Developing the measurement uncertainty calculations and guidelines based on the 3GPP standard for NOKIA TA RF laboratory

Abstract

The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to unify, clarify and revise the measurement uncertainty (MU) calculations made and used by NOKIA Type Approval (TA) Radio Frequency (RF) Laboratory. The calculations were done utilizing the Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM) and the values used in the calculations were obtained directly from the measurement device manufacturers. The results of the calculations were utilized to ensure that the NOKIA TA RF laboratory complies with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) standards for the acceptable uncertainty of the test system.
