CALL[:CELL]:POWer
CALL[:CELL]:POWer:AMPLitude[:SELected]
Function Sets/queries the cell power level (including compensation for amplitude offset).
The optional [:SELected] keyword in this command specifies that the cell power level being set or
queried applies to the current system type. The current system type can be changed using the
“CALL[:CELL]:SYSTem[:TYPE]” command.
Cell power and AWGN (see “CALL:AWGNoise:POWer” ) are absolute power levels and make up
the total forward channel RF output power. Depending on the cell power setting, a cell power
level may be within the range listed below but cause an error message to be displayed. Possible
causes are:
• Sum of cell power and AWGN causing total RF power limits to be exceeded (see
“CALL:STATus:TOTal:POWer[:AMPLitude][:SELected]?” for the allowable range of total RF
power levels.)
• Greater than 10 dB difference between cell power and AWGN.
• Amplitude offset causing total RF power limits to be exceeded (see
“SYSTem:CORRection:GAIN” to set or query the amplitude offset value).
Setting Range:
• CDMA: -170 dBm/1.23 MHz to 35 dBm/1.23 MHz
• AMPS: -10 to -127 dBm
Resolution: 0.01 dB
Query Range: Same as setting range.
Resolution: 0.01 dB
*RST Setting • CDMA: -55 dBm/1.23 MHz
• AMPS: -50 dBm
Programming Example
OUTPUT 714;"CALL:CELL:POWER:AMPLITUDE -30"
!Sets the cell power level -30 dBm.
