Measurement modes
Static reference
sensitivity test (BER%) RBER at user-specified power
level measured (This is the complete
conformance test as defined in
pri-ETS 300 609-1 (GSM 11.21) version
4.12.0 (Dec 98), section 7.3.4
BER sensitivity search Automatically finds the input level
(sensitivity) that causes a user speci-
fied RBER (normally 2%) for Class II
bits
Measurement indication Pass/fail
Maximum frame count 6,000,000 speech frames
Threshold Termination of measurement when
error
count exceeds user specified
threshold
BCH sync BCH signal from the BTS is used to
determine TCH frame and multiframe
location
1. Perch power level is 3 dB below DPCH power.
2. DPCCH power level is 6 dB below DPDCH power.
