Available Error Summary Data (LTE-Advanced)
contains information about the quality of the signal being analyzed (in the Measurement Interval). Below is a list of available data results. Click the name of a data result for more information.
Only and are calculated from the channels that are selected for analysis in the Composite Include list on the Profile tab. The other data results are not dependent on which channels are selected for analysis.
- 3GPP-defined QPSK EVM - RMS average EVM Error vector magnitude (EVM): A quality metric in digital communication systems. See the EVM metric in the Error Summary Table topic in each demodulator for more information on how EVM is calculated for that modulation format. of PDSCH Physical Downlink Shared Channel QPSK Quadrature phase shift keying allocations, calculated according to the standard
- 3GPP-defined 16QAM EVM - RMS average EVM of PDSCH 16QAM allocations, calculated according to the standard
- 3GPP-defined 64QAM EVM - RMS average EVM of PDSCH 64QAM allocations, calculated according to the standard
- Cell ID - The physical-layer Cell ID of the signal
- Cell ID Group/Sector - The signal's Cell ID group and Cell ID sector, determined by physical-layer Cell ID
- Channel Power - average power of the component carrier
- Common Tracking Error - RMS average of the correction applied to each symbol by EVM Minimization
- CP Length Mode - Current CP 1) Contention period, or 2) Cyclic prefix Length: normal or extended (useful when CP Length is set to in demod properties)
- Data EVM - RMS Error Vector Magnitude of the user channels (PDSCH for downlink or PUSCH Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUCCH Physical Uplink Control Channel, and SRS Signaling Reference Signal for uplink)

- IQ Quad. Error - Amount of angle skew between I and Q
- IQ Timing Skew -Time difference between the I and Q parts of the signal
- OFDM Sym. Tx. Power - Average power (dBm deciBels referenced to a milliWatt: dB relative to 1 milliwatt dissipated in the nominal input impedance of the analyzer) for OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing: OFDM employs multiple overlapping radio frequency carriers, each operating at a carefully chosen frequency that is Orthogonal to the others, to produce a transmission scheme that supports higher bit rates due to parallel channel operation. OFDM is an alternative tranmission scheme to DSSS and FHSS. data subcarriers, can be used to calculate OSTP as defined in Section F.3.3 of 3GPP TS Technical Specification 36.141
