GenComm GC7105A Base Station Analyzer
The GC7105A is a Base Station Analyzer for installation and maintenance of modern wireless communication systems. It combines the functionality of spectrum analysis, cable and antenna analysis, power meter, and modulation analysis, including:
- CDMA2000, EVDO
- GSM, GPRS, EDGE
- WCDMA, HSDPA
The GC7105A has been designed with a wide bandwidth analysis capability, ensuring the compatibility with future wideband technologies such as Fixed WiMAX and Mobile WiMAX.
The GC7105A is the perfect field testing solution that combines portability, due to its lightweight design and battery extended operation, and performance, with its multifunction capability and high resolution display.
In addition, the GC7105A provides an Auto-Measurement test capability which dramatically increases userﾒs productivity.
The GC7105 is the optimal solution for installation and maintenance of wireless communications systems.
Spectrum Analyzer
The Base Station Analyzer has a general purposed spectrum analyzer which is the most flexible test tool for RF analysis. Beyond this basic spectrum analysis functionality, a built in RF measurement application provides a single button RF power measurements including:
- Channel Power
- Adjacent Channel Power
- Spectrum Emission Mask
- Occupied Bandwidth
Interference Analyzer
The Base Station Analyzer has an interference analyzer which is the most effective way to identify periodic or intermittent interference. A spectrogram display allows the user to capture spectrum activity while displaying frequency, power and time information.
The signal tracking capability is particularly useful for observing signal strength at a single frequency over time with an audible indication.
Transmitter Analyzer
The modulation measurement suite of the Base Station Analyzer provides not only RF parametric analysis but also modulation parametric analysis for modern wireless communication systems. Built-in wireless standard test procedures allow users to test each of the following items with a single button action.
- CDMA2000 / EVDO Analyzer
- CDMA Channel Power
- CDMA Adjacent Channel Power
- CDMA Spectrum Emission Mask
- CDMA Occupied Bandwidth
- CDMA Code Domain Power
- Frequency Error
- Time Offset
- Waveform Quality
- PN Search
- WCDMA / HSDPA Analyzer
- WCDMA Channel Power
- Adjacent Channel Leakage Power Ratio (ACLR)
- WCDMA Spurious Emission Mask
- WCDMA Occupied Bandwidth
- WCDMA Code Domain Power
- Error Vector Magnitude (EVM)
- Peak Code Domain Error (PCDE)
- Auto Scramble Search
Cable and Antenna Analyzer
The Base Station Analyzer can perform also the function of an antenna and cable analyzer that measures cable loss, distance to fault (DTF) and voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).
The antenna and cable analysis functionality can characterize active and passive devices such as cables, filters, amplifiers, antennas and multiplexers.
In one port measurement, users can measure feed-line cable loss, DTF location, and Antenna VSWR. And with two ports measurements users can perform gain measurements, insertion loss, and isolation; particularly useful for filters, amplifiers, Tower Mounted Amplifiers (TMA), RF path gain, and antenna isolation.
Power Meter
The Base Station Analyzer can perform two power testing methodologies:
- Internal, for standard power measurements without the assistance of external power sensors.
- External, for high accuracy power measurements with the assistance of external power sensors.
The internal power meter, with no additional power sensors, uses the spectrum analyzer functionality. It is a simple test methodology with reasonable accuracy. On the other hand, external power sensors perform power measurements more accurately.
The Base Station Analyzer can be equipped with a Directional Power Sensor (through-line) which has the advantage to minimize service disruption and covers an ultra-wide power range.
- Power displays in either dBm or Watts
- Upper/Lower limit available with Pass/Fail indication
E1/T1 Analyzer
The Base Station Analyzer also provides a testing solution for E1/T1 transmission lines. Various test modes are available including:
- Mode: Terminated, Monitor, Bridge, Loop
- Frame: PCM30, PCM31, Unframed
- Code: AMI, HDB3, B8ZS
- TX Pattern: 1-8, 1-16, ALL0, ALL1, 0101, 2E20
- E1/T1 Pulse Mask
- Alarm, Error Count and Logging
Auto-Measure
Cell sites may present irregular malfunctions which are difficult to isolate. In such cases, the Base Station Analyzer monitors the cell site for a long period of time in order to capture enough measurement data to detect the exact symptoms and isolate the problem.
The Auto-Measure functionality provides an easy setup for testing, including the programming of measurement schedules such as starting time, duration, intervals, and measurement parameters.
Based on user definable conditions, the Base Station Analyzer performs the tests and automatically stores the results.
Features:
- Multi-function Integration
- The GC7105A has integrated all the necessary functions to test and measure modern wireless communication systems. Its combined functionality includes spectrum analysis, cable and antenna analysis, power meter, channel scanner, E1/T1 analysis and modulation analysis for CDMA2000, EVDO, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA, and HSDPA.
- Easy-to-use User Interface
- A common interface through its multiple functions provides the same menu structure that is easy to learn and use. It allows a quick configuration set for complicated radio systems, making a single button action to properly configure the instrument.
- Auto-Measurement and Error Logging
- The Auto-Measurement function is used to test mobile systems and store the results to either internal or external memory under specified measurement conditions and schedules through user defined scenario. This functionality is particularly important for effective tracking, monitoring and isolating intermittent problems.
- Compact and Lightweight Design
- The GC7105A is a compact and portable solution for users to perform outdoor maintenance jobs. The built-in high capacity Li-ion battery allows jobs at remote sites without being restricted by power cord.
- Easy to Upgrade
- The GC7105A was designed to support all features upgrades, either hardware or firmware, to be implemented in the instrumentﾒs framework, providing convenience, and reliability. This architecture has the unique benefits of configuring the Base Station Analyzer for todayﾒs needs and an easy upgrade path for future requirements.
