30 MHz to 1000 MHz, 1700 MHz to 2000 MHz

The Agilent Technologies 8924C CDMA mobile
station test set provides the key set of measure­ments to verify the performance of dual-mode
CDMA mobile phones operating from 500 to 1000

MHz. With the Agilent Technologies 83236B PCS
Interface, the 8924C additionally offers CDMA
mobile testing from 1700 to 2000 MHz. Acting as a
calibrated, high performance CDMA base station,
the 8924C verifies not only the parametric charac­teristics of CDMA phones, but also the functional
aspects of phone performance.

The 8924C’s full AMPS, NAMPS, EAMPS, TACS,
NTACS, ETACS, and JTACS test capability saves
you space, cost, and training expenses by allowing
you to make both analog and CDMA digital meas­urements with the same instrument.

For complete call processing verification, the
8924C supports both mobile and base station initi­ated call connect and disconnect. Once a phone
call is established, verifying the overall functionality
of a CDMA mobile is simple using the 8924C’s
voice echo mode. For testing a variety of protocol
formats, the 8924C offers six user selectable proto­col stacks: IS-95, IS-95A, TSB-74, J-STD-008, ARIB
T53, and KOREAN PCS. The 8924C also supports a
number of service options, including 9600 BPS and
14,400 BPS traffic channel configurations.

High Accuracy CDMA Source
for CDMA Receiver Test

Active cell site emulation in the 8924C is supplied
by Sector A. The Sector A source supports the fol­lowing CDMA channels: pilot, sync, paging, traffic,
and orthogonal channel noise source (OCNS). In
addition, the 8924C has a second sector for testing
softer hand-offs. Sector B is a partial sector that
has a pilot channel, a traffic channel, and an OCNS
channel. An additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN)
Source is also included to provide the interference
generated by adjacent cells in a working CDMA
network. The 8924C measures receiver frame error
rate (FER) at all four data rates used in the CDMA
system: full, half, quarter, and one-eighth.
Confidence limit technology is used to reduce
receiver test time to an absolute minimum.

CDMA Transmitter Measurements

The 8924C provides an average power measure­ment based on new DSP technology. A DSP based
channel power measurement enables the 8924C to
achieve accurate low level CDMA power measure­ments. Access probe power measurements are also
available. The 8924C measures transmitted wave­form quality by using the IS-98A/J-STD-018 recom­mended correlated power method, also known as
the rho (ρ) measurement. In addition, the rho
measurement reports the frequency error, modula­tion phase and amplitude error, and the carrier
feedthrough.

Hand-off Verification

To speed testing, the 8924C supports hard hand­offs between RF channels. CDMA to analog hand­offs from both cellular and PCS bands are also sup­ported. With two configurable CDMA sectors, the
8924C can verify the ability of a CDMA mobile to
support softer hand-offs. Two 8924C test sets can
be synchronized for complete idle and soft hand­off testing.

Authentication and Short
Message Service Support

The 8924C provides the necessary features for test­ing a CDMA mobile station’s ability to perform call
processing functions with authentication for Korea
and the United States. Also, the 8924C supports
mobile terminated SMS.

Automated Software

The new E8290A PoST (point of service test) soft­ware makes the 8924C an automated CDMA test
solution. The E8290A quickly provides accurate
phone performance and quality data at the point
of sale. This PC-based solution is very easy to use,
reduces churn, reduces NTF (no trouble found),
and improves customer care.

The 83217A CDMA dual-mode mobile station test
software can also be used to automate CDMA and
analog mobile phone measurements. The 83217A
solution does not require a PC. Rather, automatic
tests can be completely set up using the front panel
of the 8924C. Options are available to meet your
test needs for CDMA, AMPS, NAMPS, JTACS,
NTACS, U.S. PCS, and Korean PCS phones.

Specifications describe the instrument’s warranted per­formance and apply after a 30 minute warm-up. These
specifications are valid over the 8924C’s entire operating
environmental range unless otherwise noted. Specifications
are subject to change without notice.

Supplemental Characteristics (shown in italics) are
intended to provide additional information, useful in
applying the instrument by giving typical expected, but
non-warranted, performance.

dynamic range depending on the data rate in use.

AWGN power is in terms of dBm in a 1.23 MHz
bandwidth, the actual broadband output power
as seen by a power meter on the front panel will
be higher than reported on the front panel.

Calibrate: Calibrates the channel power measure­ment over the entire operating frequency range of
the currently selected RF Channel Standard. This
calibration requires the user to connect the Duplex

RF Out Only Port to the RF In/Out Port when using
the 83236B) before initiating the calibration.

Alternate Channel Standard: Allows the selection of a

or all bands at one time. This allows switching
between to standards without having to recalibrate
after each RF Channel Standard change.

Channel Power measurement whenever the unit
detects that the channel power calibration has not
been run for the currently set RF Channel
Standard.
