8 1.1 Purpose Section 1 Introduction The purpose of this Test Plan is to define the CTIA AMPS Certification Program test requirements for evaluating 800 MHz AMPS Mobile Stations. Testing is in accordance with the requirements of the TIA/EIA-690 (November 2000) Standard. This Test Plan is part of a CTIA Certification Program as described in a separate document entitled CTIA Certification Program Management Document. This document contains criteria, in addition to laboratory conformance tests, that must be met for CTIA certification. 1.2 Scope This Test Plan defines a portion of the requirements that a laboratory must satisfy to qualify for and maintain CTIA Authorized Testing Laboratory (CATL) status (contact the CTIA Certification Program staff for complete CATL requirements). This Test Plan defines general requirements for equipment configurations, laboratory techniques, test methodologies, and evaluation criteria that must be met in order to ensure the accurate, repeatable, and uniform testing of AMPS Mobile Stations to ensure that they meet industry and CTIA standards. This Test Plan does not provide specific test equipment configurations or detailed test procedures by which to execute Certification testing except where there is a deviation from the published standard. Such documents and procedures must be presented by the CATL as part of the CATL authorization process and subsequently maintained and employed by the CATL to remain authorized to conduct Certification testing. This Test Plan does not include the test requirements or test methodologies for other mobile station standards or technologies (e.g., CDMA, GSM, TDMA). Aspects of multiple CTIA Certification Test Plans are merged in those cases where a product supports a blend of multiple technologies. 1.3 Applicable Documents The following documents are applicable to this Test Plan: Recommended Minimum Performance Standards of 800 MHz Cellular Subscriber Units.

13 2.1 Introduction Section 2 The Automatic Baseline This section describes the tests that are automatically performed by software provided by the test equipment manufacturers. In an effort to efficiently evaluate a mobile station s performance, in conjunction with the need to use the test equipment manufacturers test software, the EUT will be tested in the normal conversational mode. Thus, tests defined within this section will be performed in accordance with the intent of the standard. A cellular base station emulator capable of performing the following tests from TIA/EIA- 690 shall be used. The tests shall normally be conducted using software provided by the test equipment manufacturer. These tests are performed, generally, with minimal operator intervention. Current firmware and software revisions shall be noted in the final report. This series of tests is used for two purposes. Firstly, these tests are used to judge the performance of the EUT in specific areas. Secondly, these tests are used to track a generic performance criterion as the EUT is exposed to various environmental stresses. 2.2 Test Overview Tests included in this section are contained in Table 2-1.

14 2.3 Test Procedure Certification Program Test Plan Tests are performed by connecting the EUT to the base station emulator via the TIU supplied by the manufacturer. Automatic tests are performed with the EUT on channel 384, 991 and 799. The automatic baseline is performed at nominal temperature and voltage. Section of TIA/EIA-690 shall only be tested from 300 Hz to 3000 Hz. The maximum step size shall be 500 Hz. Section of TIA/EIA-690 shall be tested from -19 db to 10.6 db relative to 2.9 khz peak frequency deviation. The step size shall not be greater than 5 db. The attack and recovery times shall not be tested. Section of TIA/EIA-690 shall be tested only on the channels previously defined. Section of TIA/EIA-690 shall be tested with a step size of up to 5 db. The attack and recovery times shall not be tested. Section of TIA/EIA-690 shall only be tested from 300 Hz to 3000 Hz. The maximum step size shall be 500 Hz. The phase angle in Section of TIA/EIA-690 shall not be tested. May Revision 4.2

15 3.1 Introduction Section 3 The Manual Baseline This section describes the tests that cannot be automatically performed by software provided by the test equipment manufacturers. Most tests may be performed with the EUT in the normal conversational mode. 3.2 Test Overview Table 3-1: Manual Test Overview Test Plan TIA/EIA-690 Description Subsection Subsection Audio Muting SAT Decoding / SAT Fading Adjacent and Alternate Channel Desensitization Intermodulation Spurious Response Attenuation Protection Against Spurious-Response Interference Bit Error Rate Channel Switching Time Carrier Switching Time RF Power Transition Time Carrier On State Audio Voice Path Muting Residual Amplitude Modulation (AM) RF Sensitivity on All Channels RF Power Output on All Channels 3.3 Test Procedures, Criteria and Results Reporting Muting Audio See TIA/EIA-690 Section for details of this test.

16 transmission circuit of the transmitter (see TIA/EIA-553-A) Test Procedure Certification Program Test Plan Unless otherwise noted, SAT Fading will be evaluated for this Test Plan section. Testing will be in accordance with TIA/EIA-553-A sections and Connect the mobile to the base station emulator in a call on channel Monitor the SAT from the mobile out of the base station emulator. 3. Remove the SAT from the base station emulator or send an invalid SAT to mobile and measure the time that the mobile takes to drop the call. 4. This shall be repeated for all three SAT frequencies Criteria The mobile station shall drop the call between seconds after the SAT is removed or an invalid SAT is sent Adjacent and Alternate Channel Desensitization See TIA/EIA-690 Section for details of this test. The test shall be conducted on channels 384, 799 and Intermodulation Spurious Response Attenuation (ISA) See TIA/EIA-690 Section for details of this test. If the EUT is unable to comply with TIA/EIA-690 Section the EUT may be tested to EIA-IS-19-B Section The test shall be conducted on channels 384, 799 and Protection Against Spurious-Response Interference See TIA/EIA-690 Section for details of this test Analog Bit Error Rate The bit-error rate is the ratio of the number of erroneous bits received to the total number of bits received during an observation period. However, it is not possible to measure the bit-error rate directly. Therefore, the Order Message Error Rate is used as an indication of bit-error rate performance Test Procedure The EUT s RVC Order Confirmation messages will be examined as the base stations sends complete 40 bit messages on an AVC. Failure to send RVC Order Confirmation messages, or an incorrect RVC Order Confirmation message indicates that the message was not correctly decoded by the EUT. An Order Message Error Rate (OMER) can be determined by the following procedure: 1. Set a RF Channel Emulator for Rayleigh fading conditions at 32 km/hr. May Revision 4.2

17 Criteria Certification Program Test Plan 2. Using a base station emulator, establish a call on channel 384 in the Rayleigh faded channel. 3. Set the RF power of the Rayleigh faded channel at the mobile station to -110dBm. 4. Send Audit Order messages from the base station simulator to the mobile station and monitor for the correct response. A minimum of 100 messages shall be sent. The OMER shall be less than or equal to.05 (5%) Channel Switching Time See TIA/EIA-690 Section for details of this test. The channel switching time is relaxed to 100 ms. The channel switching time may be measured using the time from when the power begins to decay on the first channel to when the power is within 3 db of its final value on the second channel Carrier Switching Time See TIA/EIA-690 Section for details of this test Analog RF Power Transition Time See TIA/EIA-690 Section for details of this test Analog Carrier-On State See TIA/EIA-690 Section for details of this test Analog Audio Voice-Path Muting See TIA/EIA-690 Section for details of this test Analog Residual Amplitude Modulation (AM) See TIA/EIA -690 Section for details of this test RF Sensitivity on All Channels See TIA/EIA-690 Section for details of this test.
