The R&S FSVA/FSV is set to its default state.
2. Set the center frequency to 128 MHz and the span to 0 Hz.
a) Press the FREQ key and enter 128 MHz.
b) Press the SPAN key and enter 0 Hz or press the "Zero Span" softkey.
3. Set the sweep time to 2.5 ms.
a) Press the SWEEP key.
b) Press the "Sweeptime Manual" softkey.
c) Enter 2.5 ms.
4. Set the reference level to +6 dBm and the display range to linear.

2.5.4 Measurements in Zero Span
For radio transmission systems that use the TDMA method (e.g. GSM or IS136), trans-
mission quality is determined not only by spectral characteristics but also by character-
istics in zero span. A timeslot is assigned to each user since several users share the
same frequency. Smooth operation is ensured only if all users adhere exactly to their
assigned timeslots.
