Power Per carrier - RF Cafe Forums
Because of the high maintenance needed to monitor and filter spammers from the RF Cafe Forums, I decided that it would be best to just archive the pages to make all the good information posted in the past available for review. It is unfortunate that the scumbags of the world ruin an otherwise useful venue for people wanting to exchanged useful ideas and views. It seems that the more formal social media like Facebook pretty much dominate this kind of venue anymore anyway, so if you would like to post something on RF Cafe's Facebook page, please do.

Below are all of the forum threads, including all the responses to the original posts.

Does any one know how to calculate power per carier for say an antenna that has multiple carriers including GSM, CDMA. The maximum composite power for the Downlink is given.?

Thankyou

Daver Malik

IMHO, some of HP spectrum analyzer has a capabilty to measure a "relative power" per the mask size of BW you tune.
For example, to measure a "relative" composite power, you have to know the bw. Let's say 200Mhz and SA measured as 20dBm while the actual know power is -40dBm. And now you tune center freq to the carrier you want measure and tune the mask BW equal to the carrier BW. and let's say it is 5dBm. Then the difference is 15dB=20-5 so that the carrier power is -55dBm = -40dBm -15...

At least, this worked for me to measure power of carrier recived from satellite.

Hi Daver,

Who is the vendor? Lucent/Nortel/Nokia/Ericsson ?? There are pegs in the system which will give you either Peak Power usage/carrier or Avg. power usage per carrier - these pegs are on a sector/carrier level...so you would have power/carrier/sector.

hope that helps! Let me know what technology and the vendor, I may be able to give you the exact peg.

Cheers! 8)
