Bursted Parameters

Bursted Parameters

Last updated: December 2, 2008

This section is not applicable to GSM.

The majority of the test set's base station emulator parameters allow you to set or query a single value which is applied to all allowed burst (or timeslot) locations. However, there are a number of parameters for GPRS and EGPRS that have a :BURSt suffix. The :BURSt suffix indicates that the parameter name refers to a set of parameters, one for each of the possible bursts. These are called bursted parameters.

Bursted parameters use the concept of an active burst. An active burst is a timeslot that is expected to contain RF power relating to a traffic channel based on the multislot configuration. Bursted parameters are activated when the burst you have set a value for becomes active.

Bursted parameters are useful when changing the multislot configuration. For example, they allow you to specify the uplink burst TX level for a burst that is not currently active.

The GPIB command for each bursted parameter lets you specify one of the allowable bursts. If you do not specify a burst number, then burst one is assumed. The burst numbers you specify are relative from the first active uplink or downlink burst.
