Hello, everybody
I think this is a simple question for RF expert. What is the EVM, and how to measure the EVM ? and the relationship between spectrum mask???

y can use the AGILENT E4445A to meaure the EVM;
this is a cheap way;

or y can use the vector signal analyzer to measure the EVM

you can visit the @ilent website for more info about EVM test. I saw the EVM test for GSM/EDGE PA output signals. all done by @gilent E4406 VSA instrument.
 

There really isn't a relationship betweem EVM and spectral mask. For example, you could have a sign error in you baseband I/Q setup, so that your bits are inverted. You'd see the same spectral mask, but your evm would be bad.
 

Have a llok to the Agilent note
