
Top-N option enables/disables Top-N scrambling code scanning. If enabled, scanner will report results
from N best scrambling codes. Number of pilots field defines how many pilots are reported by
scanner in Top-N mode.
Page 14
Delay profile option enables/disables delay profile scanning. The Channel number field provides a
list of channels that can be selected for scanning.
Finger option enables and disables Finger measurements for the scanner.
P-SCH defines if the selected scanner will measure the P-SCH Ec/N0 value for each scrambling code.
SIR (signal to interference ratio) defines if the selected scanner will measure the SIR value for each
scrambling code.
S-SCH defines if the selected scanner will measure the S-SCH Ec/N0 value for each scrambling code.

Pilot scanning
1. After the DRT WIMAX scanner is connected and activated in Nemo Outdoor, open the
Measurement Properties dialog by selecting Measurement | <device> | General
Properties.
2. In the Measurement Properties dialog, go to the Pilot scanning page.
waveform has been divided into three segments (Segment 0, 1 and 2). The allocation of frequency
sub-carrier into these three segments is done in such a way that e.g. a downlink signal on segment 0
will not interfere with the downlink signal on segment 1. In a Reuse Factor 1 measurement,
contributions from all the three segments are considered in the measured parameters, so that the
CINRs are calculated from all the three segments. When Reuse Factor 3 is selected, only the
contribution of the desired segment is considered, and the CINRs are calculated only from the same
segment. As a broad guideline, measurements performed with Reuse Factor 1 will provide the signal
quality of the all the detected preambles relative to each other, whereas the Reuse Factor 3 category
of measurements will provide the signal quality of preambles within the same segment.
Delay spread defines if the selected scanner will also measure the delay spread value (in chips) for
each scanned scrambling code. Delay spread is determined as the difference between the last and first
component to break the threshold set in PN Threshold.
3. The Top-N Configuration button will open the Select Frequencies dialog where you can
select frequencies for scanning. The maximum number of frequencies that can be selected is
device specific.
4. After making the appropriate settings, click OK and OK again and go to online mode to start the

2. Connect the scanner GPS antenna cable to the scanner GPS input (above RF Input).
Page 34
3. Connect the scanner power cable to the scanner serial port (Data).
4. The scanner cable is split into a serial cable connector and a power cable connector. Connect the
serial cable to one of the COM ports in the PC. Connect the scanner power cable to a cigarette
lighter in the car.
5. When connecting the scanner power cable, check the Power led:
If the led is first orange for a while and then turns green, the scanner is working properly
and using a baud rate of 38400
If the led blinks orange and black for a while and then turns green, the scanner is working
properly and using baud rate of 115200
If the led is red, the scanner is not working properly. Switch the power off and on again. If
this occurs after usage, the device may be overheated. Let it cool down for a while.
Note! Memorize the baud rate. It is needed when starting the device.
Note that you cannot use both the integrated and an external GPS receiver at the
same time.
If there is only one port in the PC by default, this port should be reserved for the
scanner. In this case connect the GPS to the PCMCIA serial port adapter.

The SeeGull MX as shown in the figure below is configured for the following bands: 2100 AWS, 1900,
850, and 700 MHz bands on a standard MISO radio system. Either an OP216 (1700 to 2600 MHz)
antenna or an OP078H (698 to 2300 MHz) antenna can be connected the RF1 port. The OP078H is
recommended in this case to keep all the antenna types. Another OP078H antenna must be connected
to port RF4 (700 to 1000 MHz) to service the 700 and 850 MHz bands. Antenna ports RF2 and RF3 are
not used in this example and do not require antenna connections.

Example 2
The SeeGull MX as shown in the figure below is configured for the following bands: 2600, 2100, 1800,
and 900 MHz bands on a standard MISO radio system. An OP216 (1700 to 2600 MHz) antenna must
be connected to the RF1 port to handle the 2600 band. Either an OP216 (1700 to 2600 MHz) antenna
or an OP078H (698 to 2300 MHz) antenna can be connected to the RF3 port. The OP216 is
recommended for out of USA applications to keep all the antenna types the same since higher bands
are more prevalent in Europe and Asia. The OP078H antenna must be connected to port RF4 (700 to
1000 MHz) to service the 900 MHz band. Antenna port RF2 is not used in this example and does not
require an antenna connection.
4.6.3
Example 3
The SeeGull MX as shown in the figure below is configured for the following bands: 2100 AWS, 1900,
850 MIMO, and 700 MHz bands on MIMO and MISO radio systems. Similar to Example 1, either an
OP216 (1700 to 2600 MHz) antenna or an OP078H (698 to 2300 MHz) antenna can be connected to
the RF1 port. The OP078H is recommended for bands used in USA for the purpose of having the same
antenna type. Since antenna ports RF3RF6 are MIMO antenna ports, each port requires its own
antenna. Since the bands on RF3-RF6 are 850 and 700 MHz, the antenna type required is the OP078H
for each port. Note that MISO bands (700 A/B/C in this case) are allowed on the MIMO radio system
provided an antenna is supplied for each RF port. Antenna port RF2 is not used in this example and
does not require an antenna connection.

4.10.6.1
If the multipath components are significantly lower than the peak, their contribution will be negligible
and the aggregate will be the same as the peak. However, if one or more multipath components are
close to the peak component in power, its power combined with the peak components power will be
larger than either of them alone. In the case where a multipath component is the same strength as
the peak the aggregate will be twice the power, or 3dB higher than the peak. Thus, the aggregate will
always be the same as or larger than the peak.
As a practical matter, many multipath components are typically present in an urban environment,
where there are many surfaces (e.g., buildings) which can reflect the radio signal. By contrast, there
may be few or no multipath components in a rural environment.
Page 77
The difference between Aggregate and Peak is variable. Probably the difference will lie in the range of
0 to 4 dB. If the multipath components are small, they will have no contribution and aggregate will be
equal to peak (0 dB difference). In the case above where one multipath is equal to the peak, the
doubling of power gives +3dB to the aggregate. There might be cases where two components are the
same strength as the peak and this would result in an aggregate +4.7dB relative to the
peak. Naturally, if another component becomes higher than the peak, it becomes the new peak.
Aggregation does not happen over time, but over multipath components that are all simultaneously
present.
Page 78
Data processing method defines how the scanned data is processed by the scanner. In aggregate
method, the sum of all peak pilot Ec/Io values above the PN threshold is calculated. If there are no
peaks above the PN threshold, value -30 dB is returned for WCDMA.
The available Sampling ratio options are 1:1, 1:2, 1:4 and 1:8. With ratio 1:1 all samples (Pilotscan

The Sample count field determines the sample count measured for the given frequency range.
5. The Add to Scanning List menu enables you to decide whether the new scanning set is added
to the scanning list, or saved as a predefined set also for later use.
6. The Predefined scanning sets can be used to quickly select the frequency range to be scanned.
Select a set from the list, and click on Add to Scanning List.
Page 83
With PCTEL EX scanning receivers, the internal frequency range is defined with start frequency,
resolution bandwidth (RBW) and number of points. Stop frequency = start frequency + (frequency
spacing) * (number of points 1). All the points need to be within the frequency range of the
requested RF Band. Frequency spacing is between the center frequencies and spacing between points
is half of the resolution bandwidth. The maximum number of samples (points) is 2560. As seen in the
formula above, stop frequency is calculated based on start frequency and number of points. Stop
frequency set by the user is only requested value but it is not necessarily used during the
measurement.
If the requested frequency range is not supported by the device, Nemo Outdoor automatically adjusts
the frequency range for the device, and only frequency ranges supported by the scanning receiver are
used to make spectrum analyzer measurements. The number of samples is used only for the
frequency range supported by the scanning receiver. Nemo Outdoor does not read the supported
frequency range from the scanning receiver. For example, in the picture below the user has set start
and stop frequencies as seen within the red area. However, the scanning receiver supports only
frequency ranges shown by the green areas. The number of samples is used only for green areas and
the correct RBW is selected accordingly.

or to select Autodetect in which case the scanner selects the bandwidth. With Autodetect selected, the
scanner reads the bandwidth information from the Master Information Block (MIB) message and
adjusts the BW accordingly. Autodetection can be done only when signal quality is sufficient. If the BW
Page 119
information cannot be decoded, for example, due to poor quality of the signal, the narrow band mode
(1.4MHz) is selected automatically.
Note that scanning speed is optimized for the narrowband mode (1.4 MHz). In
wideband mode, the scanning speed is about 37% less compared to the narrowband
mode.
Note that TSMW firmware version 1.10 or higher is required to select bandwidths
above 1.4MHz.
Cyclic prefix defines the type of signal the scanner is set to measure. With Autodetect selected, the
scanner will automatically detect the appropriate signal type.
Uplink-downlink configuration refers to LTE TDD frame structure.

4. To create new scanning sets, define the scanning frequencies in the Reporting view.
Set start and stop frequencies defines the frequency range that will be scanned.
Set center frequency and bandwidth defines the frequency range that will be scanned.
The Sample count field determines the sample count measured for the given frequency range.
Scanner front-end defines which front-end is used in spectrum scanning. The front-end can be
defined for each frequency set separately. With the Automatic option, scanner allocates and performs
tasks with both RF front-ends.
With Rohde & Schwarz scanner receivers, the user can set the start and stop frequency between
80MHz and 3000MHz. Sample counts are divided to the frequency range defined by the user. The
TSMx device has a native frequency resolution of 12.8 KHz. It should be noted that the frequency shift
cannot be lower than 12.8kHz, which sets the number of sample count max. limit to 5000 samples. In
case the selected frequency range and sample count require a frequency shift lower than 12.8kHz, the
sample count is automatically decreased. The sweep speed, resolution bandwidth and sampling rate
are fixed. The sweep speed is 1 GHz / 0.1 sec, the resolution bandwidth is fixed at 30 kHz.
For example, if the start frequency is 80 MHz, and the stop frequency is 100 MHz, the total measured
bandwidth is 20 MHz. If the sample count is set to 20, power (RMS) is measured from a 1 MHz
bandwidth. With the frequency shift of 12.8 KHz ~ 78 samples are taken from each 1 MHz bandwidth.
