4.3.5 Minimum Controlled Output Power
Last updated: May 24, 2006
Definition
The minimum controlled output power of the access terminal is the output power, measured at the access terminal antenna connector, when both closed loop and open loop power control indicate minimum output.
Method of Measurement
-
Connect the access network emulator to the AT.
-
Set up a Test Application session. For Subtype 0 or 1 Physical Layer, open an RTAP connection and configure the Reverse Data Channel rate to 9.6 kbps. For Subtype 2 Physical Layer, open an RETAP connection and configure the Reverse Data Channel payload size to 256 bits with Termination Target of 16 slots.
-
Set Î
or
to -25 dBm/1.23 MHz.
-
Transmit continuous '1' (down) power control bits.
-
Measure the access terminal power.
Minimum Standard
The mean output power of the access terminal shall be less than -50 dBm/1.23 MHz centered at the CDMA Channel frequency.
