How to Run WCDMA BER/ BLER Tests Using R&S Vector Signal Generators

This application note shows how to run 3GPP WCDMA BER and BLER tests according to standard TS 25.141 with the Vector Signal Generators R&S^®SMBV100A, R&S^®SMJ100A, or R&S^®SMU200A. The description of hardware test setup is followed by detailed instructions on how to configure the R&S^® generators and how to run a BER or BLER test step by step. Remote control commands for the generators are included, to simplify integrating the BER/BLER tests into your proprietary test suite.
