SETup:PFERror:TBDemod

Function

GSM TA

This command sets/queries the Tail Bit Demodulation parameter. This parameter determines how the measurement performs demodulation of the tail bits.

  • OPTimal

    The guard bits are adjusted to values that minimize the phase error on the tail bits.

  • SIMPle

    The guard bits are demodulated as they are received. The values are not adjusted.

  • ETSI

    The tail bits are forced to be ETSI compliant. That is, all the tail bits are set to zero, rather than using the demodulated values.
