CDMA — HP 8921A Option 600 |
AMPS/NAMPS/TACS/ETACS/UTACS —
HP 8921A, HP 11807B
Install and maintain AMPS, NAMPS, TACS, ETACS, and UTACS cell site radio equipment with the
HP 8921A Cell Site Test Set and the HP 11807B Cell Site Test Software.
The HP 8921A+11807B test solution uses the HP 8921A’s built-in IBASIC controller to fully automate base station test procedures with the HP 11807B Software Test packages.
Developed from manufacturer’s recommended maintenance procedures, the HP 11807B Cell Site Test Software ensures complete test and adjustment of cell sites as recommended by the manufacturers. By using the standardized maintenance procedures, each cell site receives the same high-quality analysis and adjustment.
Coverage for Analog and Digital
Cellular Systems
Besides testing AMPS and TACS base stations, the HP 8921A is ready to grow with your measurement needs for future cellular systems.
TDMA — HP 8921A Option 500
(HP 8921A + HP 83204A Option 001)
The HP 83204A TDMA Cellular Adapter adds a complete π/4 DQPSK signal generator, modulation analyzer, and BER analyzer to the HP 8921A while maintaining all analog measurements for dual-mode testing of IS-136 digital cellular formats. HP 11807B software fully automates TDMA test procedures recommended by manufacturers to optimize system performance.
(HP 8921A + HP 83205A Option 001)
Test IS-95A/97A base stations with the HP 8921A Option 600 CDMA Cell Site Test System. This system consists of an HP 8921A Cell Site Test Set and the HP 83205A CDMA Cellular Adapter. Existing
HP 8921As can be upgraded for CDMA digital testing by adding the HP 83205A. (Older HP 8921As require the Option G21 upgrade for complete CDMA capabilities.) The HP 8921A retains its full capabilities for testing AMPS/NAMPS base stations.
CDPD — HP 8921A + HP 83204A or HP 83205A
The HP 8921A has optional Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) test capability for installing and maintaining CDPD Mobile Data Base Station (MDBS) RF infrastructure equipment. CDPD capability can be ordered with TDMA, CDMA, or analog test systems; or CDPD test features can be retrofit to existing
HP 8921As.
PCS — HP 83236B
HP 8921A PCS solutions build on the HP 8921A cellular band test solutions for TDMA and CDMA— adding the HP 83236B PCS Interface to extend testing capabilities to U.S. and international PCS frequencies (1710 to 1990 MHz). Contact your local HewlettPackard sales representative for PCS solutions at other frequencies. The HP 83236B can be combined with existing HP 8921A systems without returning them to the factory.
PCS TDMA — HP 8921A Option 501
(HP 8921A + HP 83204A Option 001 + HP 83236B)
The HP 83236B provides the capabilities of the TDMA Option (Option 500) at PCS frequency bands (1710-1990 MHz).
