62.0.6 Setup of NR Signal Scan

Technology

Always "NR".

Band

Select the NR frequency band to scan.
GSCN/NR-ARFCN/Frequency

Select one of the following to scan within the selected NR band:

  • Global Synchronization Raster Channel, GSCN
  • 5G Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number, NR-ARFCN
  • Frequency

62.0.6.1. PCTEL settings

Number of SS Bursts

Number of SS Bursts.
Must be in the range 0 …16.
SSB Repetition Period

The repetition period of Synchronization Signal Block (SSB).

The SSB repetition period can be AutoDetect, 5 ms, 10 ms, 20 ms or 40 ms.

Mobility Mode

The following modes are available:

  • High Speed Train
  • Driving
  • Pedestrian
Sub Carrier Spacing

The following SCS are available:

  • 15 KHz
  • 30 KHz
  • 120 KHz Dual RF Port
  • 240 KHz Dual RF Port
  • 120 KHz Single RF Port
  • 240 KHz Single RF Port

The settings below affects the following Information Elements:

  • Sc 1st-12nd PSS RP(dBm)

  • Sc 1st-12nd SSS RP(dBm)

  • Sc 1st-12nd DMRS-PBCH RP(dBm)

  • Sc SSB RSSI(dBm).

If the scanner reports Sc PSS RP: -50 dBm, Antenna Gain: 2 dB, Cable Loss: 1dB, the reported Sc PSS RP value would be adjusted to: -50 + 2 + (-1) = -49dBm.

The default value for the antenna gain and cable loss is 0 dB.
Antenna Gain (dB)

Antenna Gain in dB.
Cable Loss (dB)

Cable Loss in dB.

62.0.6.2. Rohde & Schwarz settings

SSB Periodicity Mask

Periodicity of the half frames for reception of SS/PBCH blocks.

SSB Pattern

Definition of Synchronisation Signal (SS)/ Primary Broadcast Channel (PBCH) pattern types:

The following modes are available:

  • Case A
  • Case B
  • Case C
  • Case D
  • Case E
SSB Mapping

SSB Mapping Type

The following types are available:

  • Below 3GHz
  • Above 3GHz
Measurement Rate per second

Measurement rate per second.
Synchronized Network

Synchronized Network.

Set to true if it's assumed that the network is transmitting sycnhronized 10ms long 5G NR frames.
PSS/SSS 0 dB Power Ratio

PSS/SSS 0 dB Power Ratio.

Set to true if it's assumed that REs of PSS and SSS have equal power.
PSS/SSS +3 dB Power Ratio

PSS/SSS +3dB Power Ratio.

Set to true if it's assumed that REs of PSS are +3dB boosted to SSS.
Delay Spread (ns)

The maximum expected delay spread (time difference of arrival) between the signal received from different RF paths. Typical 3 µs for outdoor environments and 0.5 µs for indoor environments.
Speed (km/h)

The maximum speed (velocity) of the measurement platform in km/h. Typical 100 km/h for outdoor environments and 5 km/h for indoor environments.
