1.1 Product Outline
The MS2830A Signal Analyzer enables high-speed, high-accuracy, and
simple measurements of transmission characteristics of base stations
and mobile stations for various types of mobile communications. The
MS2830A has high-performance signal analyzer and spectrum analyzer
functions as standard, with optional measurement software allowing
modulation analysis functionality supporting various digital modulation
modes.
The MX283087A TRX Sweep Calibration (hereinafter, “MX283087A”) is a
software option used to measure the transmission and reception power
characteristics of wireless transceivers at high speed.
Chapter 3 describes how to perform major measurements with the
MX283087A by using remote commands.
The MX283087A supports the following measurements.
•TRX Sweep Measurement
•RX Sweep Measurement

1.3 Product Specifications
Table 1.3-1 lists the specifications for the MX283087A.
Table 1.3-1 Product specifications
Item Specification
Function Performs measurement while switching both the level for each
measurement unit (segment) according to the level list and the
frequency for each measurement unit group (sequence) according
to the frequency list.
Measurement mode TRX mode:
Performs transmission measurement and reception measurement
at the same time.
RX mode:
Performs reception measurement only. In the RX mode, a trigger
signal, which consists of output On (active) and Off (inactive)
intervals, can be output before a measurement signal.

After CAL execution at 18 to 28°C, the input signal level is within
the measurement level range, and
the input level is as follows:
±0.7 dB
The transmitter power accuracy is calculated from an input
attenuator switching error, a measured linearity error, and a root
sum square (RSS) error of the absolute amplitude accuracy and
in-band frequency characteristics.
