1.1 R&S CMW500 GSM Arbitrary Waveform Playback Setup

The following details how to configure the CMW500 General Purpose RF Generator for playback of an arbitrary waveform used for GSM non-signaling single ended BER testing, using a GMSK modulation. Depending on the implementation of the non-signaling test mode enabled device under test two different arbitrary waveform files are available. The waveforms to execute playback on are:

• D:\Rohde-Schwarz\CMW\Data\waveform\wav10_20032_624.wv • D:\Rohde-Schwarz\CMW\Data\waveform\cs4_2652.wv

1.1.1 Step 1 – Enable the General Purpose RF Generator



1.1.2 Step 2 – Configure the General Purpose RF Generator

1.1.3 Step 3 – Select the ARB File

To select the arbitrary waveform, press the ARB soft key on left side of R&S CMW screen, followed by the “Select ARB File …” soft key on the bottom



Navigate through the pop up dialog, e.g. rotating the spin wheel and select the desired arbitrary waveform file by pushing the spin wheel. Navigate the focus of the dialog to the OK button by rotating the spin wheel again. After selecting the OK button push the spin wheel again

1.1.4 Step 4 – Turn ON the General Purpose RF Generator

To begin playing the arbitrary waveform, press the On/Off hard key button on the R&S CMW500 front panel, located along the top of the instrument, above the spin wheel.

1.1.6 Rohde & Schwarz GSM Non-signaling test arbitrary waveform configuration

The waveforms described below are useful for testing GSM chipsets in non-signaling test mode using the Rohde & Schwarz CMW500 Wideband Radio Communication Tester. The signals provide everything needed in a downlink signal for a non-signaling test mode enabled device under test to synchronize and decode on channel 32.



The signals can be used to perform single ended BER measurements together with TX measurements on the R&S CMW 500. Uplink signal measurements from the chip can be performed using the CMW500 GSM measurement option, KM200. Depending on the implementation of the non-signaling test mode enabled device under test one of these two arbitrary waveform files can be used Waveform file name: wav10_20032_624.wv Waveform Content 2880 millisecond long waveform (624 frames)

A BCCH channel, containing a 51 multi-frame structure on slot 0, starting with frame number 20032

Seven parallel signals , running a TCH 26 multi-frame structure on slots 1 to 7

Providing multi-slot support

Raw data without channel coding

The traffic data contains a non-inverted PRBS-9 sequence

BCCH and TCH channels are transmitted with the same power

Base station color code 0

Coded SACCH, scheduled as in slot 2

IDLE bursts replaced by Dummy bursts

The next graphic illustrates the frame structure of the signal. Timing wise, starting with slot 0 of frame 0 a frequency correction burst (FCC) is transmitted followed by a packet data traffic channel (PDTCH) on slot 1 of frame 0. The signal on slot 0 represents a complete C0 multi-frame signal. With the wrap around of the ARB signal on frame 623 the BCCH multi-frame is incomplete, as 624 frames are not dividable by 51 without a reminder. The length of the packet data traffic channel (PDTCH) signals are 40 TCH multi-frames long (24 x 26 = 624 frames), before the signal wraps around. The signal content of slot 1 to slot 7 is identical.

1.1.7 R&S CMW500 Configuration for GSM Uplink Signal Measurement

The following describes how to configure the R&S CMW500 to perform a measurement on the uplink GSM transmitter. First, enable the GSM TX Measurement option on, by checking its enable radio button from the Measurement Controller sub panel. This menu can be found by pressing the Measure hard key found along the top of the R&S CMW500 front panel, above the number keypad.



1.1.8 Multi Evaluation Settings

Next find and press the following soft key on from the CMW500 GSM TX Measurement – Multi Evaluation screen. If this soft key is not yet visible, use the Tasks hard key.

The Tasks hard key shows the available currently enabled (loaded) software features and to select this feature. Press the soft key “GSM Multi Eval.”

The displayed soft keys row along the bottom of the LCD display should change to one of the GSM Multi Evaluation controls like shown below.

1.1.9 RF Settings

The measurement can be manually executed (triggered) by pressing the ON/OFF hard key on the front panel of the R&S CMW500, located along the top of the instrument, above the spin wheel.

1.1.12 Measurement Results Screen Shots

A successful GSM multi-evaluation measurement on the R&S CMW500 should look something like found on the following screen shot.



Find and press the following soft key on the right-hand column of the LCD screen.

In combination with the soft key “Select View” on the bottom of the display more details for single TX measurements can be visualized.

The following screen shots demonstrate such measurement views





1.1.13 Automating a GSM Measurement with the R&S CMW500

The following SCPI command code is an example of how to configure the R&S

CMW500 signal generator and signal analyzer to perform a non-signaling GSM uplink TX measurement on non signaling enabled GSM chipset. The leading “CMW: ” is not part of the command, this is only used as a address symbol in Rohde & Schwarz remote script tools.

1.1.13.1 Configure the arbitrary signal generator to play the waveform

Whenever loading an ARB file, you should ensure it was present on the selected path. The verification can be achieved by querying the currently loaded ARB file. A return string "No File Selected" would be an indication, that the file is not present. The first example is loading the arbitrary waveform file with the uncoded TCH signal.

The second example is loading the arbitrary waveform file with the CS4 coded PDTCH signal.

1.1.13.2 Configure the R&SCMW500 analyzer to make a GSM measurement
