2 Key Features
As in-building traffic in cellular networks grows, there is an increased need for indoor
measurements. While traditional drive test systems consist of a laptop with test mobile
phones and scanners, there are also walk-test solutions that use tablets and smart-
phones.
The R&S TSMA6 enhances such solutions, providing the user with accurate insight
into the RF environment.
The R&S TSMA6 combines the technology of the R&S TSME6 ultra-compact drive test
scanner with a high-performance Intel processor. The scanner can run PC-based drive
test software, and smartphones can be connected via USB.
With its ultra-broadband front end, the integrated scanner measures all supported tech-
nologies 350 to 6000 MHz simultaneously. The future-proof architecture and the in-field
upgradability for both, hardware and software, allow up to 4x4 MIMO measurements
and pave the way for the upcoming 5G technology.
Key Features
●No limitation in 3GPP (LTE, WCDMA, GSM, NB-IoT…) frequency bands up to 6
GHz incl. a Multi-GNSS receiver for uninterrupted location tracking
●More than 10 technologies simultaneously in one system
●Future-proof for upcoming 5G related measurements
●Compact and lightweight design with customized mechanical concept for cascad-
ing multiple scanner hardware
●Maximum connectivity supporting additional scanner hardware, Windows-based
PC, Android-based UEs or tablets using wireless and wired connections
●Integrated high-performance Intel i7 CPU-based PC

SCAN (LAN Connector (Gbit))
The LAN connector provides a high-speed 1 Gbit Ethernet interface with an RJ 45 con-
nector. It is used to connect the R&S TSMA6 to a separate R&S TSME6 as a second
scanner. It can be used for MIMO scenarios and for increasing bandwidth and mea-
surement rate.
AUX Connector
The AUX connector has two functions.
●IN/OUT synchronization with up to 4 connected R&S TSME6 (requires sync cable
R&S TSME6-ZC2, R&S no. 4900.1800.02 or R&S TSME6-ZC4, R&S no.
4900.1817.02)
●Synchronization of R&S TSMA6 with an external 10 MHz reference (requires dedi-
cated sync cable)
GPS Ant.
An SMA connector is provided for the supplied external active GPS antenna (Antenna
power: 3 V, max. 25 mA).
The integrated multi-GNSS (GPS / BeiDou / Galileo / GLONASS) receiver allows to
use three satellite systems in parallel. This offers an accuracy improvement of 30 % to
50 % by using a second constellation of satellites.
Following combinations are allowed:
●GPS only
●GPS / GLONASS / Galileo
●GPS / BeiDou
The R&S TSMA6 can perform dead reckoning in tunnels to provide position informa-
tion even if no satellites are available. The dead reckoning is performed in the device
itself by built-in electronic gyroscopes.
For enabling untethered dead reckoning, see Chapter 5.8, "Enabling Untethered Dead
Reckoning ", on page 31.
Depending on the intended use, the respective valid regulations regarding lightning
protection of the antennas and regarding vehicle installation must be observed during
installation.

4.2 Band Options
The R&S TSMA6 hardware simultaneously measures in all wireless communications
bands from 350 MHz to 6 GHz. Using band licenses, more cost-efficient configurations
are available for applications where only a limited number of bands need to be mea-
sured simultaneously. These configurations limit the number of bands that can be mea-
sured in parallel. You can reconfigure the bands for each measurement as desired.
Upgrade options are available to increase the bandwidth of the R&S TSMA6 from a
limited number of bands to full bandwidth.
Following band options are available:

R&S TSMA6-K5B 4901.0650.02 5 bands measured simultaneously
R&S TSMA6-KUB 4901.0950.02 Upgrade: 1 additional band measured simultaneously
4.3 R&S NESTOR Options
The R&S NESTOR options are preinstalled on the R&S TSMA6, if the R&S NESTOR
application is ordered within the TSMA6 KMAT.
A later installation of additional R&S NESTOR options can be done via the
R&S TSMA6 web GUI (see "Install NESTOR Options" on page 131) or via the License
Key Manager. In this case, you have to order option-specific NESTOR license keys.
Therefore, the serial number of R&S NESTOR, which available on the product label, is
required.
4.4 R&S ROMES Options
A later enhancement of the R&S TSMA6 with the R&S ROMES application requires a
USB license dongle including the ROMES options.
R&S ROMES licenses are shipped with a USB dongle. Accompanied with the dongle,
there is a license key file matching with the dongle.
This license key file has to be copied as a post process after software installation (see
"Install ROMES Option" on page 131).
