Channel (UARFCN) Information

Last updated: October 19, 2012

The Channel (UARFCN) Information screen is a tool to help you identify what channels the test set is currently using (generating in the downlink or tuned to in the uplink), and in what band it is currently operating. It also provides a quick summary of how you've configured the Physical Channel Reconfiguration , Transport Channel Reconfiguration and Radio Bearer Reconfiguration handover channel settings.

• Current Info, DL: Channel and Frequency
  • DL: Channel simply reflects the current DL Channel setting. It is shown for your convenience.
  • DL: Frequency reflects the downlink frequency that corresponds with the downlink channel setting.
• Current Info, UL: Channel and Frequency

  • UL: Channel indicates the uplink channel that the test set is currently tuned to receive. If Uplink Channel is set to Auto , then this value is determined by the DL Channel setting (when Uplink Channel is set to Auto , the uplink UARFCN is automatically determined by the DL Channel setting - the test set subtracts the frequency separation associated with the DL Channel 's band from the DL Channel setting). Otherwise, this value is determined by the Uplink Channel setting.

    GPIB command: CALL:STATus:UPLink:CHANnel? .

  • UL: Frequency reflects the uplink frequency that corresponds with the uplink channel.
• Current Info, DL/UL Frequency Separation

  Current Info, DL/UL Frequency Separation indicates what the current frequency separation is between the uplink and downlink channels. If Uplink Channel is set to Auto , this value is determined by the DL Channel setting (when Uplink Channel is set to Auto , the uplink UARFCN is automatically determined by the DL Channel setting - the test set subtracts the frequency separation associated with the DL Channel 's band from the DL Channel setting). Otherwise, this value is determined by the DL Channel and Uplink Channel settings. If you've chosen a combination of DL Channel and Uplink Channel that results in a separation other than those defined by 3GPP TS 25.101, Non Std is displayed.
