Abstract

An error vector magnitude (EVM) measurement method for W-CDMA source is proposed using a real time oscilloscope with traceability to SI unit. Also measurement uncertainty is evaluated based on a Monte-Carlo simulation, which takes into account the errors from the oscilloscope and signal processing. The measured EVM of a source at 900 MHz is 0.2535% ± 0.0057% at 95% confidence level.
