Atec 3600D User Manual
Model 3600D
TDMA
The TDMA option provides
comprehensive modulation tests, BER,
mobile-reported BER, MAHO RSSI,
complete call processing, and voice
tests using the Vocoder.
IS-136
The IS-136 option allows generation of
Forward and Reverse Digital Control
channels or custom Digital Control
channels for increased flexibility.
PCS
PCS capability can be achieved with the
FEX option, combined with the TDMA
or CDMA option, providing a complete
dual band test set. The options provide
IS-95A and J-STD-008 signaling and
measurements, and IS-136A Digital
Control Channel testing.
CDMA
CDMA testing provides call processing
including softer and hard hand-offs,
power control, waveform quality,
OCNS and AWGN sources, and
optional Voice Codec.
Versatile Design Allows
Upgrade And Evolution
Wavetek’s 3600D combines previous
experience and future vision in
proven features and expandable
platform. All TIA formats are
covered, including AMPS, NAMPS,
TDMA (IS-54B and IS-136), and
extensive test coverage of CDMA
(IS-95A/98). All these digital formats
are available at PCS frequencies
using a self-contained frequency
extension module (FEX). Japanese
and Korean frequency band
specifications are also covered.
Up to four optional modules can
be simply installed. Using flash
memory and the on-board floppy
disk drive, straightforward field
upgrades can be made. Modules can
be purchased as technology develops
and customers’ needs change, as the
3600D’s easy upgrade path preserves
your investment in equipment,
programs, and training.
performed manually can be included
in an AUTORUN. AUTORUNs can
be helpful for specific phones which
may require unique tests and for
carriers who require specific tests for
phones within the system.
Custom AUTORUNs are supplied
by the carrier or phone manufacturer,
or written to user specification. Each
3600D comes with five AUTORUNs
in memory and additional examples
on a 3.5” diskette. The 3600D stores
five AUTORUN tests internally and
accepts 3.5” diskettes for more.
Large Comprehensive Display
The 3600D’s large LCD screen can
be viewed at up to 45˚ angle, allowing key parameters to be viewed
without squinting or constant adjustment -– ideal for a busy service
bench. Comprehensive displays of
parameters are included on the
summary screens.
Channel, base power level, mobile
power level, and system parameter
set-up readings are always displayed
at the bottom of the screen.

Quick, Repeatable Testing With AUTORUNs
The 3600D’s comprehensive MSDOS based programming capability

CDMA Capabilities for
Cellular and PCS
Upgrading the 3600D is easy. With
the new CDMA module, technicians
can perform call processing, transmitter tests, and receiver tests. Builtin AMPS and NAMPS protocols are
standard, while PCS coverage is
provided with an optional FEX
module. Based upon requirements of
IS-95A and J-STD-008, the 3600D’s
extensive call processing capabilities
include registration, authentication,
and softer and hard handoffs.
In the critical area of power
control, closed loop and open loop
power control are supported. Speech
coding can use pre-recorded, loopback, or an optional 8K/13K Vocoder
to check voice quality.
CDMA and
TDMA Formats
The 3600D’s signal generator
provides pilot, sync, paging, and
selectable traffic channels. An
Additive White Gaussian Noise
source with 30 dB troubleshooting
range allows real world receiver
testing. The constellation display
shows the symmetry of the modulator and checks for skew and origin
offset. Residual ρ is better than 0.97
for confidence in receiver testing.
Highly accurate, the transmitter
analyzer provides power measurements of ±0.65 dB +0.003 dB/dB
(below +40 dBm) over temperature.
The high ρ accuracy is ±0.003 is ideal
for phone troubleshooting nonlinearity or amplifier defects.
TDMA Testing, IS-136,
and Voice Codecs
Testing digital phones is simple
and effective with the 3600D.
Authentication, Call Waiting,
SMS, and Calling Number ID
test capabilities allow phone
features to be thoroughly checked. The standard VSELP Codec
allows technicians to check voice
quality end-to-end, while the
new ACELP Voice Codec option
