HP 8922 GSM Test Sets
The HP 8922 GSM MS Test Set is ideal for use in R&D, high-end service
and manufacturing. The easy to use, rich and flexible feature set make it
the instrument of choice for bench work. The speed, accuracy and
repeatability of the HP 8922 make it ideal for use in incoming inspection
7
and volume manufacturing. The HP 8922 includes a GSM base-station
emulator and all the signalling and measurement capability to fully test
a mobile without any additional equipment.
GSM Radio Test Solutions
The HP 8922 contains a complete set of instrumentation for testing the
RF sections of GSM radios. In addition to the frequency agile 0.3 GMSK
RF generator, the RF analyzer has an agile local oscillator, coherent data
demodulator, pulse demodulator, FM demodulator, global method analyzer for phase and frequency error, synthesized spectrum analyzer,
and pulse power meter. The HP 8922 adds a bit-error-rate tester (BERT)
for performing GSM receiver measurements, channel CODEC, and call
control protocol to setup a phone call and maintain the link while performing measurements. Echo mode is facilitated by the voice CODEC
for functional testing of a mobile, and the electrical man machine interface (EMMI) is implemented for controlling the mobile and supporting
the digital audio interface (DAI). Flash memor y on the HP 8922 allows
easy upgrades.
GSM Data and HSCSD Test Solution
The HP 8922 supports the ability to test GSM single slot data and High
Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) mobiles. For use in R&D, Production and Service, options K09, K17 and K18 can test single slot, 2x1,
2x2, 9.6Kbps and 14.4Kbps mobiles.

HP 83212D GSM/DCS1800/PCS1900 Mobile Test Software
The HP 83212D is an easy-to-use software solution for automatic testing
of GSM900, DCS1800 and PCS1900 mobile stations. Running on the
HP 8922’s built-in IBASIC controller, the HP 83212D offers a comprehensive set of tests ideal for incoming inspection and repair of GSM
phones. Its flexibility and modularity allow you to select and change test
sequences, test parameters, and pass/fail limits without programming
expertise. Procedures can be simply saved on RAM cards and distributed to colleagues, guaranteeing consistent test methods. All test
results are displayed on the screen and can be documented with hardcopy printouts when an external printer is added. Three levels of testing
are available with the HP 83212D: manual mobile station troubleshooting, quick functional checkout, and full parametric testing. Automating
your measurements provides repeatable results while allowing the user
to test more mobile stations in less time. This increase in throughput
lowers your testing cost.
HP 83220A/E DCS/PCS Test Sets
The HP 8922M tests GSM mobiles only. Adding an HP 83220A/E expands the capabilities of the HP 8922M to comprehensively test DCS1800
and PCS1900 equipment. The HP 83220E provides a cost-effective solution for mobile testing. The HP 83220A has the frequency range to test
both mobiles and base stations. All features of the HP 8922 are retained.
HP 8922P Dual-band Test Sets
Combine the HP 8922M with the HP 83220E and new firmware to form
a complete dual-band (GSM 900/DCS 1800) test solution. All the original HP 8922 features are retained but now, with dual-band intra-cell handover capability, the latest GSM mobiles can be tested seamlessly, at all
frequencies, through a single RF connector.
Complete Tool Set
Aside from their complete complement of GSM measurements, the
HP 8922 contains general-purpose tools useful for module test, troubleshooting, and debugging activities. The tools include a digital oscilloscope, CW RF synthesizer, spectrum analyzer, CW RF frequency
counter, CW and peak RF power meter, ac voltmeter, dc voltmeter,
1 kHz distortion/SINAD meter, audio frequency counter, and synthesized audio source. The sum of these capabilities makes the HP 8922 an
extraordinarily powerful tool for the design manufacture and repair of
GSM radio equipment.
