Achieving Stable Results with GSM Signals
Signals with a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) close to a multiple or a
submultiple of the 440 Hz chopper-amplifier signal generate a beat note at a
frequency between the PRF and 4F400Hz0 Hz. Control over the filter settings is
again required to obtain stable results.
Ensure that 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.
