Test System Architecture and Test Methods for Design Verification and Type Approval of PCN Mobile Phones and Base Stations

摘要

The GSM mobile radio network is to be complemented by other digital networks which can handle a greater number of subscribers while providing better service.With standardization work for the GSM-based system DCS 1800 or PCN completed,base stations and mobile telephones are launched on the market.This paper presents the system architecture and applications of the PCN-Simulator and PCN-Base Station Tester newly developed.The PCN-Simulator simulates a PCN network with four resp.six base stations and performs all measurements needed for thorough function checks on mobiles.The measurements fully meet the comprehensive GSM11.10-DCS ETSI Technical Specification.The PCN-Base Station Tester complies to the GSM 11.20-DCS ETSI Specification.
