The value units:
– The values related to the RF outputs are displayed in dBm
– The values related to the baseband outputs - in dB

Set Noise Power Via
In "Additive Noise" mode, selects the way the noise power is determined.
The following correlation applies:
"C/N or S/N"= ("E
b
/N
0
")*(f
bit
/B
sys
), where:
●
"C/N or S/N" is the carrier/noise ratio
●
"E
b
/N
0
" is the ratio of bit energy to noise power density
●
"Bit Rate "f
bit
= "Symbol Rate" x Modulation Value
●
B
sys
is the system bandwidth.

Reference Mode
Selects whether the carrier or the noise power is kept constant if the C/N or Eb/N0 ratio
is changed.
In the common case, the instrument keeps the carrier power and adjusts the noise
power accordingly. Some test cases however, for example the 3GPP Base Station
Tests (TS 25.141), specify explicitly the noise power. These test cases require that the
noise power is permanently set as a function of the base station power class, whereas
the carrier power is variable.

Bit Rate
In "Additive Noise" mode, indicates the bit rate used for converting C/N or S/N to E
b
/N
0
.
Tip: For digitally modulated signals, select the bit rate before or after channel coding,
as required.

Carrier/Noise Ratio, Signal/Noise Ratio
In "Additive Noise" and "CW Interferer" mode, sets the carrier/noise, signal/noise or
signal/interferer ratio.
Whether a configuration of C/N or S/N is enabled, depend on the selected output Show
Powers for Output.
●
In "Reference Mode > Carrier": sets the noise power. It does not affect the power of
the useful signal, i.e. the carrier power remains constant.
Thus the power of the carrier + noise signal or the power of the output signal
changes.
