Carrier + Noise Power, Signal + Noise Power (System Bandwidth), Carrier + Inter-
ferer Power, Signal + Interferer Power
In "Additive Noise" and "CW Interferer" mode, displays the overall power of the noise/
interferer signal plus useful signal.
The output selected with the parameter Show Powers for Output determines:
●
The name of this parameter
●
The units the overall power is measured in, dBm or dB (full scale)
See also Figure 5-3.
Remote command:

Carrier + Noise PEP, Signal + Noise PEP (Total Bandwidth), Carrier + Interferer
PEP, Signal + Interferer PEP
In "Additive Noise" and "CW Interferer" mode, displays the peak envelope power (PEP)
of the overall signal comprised of noise signal plus useful signal.
The output selected with the parameter Show Powers for Output determines:
●
The name of this parameter
●
The units the overall power is measured in, dBm or dB (full scale)
Note: The peak envelope power ("PEP") displayed in the "Status bar" corresponds to
the PEP value of the carrier.

Noise Bandwidth
For "Additive Noise" and "Noise Only" modes and with activated AWGN generator,
indicates the real noise bandwidth.

5.2.4 How to Configure the Noise Generator for Receiver Tests
This section shows you how to configure the noise generator for receiver tests, for
example the tests specified in the 3GPP test specification TS 36.141, Chapter 7.
For the following example, we assume that the R&S SMW generates an uplink
EUTRA/LTE signal with following characteristics:
●
"EUTRA/LTE > Duplexing = FDD", "Link Direction = Uplink"
●
"EUTRA/LTE > General Uplink Setting > Channel Bandwidth = 5 MHz" and "Occu-
pied Bandwidth = 4.5 MHz"
●
"EUTRA/LTE > Frame Configuration > UE1 > FRC > FRC State = On" and "FRC =
TS 36.141: A2-3"
●
"EUTRA/LTE > State = On"
