Key features
R&S®TSMA6B
11User Manual 4901.4026.02 ─ 02
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 TSMA6B enhances such solutions, providing the user with accurate insight
into the RF environment.
The R&S TSMA6B 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 MHz to 6000 MHz simultaneously. The future-proof architecture and the
in-field upgradability for both, hardware and software, allow up to 4x4 MIMO measure-
ments 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 8th generation Intel quad-core processing unit

3.4 Built-In GPS receiver
The integrated multi-GNSS (GPS / BeiDou / Galileo / GLONASS) receiver allows to
use three satellite systems in parallel. It 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 TSMA6B can perform dead reckoning in tunnels to provide position informa-
tion even if no satellites are available. The dead reckoning is performed by the device
with its built-in electronic gyroscopes.
For enabling untethered dead reckoning, see Chapter 6.11, "Calibrating GPS for dead
reckoning", on page 40.
Depending on the intended use, the respective valid regulations regarding lightning
protection of the antennas and regarding vehicle installation must be observed during
installation.
3.5 Built-In WLAN / Bluetooth adapter
The R&S TSMA6B has built-in WLAN/Bluetooth module (Intel® AX200).
The R&S TSMA6B WLAN / Bluetooth adapter allows the following modes.
●Client connection to a distant WLAN network
●Serving as a WLAN access point
Per default, the R&S TSMA6B WLAN access point is switched on. The login creden-
tials are found on the bottom label of the device. The WLAN / Bluetooth can be
switched off (flight mode) via rear panel switch.
Configure the WLAN and Bluetooth settings via web-GUI.

ada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation of the device is subject to the follow-
ing two conditions:
●This device may not cause harmful interference.
Cet appareil ne peut pas causer d'interférences.
●This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.
Cet appareil doit accepter des interférences, y compris des interférences qui peu-
vent causer desopérations non désirées de l'appareil.
Radio frequency interference requirements
This wireless adapter is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 GHz to
5.25 GHz frequency range. The wireless adapter requires to be used indoors for the
frequency range 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference
to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary
users of the 5.25 GHz to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 GHz to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar sta-
tions can cause interference with and /or damage this device.
Canada specific enhancement
When using IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN, this product is restricted to indoor use due to
its operation in the 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz frequency range. Industry Canada requires
this product to be used indoors for the frequency range of 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to
reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
High power radar is allocated as the primary user of the 5.25 GHz to 5.35 GHz and
5.65 GHz to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or
damage to this device.
L’utilisation d’un réseau sans fil IEEE802.11a est restreinte à une utilisation en intérieur
à cause du fonctionnement dans la bande de fréquence 5.15
GHz to 5.25 GHz. Indus-
try Canada requiert que ce produit soit utilisé à l’intérieur des bâtiments pour la bande
de fréquence 5.15 GHz - 5.25 GHz afin de réduire les possibilités d’interférences nuisi-
bles aux canaux co-existants des systèmes de transmission satellites. Les radars de
puissances ont fait l’objet d’une allocation primaire de fréquences dans les bandes
5.25
GHz-5.35 GHz et 5.65 GHz to 5.85 GHz. Ces stations radar peuvent créer des
interférences avec ce produit et/ou lui être nuisible.

Usage in specific environments
●The use of wireless adapters in hazardous locations is limited by the constraints
posed by the safety directors of such environments.
●The use of wireless adapters in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each
hospital.
Usage on aircraft
Regulations of the FCC, FAA and individual airlines prohibit airborne operation of some
radio-frequency wireless devices (wireless adapters) because their signals could inter-
fere with critical aircraft instruments.
Local restrictions on 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.16e radio usage
Due to the fact that the frequencies used by 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and
802.16e wireless LAN devices may not yet be harmonized in all countries, 802.11a,
802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, and 802.16e products are designed for use only in specific
countries, and are not allowed to be operated in countries other than those of designa-
ted use.
As a user of these products, you are responsible for ensuring that the products are
used only in the countries for which they were intended and for verifying that they are
configured with the correct selection of frequency and channel for the country of use.
The device transmit power control (TPC) interface is part of the Intel® PROSet/Wire-
less Wi-Fi Connection Utility Software. Operational restrictions for Equivalent Isotropic
Radiated Power (EIRP) are provided by the system manufacturer.
Any deviation from the permissible power and frequency settings for the country of use
is an infringement of national law and may be punished as such.
