Can I measure EVM of W-CDMA signals on the PSA with option 241?
If the measured signal is just 1 DPCH in QPSK modulation based on W-CDMA configuration like 3.84 MHz symbol rate with RRC filter, you can find the simple QPSK EVM results with PSA option 241. However, you cannot measure EVM for a W-CDMA Downlink Test Model 1 signal with 16 DPCH because this signal contains multiple code channels. Please remember that PSA option 241 only demodulates the single code system in single carrier. For multiple code channels modulation quality analysis, you should use other personalities like W-CDMA measurement personality (Opt. BAF) or cdma2000 measurement personality (Opt. B78) for composite EVM (rho) and code domain analysis.
