GSM GRPS, EDGE... Mobile Handset parameters - RF Cafe Forums

Hello Guys,

I am interested to know about the parameters that are being tested during the evaluation of a mobile phone with these standards: GSM, GRPS, EDGE and similar. Would you be so kind to provide some information about that (links, app notes etc), or from your own experience.

Thank you!

Greetings IR:

ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) is the specification you want. It lays out all the required tests for GSM. Test equipment vendors like Rohde & Schwarz and Aglient can point you in the right direction either by calling a rep or looking up communications test sets on their websites.

You can find the document you need here:
