TIA-102.BAAB-B:2005 (R2013)

This document lists a series of conformance tests for the Common
Air Interface, defined in reference [2]. These tests are intended
to assure that equipment actually conforms to the formats specified
in the Common Air Interface. The object of the conformance tests is
to assure that equipment may be interoperable with other equipment
conforming to the standard. These tests are different and distinct
from performance tests, given in reference [5], which measure the
actual limits of equipment performance. The performance and
conformance tests are mutually complementary. These tests are also
different and distinct from lock down tests, which are intended to
demonstrate interoperability between different radios. These
conformance tests are intended to precede lock down tests.

These tests are generally intended to be applied by a
manufacturer to a product implementation to verify that it conforms
to the Common Air Interface. These tests only apply to radio
products, particularly portable and mobile radios and base stations
or repeaters. Some of the tests are designed to apply to
transmitters, by specifying the transmit signal under a
representative set of transmitter conditions. Other tests are
designed to apply to receivers, by defining a standard test signal,
and then specifying the minimum response of the receiver to the
test signal.

The specific test cases for the transmitter tests are selected
to exercise the encoders for the various codes used in the Common
Air Interface. In general the transmitter tests can be applied to a
receiver by exciting the receiver with the test signals and then
measuring the receiver's response. The required response of the
receiver to the transmitter test signals in not defined in this
document, but it may be inferred from the information content of
the test signal, the conditions of the test signal, and the
operating characteristics of the receiver. The specific test cases
and conditions for the receiver tests are selected to exercise the
error correcting and detecting mechanisms in the receiver.
