Access: [MODE] > "Multi-Standard Radio Analyzer Tab"
The OneWeb application is supported by the Multi Standard Radio Analyzer (MSRA).
The MSRA mode supports all I/Q measurements and result displays available with the
OneWeb application, except the frequency sweep measurements (SEM and ACLR).
In MSRA operating mode, only the MSRA primary actually captures data. The applica-
tion receives an extract of the captured data for analysis, referred to as the application
data. The application data range is defined by the same settings used to define the
signal capture in "Signal and Spectrum Analyzer" mode. In addition, a capture offset
can be defined, i.e. an offset from the start of the captured data to the start of the
analysis interval.
If a signal contains multiple data channels for multiple standards, separate applications
are used to analyze each data channel. Thus, it is of interest to know which application
is analyzing which data channel. The MSRA primary display indicates the data covered
by each application by vertical blue lines labeled with the application name. The blue
lines correspond to the channel bandwidth.
However, the individual result displays of the application need not analyze the com-
plete data range. The data range that is actually analyzed by the individual result dis-
play is referred to as the analysis interval.
The analysis interval is automatically determined according to the Capture Time you
have defined. The analysis interval cannot be edited directly in the OneWeb applica-
tion, but is changed automatically when you change the evaluation range. The cur-
rently used analysis interval (in seconds, related to capture buffer start) is indicated in
the window header for each result display.
A frequent question when analyzing multi-standard signals is how each data channel is
correlated (in time) to others. Thus, an analysis line has been introduced. The analysis
line is a common time marker for all MSRA secondary applications. It can be posi-
tioned in any MSRA secondary application or the MSRA primary and is then adjusted
in all other secondary applications. Thus, you can easily analyze the results at a spe-
cific time in the measurement in all secondary applications and determine correlations.
If the analysis interval of the secondary application contains the marked point in time,
the line is indicated in all time-based result displays, such as time, symbol, slot or bit
diagrams. By default, the analysis line is displayed. However, you can hide it from view
manually. In all result displays, the "AL" label in the window title bar indicates whether
the analysis line lies within the analysis interval or not:
●orange "AL": the line lies within the interval
●white "AL": the line lies within the interval, but is not displayed (hidden)
●no "AL": the line lies outside the interval
For details on the MSRA operating mode, see the R&S FSW MSRA documentation.
