1.2 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 TSMA enhances such solutions, providing the user with accurate insight into
the RF environment.
The R&S TSMA combines the technology of the R&S TSME 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. The scanner measures up
to eight technologies simultaneously in the 350 MHz to 4400 MHz wireless communi-
cations bands. It can be combined with an R&S TSME to perform LTE MIMO measure-
ments.
●User-definable input frequency range from 350 MHz to 4400 MHz
●RF and signal processing path with a bandwidth of 20 MHz
●Parallel measurement of all technologies in all bands (up to eight technologies
simultaneously)
●Integrated Intel PC with Microsoft® Windows operating system which allows to
install any drive test software supporting the R&S TSMA (e.g R&S ROMES)
●Open remote ViCom interface in order to integrate into Windows and Android-
based software tools.
●Automatic detection of active channels in a specified band (Automatic Channel
Detection (ViCom only), R&S TSMA-K40, Order No. 1524.6339.02 or R&S
ROMES4ACD )
●Analysis of the DL allocations of the strongest eNodeBs during measurement (LTE
Downlink Allocation Analyzer, R&S TSMA-K31, Order No. 1524.6322.02)

LAN
The LAN connector provides a high-speed 100 Mbit Ethernet interface with an RJ 45
connector using IPv4. It is used to connect the R&S TSMA to a host PC in a local net-
work.
The LAN interface can be used for Remote Control / Remote Desktop Connections. In
this case, the device must not be in the "Scanner Only" mode.
Alternatively, it can also be used for distributed versions of R&S ROMES and R&S
NESTOR.
The LEDs on the LAN connector indicate the status of the connection to the host PC.
LED 1 (yellow, link status) is on the left side of the connector, LED 2 (green, activity
status) is on the right.
DC IN Connector
The DC IN connector is used to supply the R&S TSMA with DC power. A wide DC
input range 10 to 18 V / max. 4 A is supported.
Use only cable type with R&S No. 1523.7948.00 (included in delivery package).
RF IN Connector
The RF IN connector is the RF input of the R&S TSMA. The multi-band RF paddle
antenna (700 MHz to 2.6 GHz), which is included in the shipment of R&S TSMA or any
customer side RF source is connected to this SMA connector. The maximum input
power is +20 dBm/10 V DC.
For the multi-band RF paddle antenna (700 MHz to 2.6 GHz), no adapter is required.

Risk of instrument damage
Do not overload the maximum allowed input of 20 dBm.
Non-compliance destroys the input mixer.
GPS ANT
This SMA port is used for the GPS antenna input. It is an active antenna port with out-
put voltage 3 V / max. 35 mA.
The accessory GPS antenna is connected to this input.
Antenna Connector 1 BT
The port with the label "1 BT" is a combined Bluetooth / WLAN antenna port. Connect
the accessory WLAN / Bluetooth stub antenna to this SMA connector.
Antenna Connector 2 WLAN
The port with the label "2 " is the WLAN antenna port. Connect one of the accessory
WLAN / Bluetooth antennas to this SMA connector.
RESTORE
With the RESTORE button, it is possible to bring the R&S TSMA back to factory
default.
Loss of user data after RESTORE
Executing restore brings the R&S TSMA irreversible back to the condition of delivery or
any other later stored backup version.
All user data since last restore is lost.

This description of the STATE LED is based on the initial firmware. If the R&S TSMA is
working in a specific mode, e.g. ROMES, NESTOR, ViCom or QualiPoc, the STATE
LED may be used for these applications.
