A5.5.1 Test System Uncertainty for A-GPS and A-GNSS Minimum Performance tests

The maximum acceptable uncertainty of the Test System is specified below for each test, where appropriate.

The Test System shall enable the stimulus signals in the test case to be adjusted to within the specified range, and the equipment under test to be measured with an uncertainty not exceeding the specified values. All ranges and uncertainties are absolute values, and are valid for a confidence level of 95 %, unless otherwise stated.

A confidence level of 95 % is the measurement uncertainty tolerance interval for a specific measurement that contains 95 % of the performance of a population of test equipment.

It should be noted that the uncertainties in this clause apply to the Test System operating into a nominal 50 ohm load and do not include system effects due to mismatch between the DUT and the Test System.

For MS assisted mode it is assumed that the output from the WLS position solution calculation in clause 70.11.4.3 is coded using the same position coding method as for MS based mode before being used to calculate position error. Therefore the effect of reporting resolution will be the same as for MS based mode.

For MS assisted mode it is assumed that the output from the WLS position solution calculation in clause 70.16.4.3 is coded using the same position coding method as for MS based mode before being used to calculate position error. Therefore the effect of reporting resolution will be the same as for MS based mode.

A5.5.2 Test Parameter Relaxations (This clause is informative)

The Test Parameter Relaxations defined in this clause have been used to relax the Conformance requirement to derive the Test Requirements.

The Test Parameter Relaxations are derived from Test System uncertainties, regulatory requirements and criticality to system performance. As a result, the Test Parameter Relaxations may sometimes be set to zero.

The Test Parameter Relaxations should not be modified for any reason e.g. to take account of commonly known test system errors (such as mismatch, cable loss, etc.).

A5.5.3 Interpretation of measurement results

The measurement results returned by the Test System are compared – without any modification – against the Test Requirements as defined by the shared risk principle.

The Shared Risk principle is defined in TR 102 273-1-2, clause 6.5.

The actual measurement uncertainty of the Test System for the measurement of each parameter shall be included in the test report.

The recorded value for the Test System uncertainty shall be, for each measurement, equal to or lower than the appropriate figure in clause A5.5.1.

If the Test System for a test is known to have a measurement uncertainty greater than that specified in clause A5.5.1, it is still permitted to use this apparatus provided that an adjustment is made value as follows:

Any additional uncertainty in the Test System over and above that specified in clause A5.5.1 shall be used to tighten the Test Requirement – making the test harder to pass. (This may require modification of stimulus signals). This procedure will ensure that a Test System not compliant with clause A5.5.1does not increase the chance of passing a device under test where that device would otherwise have failed the test if a Test System compliant with clause A5.5.1 had been used.

A5.5.4 Derivation of Test Requirements (This clause is informative)

The Test Requirements have been calculated by relaxing the Conformance requirement of the core specification using the Test Parameter Relaxations defined in clause A5.5.2. When the Test Parameter Relaxation is zero, the Test Requirement will be the same as the Conformance requirement. When the Test Parameter Relaxation is non-zero, the Test Requirements will differ from the Conformance requirement, and the formula used for this relaxation is given in table A5.5.4.1 and A5.5.4.2.
