Achieving Stable Results with GSM Signals
Signals with a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) close to a multiple or
sub- multiple of the 440 Hz chopper- amplifier signal generate a beat note
at a frequency between the PRF and 440 Hz. Control over the filter
settings is again required to obtain stable results.
You should also ensure the filter is not reset when a step increase or decrease in power is
detected by switching the step detection off.
TIP The PRF of a GSM signal is approximately 217 Hz and thus
requires more averaging than most other TDMA signals. To
achieve a stable measurement use the filter setting procedures
to set the . Experimentally, a setting of 148
gives optimum results although settings in the order of 31 or 32
give acceptable results if a faster measurement is required.
