Making EDGE (with GSM) Measurements
Making the Tx Band Spur Measurement
Making the Tx Band Spur Measurement
Purpose
The Tx Band Spur measurement checks that the transmitter does not
transmit undesirable energy into the transmit band. This energy may
cause interference for other users of the GSM system.
Measurement Method
This is a base station only measurement. The transmitter should be set
at its maximum output power on all time slots. This measurement is
performed at RF channels B (bottom), M (middle), and T (top). Refer to
the following table.
The transmit band spectrum is measured in several frequency
segments using resolution bandwidths as specified by the standard (see
the list below).
