Application Note: Troubleshooting Base Station And User Equipment Interactions In W-CDMA Networks

The increased capacity and performance of 3rd generation telecommunication systems has spawned a growing array of mobile user equipment (UE) for voice, data and multimedia traffic. The dependable interaction of UE/BTS equipment is a prerequisite for customer satisfaction and efficient mobile network system operation, so verification of performance is important. This application note describes 3GPP uplink and downlink signals on the W-CDMA radio interface and demonstrates how Tektronix Wireless Communication Analyzer provide clear and comprehensive insight into these complex systems in multiple domains simultaneously.
