Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary study of the measurements of W-CDMA signal from mobile phone base station. The measurements are carried out inside an anechoic chamber. We employed a base station simulator and the frequency selective method using Narda Probe. We investigated the effect of the spectrum analyzer settings on the measurements of the electric field strength for different resolution bands widths (RBWs), i.e., 50, 500, and 5000 kHz. The difference of the measured electric fields between these RBWs was less than 1.6 dB.
