Channel Scanner Mode
Introduction
This chapter presents Channel Scanner (Option 27) information and procedures.
Channel Scanner
The Channel Scanner option measures the output power of multiple transmitted signals.
The output power can be displayed as a bar graph or a text display showing the amplitude
of selected channels for a given air interface standard. Up to 20 channels can be measured.
The operating frequency range for Channel Scanner mode can either be set manually, or the
desired air interface standard can be selected from the Signal Standard list in the instru
-
ment. When the frequency range is selected from the Signal Standard list, all frequency re
-
lated parameters are automatically set to the appropriate values for the selected standard.
The Channel Scanner option provides the choice of a bar graph or a text display showing
the amplitude of selected channels for a given air interface standard. The interface settings
can be manually entered if none of the available air interface standards meet the measure-
ment need.
