The Dynamic Power measurement is similar the EDGE Dynamic Power (EDP) Measurement . The difference being that the Dynamic Power measurement is limited to GMSK bursts in GSM and GPRS test modes, whereas the EDP measurement can measure GMSK bursts in GSM and GPRS test modes, as well as GMSK and 8PSK bursts EGPRS test mode.
The Dynamic Power measurement performs a series of consecutive power measurements on a mobile station returning a power measurement and an integrity value for each burst measured. Dynamic Power is only available via the test set's remote user interface.
The Dynamic Power measurement does not use the multi-measurement state parameter, and so does not return minimum, maximum, and standard deviation values. Instead, you specify the number of bursts that you want to measure using the Number of Bursts parameter (see SETup:DPOWer:COUNt:NUMBer[:SELected] ). A single measurement returns the integrity indicator and power level for every burst measured. For example, if you set the number of bursts to 15, the returned comma-separated list contains 15 integrity values followed by 15 corresponding measurement values.
Dynamic Power measurements can be made on these types of input signals:
The Dynamic Power measurement will complete and meet its measurement accuracy specifications when the signal meets the following input signal conditions.
