Adjacent-Channel Power Measurement ACPM
WHY?
Adjacent-channel power is that part of mobile-station
power which is emitted as noise in each of the two
adjacent channels. To avoid adjacent-channel inter-
ference, the noise must not exceed a defined value.
Requirement
Make the general test preparations.
HOW?
Press
{ACPM}
in the burst display mask.
Enter the number of the channel on which the mobile
station currently sends (Fig. 10.24). Entry of a frequency
value is not possible.

. The display shows the test
results.
End the test with
{STOP}
.
{RETURN}
takes you back to the
burst display mask.
