4.4 BER (Bit Error Rate) Measurement
(1) The Panel Test Mode is used to measure the BER (Refer
"4.2.1 Test mode operation features").
(2) Select "10" (P25 Phase1), "7" (P25 Phase2) and "7"
(NXDN Mode) for test signaling (Refer to "4.2.3 Frequency
and Signaling" (2) Test signaling).
Note:
"7" (NXDN Mode) can be selected only by PC test mode.
(3) Select a bandwidth (Narrow/Very Narrow) by pressing the
[ ] key. When P25 Phase1 or P25 Phase2 is selected, it
is not necessary to select a bandwidth.
(4) Select a test frequency ("4.2.3 Frequency and Signaling"
(2) Test signaling Test frequency).
(5) Measure the BER (Bit Error Rate) using the digital radio
tester.
Enter a standard input signal into the transceiver as a stan-
dard tone test pattern for P25, FSW+PN9 for NXDN.
(6) Adjust the input signal level to achieve the standard bit er-
ror rate (BER).
(For example, if the BER is 0.86%, the display shows
"0.86".)
Note:
"4", "9" (P25 Phase1), "2" (P25 Phase2) is for production.
