Occupied Bandwidth
A common measurement performed on radio transmitters is that of occupied bandwidth
(OBW). This measurement calculates the bandwidth containing the total integrated power
occupied in a given signal bandwidth. There are two different methods of calculation de-
pending on the technique to modulate the carrier.
Percent of Power Method
The occupied frequency bandwidth is calculated as the bandwidth containing the specified
percentage of the transmitted power.
XdB Down Method
The occupied frequency bandwidth is defined as the bandwidth between the upper and
lower frequency points at which the signal level is
XdB below the peak carrier level.
Required Equipment
r
Site Master S114C/S332C
r
30 dB, 50 watt, Bi-Directional, DC – 18 GHz, N(m) – N(f), Attenuator,
Anritsu 42N50A-30
r
Test Port extension cable, Anritsu 15NNF50 – 1.5C
Procedure
Step 1. Reset the Site Master to the factory default settings if a known starting state is
desired.
If the unit is off, hold down the ESC/CLEAR key while pressing the ON/OFF
key.
If the unit is already on, press the RECALL SETUP key on the data keypad.
When the key is pressed, a Recall Trace selection box appears on the display.
Select setup location 0 to recall the factory preset state.
Step 2. Using the test port extension cable and 30 dB, 50 watt, Bi-directional attenuator,
connect the Site Master to appropriate transmit test port.
Step 3.
If the Site Master is not currently in Spectrum Analyzer mode, press the MODE
key, scroll to
SPECTRUM ANALYZER mode, and press ENTER.
Step 4.
Press the FREQ/DIST key, select the
CENTER soft key and enter the center fre-
quency of the measurement using the keypad. Select the
GHz, MHz, kHz,orHz
softkey to accept the center frequency input.
Step 5.
Press the AMPLITUDE key and select the
REF LEVEL soft key to set the appro-
priate reference level. See the table below for recommended settings for CW and
CDMA signals.
Step 6. Select the
ATTEN soft key to set the input attenuation level. See the table below
for recommended settings for CW and CDMA signals.
Step 7.
Press the SWEEP key and select the
RBW and VBW soft keys to set the resolu-
tion bandwidth and video bandwidth. See the table below for recommended set
-
tings for CW and CDMA signals.
