About TRX loop test

The principle of the TRX loop test (or TRX Test
in Ultrasite) is to test the functionality of TRX
unit and all modules in it. The TX and RX blocks
in a TRX are tested as well as some parts of the
BB block.
Test signal simulates the real up-/downlink
communication between BTS and MS during a
phone call. The signal delay in DL/UL is 3 TS
(timeslots); just like in the normal situation.
During the TRX Loop test, this delay is taken into
account in the BB part.
