Atec IFR-1900CSA User Manual

Fully Featured TIA/EIA-136 (TDMA) Test Solution
The IFR-1900 CSA provides you with the industrys only accepted test solution for TIA/EIA-136 analysis, including critical adjacent power measurements and power measurements down to -40 dBm, which allows the user to test the base station
without taking it off-line.
It is capable of performing the critical dual-mode analog/digital authentication and protocol compliance tests for TIA/EIA-136 dual mode mobiles.
As for flexibility, the IFR-1900 CSA provides the capability to perform both mobile and base station conformance testing. And with the VSELP and ACELP vocoder technology as standard features, the IFR-1900 CSA can handle todays latest technology.
The IFR-1900 CSA comes with a wide array of application software options. The AC1036 Protocol Conformance Test Software provides an excellent way to verify software conformance of TIA/EIA-136 mobiles. Other applications software supports automated tests for the most widely used base station applications.
AMPS Solutions
Engineered to be a true dual-mode test solution, the IFR-1900 CSA also incorporates AMPS and NAMPS mobile and base station compliance test features.
Full AMPS testing modes are available with the
IFR-1900 CSA
Automatic test routines and user defined print outs enhance manual mode testing for both mobiles and base stations.
Open control channel simulations, voice channel signaling, home/roam condition, home SID, SAT, DSAT, DST, DCC, SINAD reference points, RF power windows, and other AMPS/NAMPS functions and signaling routines allow complete AMPS and NAMPS system testing.
A Full Complement of Service Monitor Functions to 2 GHz.
The IFR-1900 CSA gives you full frequency domain analysis to 2 GHz with a fully featured spectrum analyzer and tracking generator built-in.
The IFR-1900 CSA also offers a full complement of standard service monitor features including a full span digitized oscilloscope to 1 MHz, DVM and SINAD functions, frequency and channel tables, selectable IF filters, and a wide variety of displays.

Dynamic IQ Constellation Display Simplifies Analysis
The IFR-1900 CSA provides you with a dynamic constellation display for precise RF modulation analysis of DQPSK digitally modulated waveforms from 10 MHz to 2010 MHz. This unique IFR-1900 CSA feature gives a near real time display for testing and troubleshooting, an ability that points out the cause of the trouble in digital radios.
IQ Constellation display allows for comprehensive
digital modulation testing
Complex Functionality Made Easy
Even with its elaborate capabilities, the IFR-1900 CSA was developed to execute complex tests simply and with minimal operator training.
Using field-proven front panel and user man-machine interfaces, the IFR-1900 CSA gives you the performance and ease-of-use features that reduces your testing and training time.
Its test macro command programming language (TMAC) can be easily configured to perform automatic base station testing and remote terminal, singl
e and multi­mode, single and multiband equipment. This powerful capability allows you to create and save simple one button test routines for future use. This flexibility means you can create and execute complex and repeatable routines no matter what your level of expertise.
A new color VGA display gives IFR-1900 CSA users vivid screen clarity. Extensive use of softkeys reduces your complex cellular / PCS parametric and protocol tests to fast, simple and manageable routines.
