host/terminal and then calculating the effect on the modem.
Directly by using packet error rate testing off air.
Testing directly is preferred method because it is more of a system test.
The test must be non-intrusive. Peripheral test cables or apparatus must
not be connected to the unit under test, as they can have a significant
effect on the receiver sensitivity results.
Indirect testing is essentially FCC Part 15 EMI testing that occurs
today. Bear in mind that some assumptions have to be made to
extrapolate the results and convert them to desense figures. Of course,
these assumptions can create some error in the prediction.

Alternate Measurement Method
Wavenet can performed desense testing on an integrated host/terminal
using a special facility. The best alternate methods for determining the
desense is to measure the signal the receiver port sees by using a
spectrum analyser (see below).

Spectrum Analyser Setup
Using a spectrum analyser with an input impedance of 50 W, connect
the antenna of the product under test to the analyser. If an antenna is
currently not developed, use a portable dipole antenna as a
measurement antenna.
The measurement apparatus is capable of measuring signals as low as -
120dBm. A preamplifier is required to allow the spectrum analyser to
achieve these levels. Use the analyser’s smallest possible resolution
bandwidth, typically 1kHz, to improve the dynamic range of the
measurement.
If the input impedance of the analyser is the same as that of the radio
receiver, and the antenna, you can measure the noise to which the
receiver will be subjected. The gain on the LNA will make low-level
noise more visible. Ensure that the spectrum analyser’s input is not
the antenna of the product under test to the analyser. If an antenna is
