The power was measured using the Average Power measurement of the CMU200. Refer to Test Setup 1. 6.1.1 WCDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA Max Power setup Configure the call box to support all WCDMA tests in respect to the 3GPP 34.121 (listed in Table 4.2). Measure the power at Ch4132, 4182 and 4233 for US cell; Ch9262, 9400 and 9538 for US PCS band. For Rel99 per 3GPP 35.121 5.2  Set a Test Mode 1 loop back with a 12.2kbps Reference Measurement Channel (RMC)  Set and send continuously Up power control commands to the EM7355 module.  Measure the power at the EM7355 module antenna connector using the power meter with average detector For HSDPA Rel 7 3 per GPP 35.121 5.2AA  Establish a Test Mode 1 look back with both 1 12.2kbps RMC channel and an H-Set1 Fixed Reference Channel (FRC).

With the CMU200 this is accomplished by setting the signal Channel Coding to “E-DCH Test Channel” and configuring the equipment category to Cat5_10ms.  Set the Absolute Grant for HSUPA Subtest1 according to Table 4.2  Set the EM7355 module power to be at least 5dB lower than the Maximum output power  Send power control bits to give one TPC_cmd = +1 command to the UNDP. If UNDP doesn‟t send any E-DPCH data with decreased E-TFCI within 500ms, then repeat this process until the decreased E-TFCI is reported.  Confirm that the E-TFCI transmitted by the EM7355 module is equal to the target E- TFCI in Table 4.2. If the E-TFCI transmitted by the EM7355 module is not equal to the target E-TFCI, then send power control bits to give one TPC_cmd = -1 command to the UE. If UE sends any E-DPCH data with decreased E-TFCI within 500 ms, send new power control bits to give one TPC_cmd = -1 command to the UE. Then confirm that the E-TFCI transmitted by the UE is equal to the target E-TFCI in Table 4.2. If the E-TFCI transmitted by the UE is not equal to the target E-TFCI, then fail the UE  Measure the power using the power meter with an average detector  Repeat the measurement for the HSUPA Subtest2, 3 and 4 as given in Table 4.2  Test case 5 is tested using all up bits for maximum output power per 3GPP 34.521.  2010 Sierra Wireless, Inc.

The temperature was set to -30C and maintained to stabilize. After sufficient soak time, the transmitting frequency error was measured. The temperature was then increased by 10 degrees, maintained to stabilize, and the measurement was repeated. This procedure was repeated until +50C is reached. Frequency metering included internal averaging of the CMU200 to stabilize the reading. Reference power supply voltage for these tests is 3.7 volts.

It meets the frequency stability limit of less than 2.5ppm when supply voltage varies within the specified limits. Operation above or below these voltage limits is prohibited by firmware in order to prevent improper operation. 11.2 Test Procedure The EUT was connected to a DC Power Supply and a UMTS test set (CMU 200) with frequency error measurement capability. The power supply output was adjusted to the test voltage as measured at the input terminals to the device while transmitting. A voltmeter was used to confirm the terminal voltage. The peak frequency error is recorded (worst case). The test voltages are 3.0 volts to 4.2 volts. Refer to Test Setup 2.  2010 Sierra Wireless, Inc.
