The Channel Power measures in-channel power for GSM/GPRS and EDGE systems. GSM/GPRS
and EDGE systems use dynamic power control to ensure that each link is maintained with minimum
power. It gives two fundamental benefits of keeping overall system interference to a minimum level
and of maximizing battery life in the case of mobile stations. The Channel Power measurement
determines the average power of an RF signal burst at or above a specified threshold value. The
threshold value may be absolute or relative to the peak value of the signal.
The purpose of the Channel Power measurement is to determine the power delivered to the antenna
system on the RF channel under test. The instrument acquires a GSM/GPRS or EDGE signal in the
time domain. The average power level above the threshold is then computed and displayed.
