HP 8921A Cell Site Test Set Family
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.
CDMA — HP 8921A Option 600
(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.
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.
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).

Leakage: Conducted and radiated interference meets CISPR 11.
Typical HP 8921A radiated leakage at signal generator output
frequency is <1.0 µV (2.0 µV for HP 8921 Options 500 or
600) induced in a resonant dipole antenna 25 mm (1 inch)
from any surface except the rear panel for RF output levels
<−40 dBm. Spurious leakage levels are typically <1 µV in a
resonant dipole antenna.
