for normal operation
of the EUT.
In addition, any auxiliary equipment which is available as part of the product, either for
installation or as an option should be supplied.
1.6 - Subscriber Unit Test Interface (TIA) Requirements
Detailed requirements for the Test Interface Adapter are defined in TIA/EIA Interim
Standard, TIA/EIA/IS-137-A, TDMA Cellular/PCS - Radio Interface - Minimum
Performance Standard for Mobile Stations, Section 8, Mobile Station Test Interface.
These requirements represent an attempt to standardize the test interface, including
access to all points required for testing. They allow automatic tests to be carried out,
specify audio impedances, and Equipment Under Test (EUT) control codes for manual
testing.
Note that no laboratory attempt will be made to “kludge” patches for any test that
requires internal test point connections. Permission, physical access to the relevant test
points in the subscriber set, and clear instructions must be provided from the
manufacturer.
The TIA, together with appropriate documentation and labeling, must be supplied with
each unit submitted for testing. The TIA, including all associated connectors and cables,
must operate without degrading the performance of the EUT under test.
The cables supplied to connect the TIA and the unit under test must be of sufficient
length to permit the physical separation of the TIA from the EUT under test in
environmental testing (approximately 5 to 6 feet).
May 2004
15
Revision 3.2
Certification Program Test Plan
The connectors supplied for connection of the TIA and/or the EUT to the test equipment
must be standard connectors (N-type, BNC or SMA). If specialized or proprietary
connectors are used, adapters must be provided.
Additional criteria may be added to the TIA requirement if deemed necessary by the
testing laboratory.
1.7 - Subscriber Unit Documentation
All documentation associated with the installation and operation of the equipment shall
be supplied in accordance with the CTIA Program Management Document-Mobile
Station Certification Programs. This should include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
User guides or manuals
Programming instructions
Installation guides or manuals
Service manuals, including manual control of EUT from TIA and/or keypad
Identification of the IF frequencies used in the receiver
Diagram of the Test Interface Adapter, giving details of the pin connections.
Submission check-list (Appendix B)
In addition to the documentation, a telephone number and contract person at the
manufacturer shall be supplied, to provide back-up in answering technical or operational
questions.
1.8 - Test Equipment and Software
The “core” test equipment used during the evaluation will be identified in each individual
Test Procedure. Equipment may be substituted or updated from time to time. Should this
occur, such change shall be noted in the Test Report. Equipment shall be calibrated to
standards traceable to NIST. Accuracy of equipment shall normally be as described in
Section 6 of the standard.
1.9 - Test Environment
All tests as described in this Test Plan will be performed at an accredited laboratory
contracted by CTIA. Personnel performing the test will be experienced in the testing of
mobile communications equipment. Special instructions, where needed for operation of
EUT will be provided by the manufacturer.
Representatives from the manufacturers whose equipment is under test may witness any
part of the testing. Such witnessing should be arranged prior to testing, and shall not
unduly increase the time allocated to the test. Incremental costs, if any, incurred due to
test witnessing, will be borne by the manufacturer.
May 2004
16
Revision 3.2
Certification Program Test Plan
All tests, with the exception of the environmental tests, will be performed under normal
laboratory test conditions, as required by ISO/IEC Guide 25.
1.10 - Failure Criteria
Failure during the tests may occur as:
a) Failure to Meet a Required Parameter/Specification - If this condition is observed,
the laboratory shall make a reasonable check of the unit, and/or second unit, to ensure
that a true failure has taken place. If the unit under test remains functional, and the
laboratory deems that testing can continue, the failure shall be reported in the Test
Report, and/or the second test sample will be substituted for the remaining evaluation
when reasonable. CTIA shall be notified of all conditions and laboratory decisions
during the evaluation process.
b) Serious Failure - This shall include failure to meet the recommended minimum
performance criteria for digital parameters, function, physical failure, burning, etc. If
such failures occur, the evaluation shall be stopped and the second test sample
substituted to ensure that a true failure had occurred. CTIA shall be notified
immediately when a serious failure occurs.
All failures of any type will be noted in the Test Report. Where deemed appropriate by
the testing laboratory, interim failures will also be reported for recommended action.
Repairs or alterations to the unit under test will not be made unless specific instruction to
do so is received from the client. Such work is not considered within the scope of testing
to this procedure.
For certification purposes, tests different from those shown in this Test Plan will only be
conducted upon instruction by CTIA. Certain tests are conducted for informational
purposes only.
1.11 - Test Reports
The test report will provide the results of the tests, and will include:
1. The type, serial number and description of the equipment tested.
2. FCC ID Number and Software Revision.
3. The date of the tests.
4. The person who performed the tests.
5. The laboratory facility used for the tests.
6. The reference Test Plan to which the units were tested.
7. The test results, identifying each set of results for each individual procedure.
8. A list of where the unit did not meet the specified criteria (failures).
9. Data and plots.
10. Contact Point.
May 2004
17
Revision 3.2
Certification Program Test Plan
The Certification Test Report will not normally provide any analysis of why the unit
might have failed any test, and will not suggest any modifications to correct the problem.
Two copies of all Certification Test Reports will be delivered to CTIA. Requests for
additional copies should be made through CTIA.
Specific test results will be released to the submitting manufacturer only. CTIA will
maintain complete confidentiality of specific test results. Upon satisfaction of the CTIA
Certification Program Manager that all Certification Program requirements have been
met, a unit will be added to the CTIA List of Certified Mobile Stations and made
available to the industry and the general public.
Neither public nor industry notifications will be made upon the failure of a unit to pass.
Specific test data results will not be released without the written approval of the
submitting manufacturer.

Certification Program Test Plan
Section 2 - The Automatic Baseline
2.1 - Introduction
This section describes the tests that are automatically performed by software provided by
the test equipment manufacturers. In an effort to efficiently evaluate a subscriber
station’s performance, in conjunction with the need to use the test equipment
manufacturer’s 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. Upon an EUT’s failure to comply with the industry’s criteria in
critical areas, results will be verified in accordance with the standard.
The Hewlett-Packard HP-8920B RF Communications Test Set is the “core” test set used
for the Automatic Tests. This is not meant to preclude the use of other appropriate
testing apparatus for the verification of failures. This test set is equipped with the HP
11807E Option 024 AMPS/EAMPS/DAMPS/NAMPS Cellular/PCS Tests. These tests
are performed, generally, with minimal operator intervention. Current firmware and
software revisions will be included 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 - Tests Overview
Tests included in this section are contained in Table 2.1 shown below. Test names are
from the HP8920B evaluation software (HP 11807E, Option 024) or the Wavetek 3600D

Section 3 - The Manual Baseline
3.1 - Introduction
This section describes the tests that cannot be automatically performed by software
supplied with the test equipment. These tests require manual control of the RF
instrumentation and access to specific test points in the EUT. These tests are described in
significant detail because the consistency and repeatability inherent in an automated test
system will be more difficult to otherwise attain with manual testing.
To achieve maximum efficiency, many of these tests will be automated with software
developed specifically for the purpose of instrumentation control. This software will be
made available when completed. Additionally, some tests may be performed with the
EUT in the “normal conversational” mode.

3.3.1 - Synchronization
The time required for a mobile station to switch between traffic channels and
obtain synchronization on the new assigned channel.
3.3.1.1 - Test Procedure
1. Connect equipment as shown in Figure 3.1.
2. Using the IFR 1600-CSA Cell Site Simulation screen - or - the EUT
programming codes establish a DTC call on channel 384 (998 for PCS
operation).
3. Using a spectrum analyzer or equivalent device, confirm a RF level of
–60 dBm measured at the EUT.
4. Using the HP8920B, setup a Rayleigh faded second traffic channel at
least 60 kHz away from the initial traffic channel.
5. Set fading parameters and relevant RF levels on the second traffic
channel using the TAS 4500 as per Table 3.2. Confirm RF levels
measured at the EUT.
6. Using TML’s instrumentation controlling software, or equivalent
method, perform 100 sequential handoffs from the initial traffic
channel to the second traffic channel.
7. Measure the time from the mobile’s acknowledgment of the handoff
message to the time when the mobile transmits the first shortened
burst, within ½ symbol of the correct position on the new traffic
channel.
8. Analyze test results and record pass/fail in Table 3.3.

3.3.2 - Audio Muting
The receiver audio output shall be muted to prevent unnecessary or unwanted
noise being directed to the user. The muting shall not introduce unwanted
transients into the audio signal.
3.3.2.1 - Test Procedure
1. Connect equipment as shown in Figure 3.2.
2. Using the HP8920B Call Control screen - or - the EUT programming
codes establish a call on channel 384.
3. In the “RX” screen set the RF signal level to -50 dBm modulated with
a 1000 Hz tone at ±8 kHz deviation, plus a 6000 Hz SAT at ±2 kHz
deviation.
4. Initialize a power level change on the EUT via the Call Control
Screen.

3.3.11 - Digital Blocking and Spurious Response Rejection
Blocking is defined as the de-sensitization of the receiver by a signal separated in
frequency from the wanted signal by at least three channels. The signal
frequencies that may block the receiver range from the lowest intermediate
frequency of the receiver to at least three times the wanted signal frequency (fc) of
the receiver.
A spurious response is defined as the de-sensitization of the receiver by signals in
a specific small band of frequencies, which has a bandwidth (bs) of the same order
as the channel bandwidth. The frequencies of signals that may produce spurious
responses are in the same range as those that may cause blocking. The bandwidth
(bs) of the spurious response is the continuous range of frequencies in which a
signal at the level of the blocking level limit causes the error rate limit to be
exceeded.

3.3.13 - Delay Interval
Delay interval is defined as the difference in µsec between a RF signal and a
delayed version of the same RF signal. These two RF signals are referred to as
the first and last ray, using a two-ray model. These two rays are of equal
magnitude and hereafter referred to as the desired signal. The delay interval biterror rate is a measure of the receiver’s ability to demodulate a Rayleigh faded
signal in the presence of a delayed, Rayleigh faded version of the same RF signal.
Delay interval performance is measured under carrier to noise and co-channel
interference conditions. BER on the Data Field bits shall be used to measure
performance.

4.3.2 - Authentication Testing
4.3.2.1 - Test procedure
Evaluation of Authentication is accomplished by use of specialized
software and an IFR Model FM/AM-1600CSA with authentication testing
software. The EUT is connected to the IFR test set as shown in Figure
4.2.
Testing should be performed as defined in the “CTIA 800 MHz Mobile
Stations Authentication Test Procedure”, July 1998, Rev. 3.1. This
document dictates that the EUT shall be tested in four separate
configurations. These are: 1) Test Set and EUT set to same SID and using
factory set A-Key, 2) Test Set and EUT set to same SID and using a
random A-Key, 3) Test Set and EUT set to same SID and using a nonvalid A-Key, and 4) Test Set and EUT set to different SID (roam) mode
and valid A-Key. If the EUT operates as a dual NAM phone, then this
procedure is repeated on the second NAM.

4.3.6 - Idle Orders
The following orders are considered Idle Orders:
1. Response to overhead information: when the EUT receives an
overhead message train, it must compare SIDs with SIDr. If
SIDs ≠ SIDr the EUT must exit the Idle Task and enter the
Initialization Task. If SIDs = SIDr the EUT must set the
random challenge received status to disabled and update to the
numeric values contained in the Overhead Message Train.
2. Page match: the EUT must monitor mobile station control
messages for page messages. If the ROAM status is disabled,
the EUT must attempt to match MIN1p to MIN1r for one-word
messages and both MIN1p and MIN2p to MIN1r and MIN2r for
two-word messages. All decoded MIN bits must match to
cause the mobile station to respond to the message. If the
ROAM status is enabled, the EUT must attempt to match both
MIN1p and MIN2p to MIN1r and MIN2r. All decoded MIN
bits must match to cause the EUT to respond to the order.
3. Order: The EUT must monitor mobile station control
messages for orders and must attempt to match both MIN1p
and MIN2p to MIN1r and MIN2r. All decoded MIN bits must
match to cause the mobile station to respond to the order. The
responses to the following orders are:
a. Audit order: The EUT must enter the System Access Task
with an order confirmation indication.
b. Local control order: The action to be taken depends on the
local control field.
c. SSD update order: The EUT computes SSD-A_NEW and
SSD-B_NEW and selects a RANDBS. The EUT must then
enter the System Access Task with a base station challenge
indication.

be within a range of values. If the ringer alerts too loudly, the user may be
annoyed. If the ringer alerts too softly, the user may miss calls.
6.3.11.1 – Test Procedure
1. Place the EUT on a smooth, flat surface. Locate the B&K 2209
approximately 1 meter from the EUT.
2. Using a base station emulator (HP 8920 or Wavetek 3600D) send an
alert order to the EUT.
3. In TML’s Semi-anechoic chamber, measure the sound level that the
ringer alerts using the B&K 2209 Impulse Precision Sound Level
Meter.
4. Record results in Table 6.8.
6.3.11.2 – Criteria
While no specific criteria exist for this test, a nominal alerting level of 75
dB is desirable. If the EUT has a range of alerting values, it is desired that
the max to min variation be at least 3 dB.

8.3.3 - Spectrum Noise Suppression - Broadband
Spectrum noise suppression is the restraint of sideband energy produced at
discrete frequency separations from the carrier due to all sources of unwanted
noise within the transmitter in a modulated condition.
8.3.3.1 - Test procedure
1. Connect equipment as shown in Figure 8.2
2. Set the spectrum analyzer center frequency to 836.52 MHz (Channel
384, TX) with a resolution bandwidth of 300 Hz. The span, or start
and stop frequencies, will depend on the test being performed. Set the
spectrum analyzer to read the spectrum relative to the amplitude of the
unmodulated carrier.
3. Using the EUT programming codes, place the EUT on channel 384
with the transmitter enabled and the compressor disabled. Modulate
the EUT’s transmitter as defined in Table 8.4.
4. For voice modulation, set an external audio source for a frequency of
2500 Hz and adjust its output 13.5 dB higher then required to achieve
8 kHz at 1000 Hz.
