Setting Up a PHS Bit Error Rate Test (BERT)
Starting BERT measurements
Press the front panel Tri gger hardkey to start the BERT measurement. You will see the measurement result
values of the Total Bits, Error Bits, and BERT on the signal generator display.
NOTE If you encounter problems making a BERT measurement, check the following:
• Make sure that the cable connections are properly configured.
• Make sure that the data pattern for the BERT measurement, specified by the
Data
softkey, matches the data pattern in the traffic channel (TCH) for the RF signal being
input to the radio under test.
• Make sure that the RF is turned on.
• Make sure that the amplitude is set to the correct level.
• Make sure that the radio under test is controlled to receive the signal of the specified
carrier frequency and the timeslot.
