2. RX Quality 0 to 7. 0 to 5 0 is the best. Rx quality depends upon Bit Error Rate BER. BER Rx Q 0 0.2 0 0.2 0.4 1 0.4 0.8 2 0.8 1.6 3 1.6 3.2 4 3.2 6.4 5 6.4 12.8 6 12.8 25.6 7 Call without Hoping Rx Q should be less then 4. Call with Hoping RxQ should be less then 5. 3. Speech Quality Index (SQI) 0 to 30. 0 to 25 Maximum value is good. Speech Quality is dependent on Rx Quality and C/I ratio. 4. Speech Quality 1 to 5 Maximum value is good for speech quality. Index 1 2 3 4 5 Quality Scale Unsatisfactory (Speech not understandable) Poor Fair Good Excellent

5. Carrier to Interference (C/I) or Co-channel interference ratio. 0to 25 db > 15 Good > 9 So-So. 6. Carrier to Adjacent Interference Ratio (C/A) > 3. 7. Frame Error Rate It should be 0.

8. Timing Advance TA 1 TA = 554m T T (bit) = (2d) c Where T= Timing Advance C = vel.of light 3 10^5 m /ms T(bit) = 1 270.833 Now d = T ( ( T (bit) c ) 2 ) = T ( ( 1 270.833 ) 3 10^5 ) 2 ) Now after calc. d = T 554 m
