DPDCH Configuration Summary Table

This section defines the Settings Current and Apply Needed buttons. Only one button is available at any time. These buttons are available in all of the W-CDMA/HSPA+ Uplink's tree nodes.

This button indicates that the current real-time settings have been applied to the instrument. No action is required.

This button indicates that the instrument settings are not current and need to be updated to be applied to the instrument. Click this button to update the instrument's settings.

1. DPDCH

State

Choice: Off | On

Default: On

Enables or disables the DPDCH state.

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh[:STATe] ON|OFF|1|0

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh[:STATe]?

Power

Range: –40 to 0 dB

Default: 0 dB

Enter the DPDCH power level in dB.

If the parameter set by the following command is changed while the signal is active, the :ULINk:APPLy command, Apply Needed () button must be executed for the change to occur.

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh:POWer <val>

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh:POWer?

Channel Code

Range: 0 to 255

Default: 16

Sets the channel code of DPDCH. This field is enabled when only the DPCCh and/or DPDCH states are set to On. Indicates the calculated channel code of DPDCH when other channel states are set to On.

If the parameter set by the following command is changed while the signal is active, the :ULINk:APPLy command, Apply Needed () button must be executed for the change to occur.

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh:CCODe <val>

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh:CCODe?

Slot Format

Range: 0 to 6

Default: 2

Sets the slot format of DPDCH. This value is coupled to Symbol Rate.

If the parameter set by the following command is changed while the signal is active, the :ULINk:APPLy command, Apply Needed () button must be executed for the change to occur.

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh:SLOTformat <val>

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh:SLOTformat?

Symbol Rate

Selection: 15 ksps | 30 ksps | 60 ksps | 120 ksps | 240 ksps | 480 ksps | 960 ksps

Default: 60 ksps

Sets the Symbol Rate (symbol per second: sps) for DPDCH. This value is coupled to Slot Format.

If the parameter set by the following command is changed while the signal is active, the :ULINk:APPLy command, Apply Needed () button must be executed for the change to occur.

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh:RATE <val>

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh:RATE?

Spreading Factor

Indicates the Spreading Factor for DPDCH. This parameter is not editable.

Nmax-dpdch

Choice: 0 | 1

Default: 1

Sets the maximum number of DPDCH (Nmax-dpdch) to control channel assignment.

This field is available when the DPDCH State is Off. When DPDCH State is On, this field is always 1.

If the parameter set by the following command is changed while the signal is active, the :ULINk:APPLy command, Apply Needed () button must be executed for the change to occur.

2. DPDCH Data

Data

Choice: PN9 | PN15 | FIX4 | DCH|Custom Pattern| User File

Default: DCH

Edit the Data for the dedicated physical data channel (DPDCH) by clicking on the cell. Then click on the dialog box icon to launch the ClosedData dialog box.

When loading a user file through the software's Data dialog box, the MXG/EXG requires an ASCII text file consisting of 1s and 0s. When using SCPI commands, all instruments require a binary data file.

If the parameter set by the following command is changed while the signal is active, the :ULINk:APPLy command, Apply Needed () button must be executed for the change to occur.

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh:DATA?

If you select <"filename">, PATTern or FIX4, use the following commands to create the pattern:

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh:DATA:PATTern?

Number of DCH

Range: 1 to 6

Default: 2

Sets the number of DCH for DPDCH coding source.

If the parameter set by the following command is changed while the signal is active, the :ULINk:APPLy command, Apply Needed () button must be executed for the change to occur.

If you are using DCH, the following command enables or disables each DCHn. There is no SCPI command for directly choosing the Number of DCH.

3. Transport Channel BER

Transport Channel BER

Range: 0.000000 to 1.000000

Default: 0.000000

Shows the value of the DPDCh Transport channel BER. This value is calculated by the DPDCH Transport channel BER cycle length and error insertion length.

Transport Channel BER Cycle Length

Range: 0 to 65535

Default: 0

Sets the cycle length of the DPDCh Transport channel BER.

[:SOURce]:RADio:WCDMa:TGPP[:BBG]:ULINk:DPDCh:TBER[:CLENgth] <val>
