Chip Rate (W-CDMA(3GPP)/HSPA)

Default: 3.84 MHz Megahertz: A unit of frequency equal to one million hertz or cycles per second. (See W-CDMA(3GPP) Standard Setups/Presets Table.)

Range:: minimum span to (10 * maximum span)

Chip Rate sets the Chip Rate for the VSA's demodulator. This allows the freedom to enter nonstandard chip rates for test and analysis purposes.

To demodulate a signal, the Chip Rate must match the chip rate of your system.

The Chip Rate determines the symbol rate for each Spread Code Length per the following equation (see Chip Rate, Symbol Rate and Spread Code Table):

Symbol Rate = Chip Rate/(Spread Code Length)

The Chip Rate also limits the Resolution Bandwidth.
