Data Processing Method Peak vs Aggregate
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.
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.
Anritsu 24

Aggregation does not happen over time, but over multipath components that are all
simultaneously present.
Pilot Scrambling Code Scanning
Pilot Scrambling Code Scanning or Known Scrambling Code Scanning can be used to scan
known pilots. The Known Scrambling Code Scanning will from now on be referred to as Normal
Pilot Mode.

MEASURING WITH DRT SCANNERS
Frequency Scanning
Frequency scanning can be used to scan band power. It is also useful for checking that the
band is deselected and for finding out the center frequency.
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. You can enable or disable the integrated GPS receiver through the Advanced button. It is
also possible to use an external GPS device with the scanner.
3. In the Measurement Properties dialog, go to the Frequency scanning page.

Channel style refers to the channel bandwidth.
aggregate method, the sum of all peak pilot Ec/Io values above the PN threshold is calculated.
Top-N option enables/disables TOP-N scrambling code scanning. If enabled, scanner will report
results from N best preambles. Number of preambles field defines how many preambles are
reported by the scanner in TOP-N mode.
CINR refers to the Carrier to Interference and Noise ratio value, in dB *100 (e.g., -16.34). It is
based on the requested reuse factor.
Preamble delay refers to the number of samples between expected arrival time and actual
arrival time of preamble with respect to GPS time reference. The values range from 0 to
1023+32. Each sample corresponds to 89.285 nanoseconds.
DRT 41

Reuse factor refers to a system design parameter that can be manipulated to achieve the
desired balance between the interference and the network coverage. The WiMAX air interface
modulating 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.

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.
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.

PCTEL 82

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.

dialogs.
6. The device is now connected to the computer. See Starting Devices below for information
on how to connect the scanner with Nemo Outdoor.
System Priority Order with R&S TSMW Scanners
Please note that the R&S TSMW scanner option TSMW-K71 disables the RF2 input from
the scanner.
Multiple cellular technologies (systems) are measured in a parallel manner. The different
systems are arranged in a priority order. The CDMA and EVDO systems are counted as one
system. Nemo Outdoor handles priority and allocates the RF ports automatically. In this case
priority refers to the order in which systems are allocated to RF port #1 and RF port #2. The
resource slot number defines in how many processes one RF port is divided.
Rohde & Schwarz 95

Both ports, RF #1 and RF #2, have 100% of available resources. When only one system
(except LTE) is measured, for example WCDMA, it is set to be measured via RF port #1 with
100% of its resources. When two systems are measured simultaneously, for example GSM and
WCDMA, GSM has higher priority over WCDMA. GSM is set to be measured via RF port #1
with 100% of its resources, whereas WCDMA system is set to be measured via RF port #2 with
100% of its resources.
When three systems are measured simultaneously, for example GSM, WCDMA and CDMA, the
systems are again allocated in the priority order for the two RF ports. In this case RF port #1 is
shared by two systems: GSM and CDMA. Each system gets 50% of the RF port #1 resources.
100% of RF port #2 resources are allocated to WCDMA measurements.
With LTE, all carriers are allocated to RF port #1. RF port #2 is used, when required, for BCH
demodulation, WB scanning, and MIMO scanning. When performing LTE scanning, an antenna
needs to be connected to both ports to avoid distortions in the measurement results. The LTE
scanning scenario is fixed; all other scans are allocated dynamically.
If the measurement setup includes an odd number of other systems in addition to LTE, the
scanning is allocated to RF port #1. Spectrum scanning is counted as one of the systems.
Spectrum scanning performed simultaneously with 2G/3G and 4G scanning is allocated to RF
port #2.

TOP-N Pilot Scanning - LTE
Properties.
2. Go to the Pilot scanning, LTE page to define LTE-specific pilot scanning settings.

CINR option activates/deactivates Carrier to Interference and Noise Ratio measuring. Carrier
refers to either reference signal power or sync signal power depending on the selected signal
type.
Time offset refers to the number of samples between P-SCH Primary Synchronization Signal
arrival time with respect to receiver frequency reference that is derived from GPS reference
time.
Select the MIMO scanning option to start recording MIMO parameters. Please refer to Rohde &
Schwarzs technical note about Multi-Band MIMO and TSMW provided in the Nemo Outdoor
product package.
Rohde & Schwarz 111

Sync signal refers to the ratio between the synchronization channel, i.e., primary and
secondary signal received power and the interference and noise from the same synchronization
signal set.
Reference signal refers to the ratio between the reference signal received power (RSRP) and
the interference and noise from the same reference signal set.
When you select LTE channels, you can also define some channel-specific settings. In the LTE
Channel Specific Settings dialog, select the channel from the Selected channels list and
define the settings.
Note that the available options are device specific.

Channel style allows you to define the channel bandwidth manually (1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, and 20
MHz) 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 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.

3. In the Measurement Properties dialog, select the Enable spectrum scanning option.
Click Add.

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.
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.
