Selecting a PCS Band

Selecting a PCS Band

With the HP 83236B PCS Interface, the Software supports several “channel plans” used in PCS systems internationally. By selecting the appropriate plan, you can use channel numbers (rather than frequencies) to tune the signal generator and analyzer for testing.

NOTE:	If you use the HP 83236A PCS Interface, only the North American Band is supported, and
	the procedure described on this page does not apply.

The band choices in this revision of Software are:

	•	North American Band
	• Korean Band Proposal 0
	• Korean Band Proposal 1
Steps	To select a new PCS Band:
	1	From the main menu, scroll to and select Configuration Information Menu.
	2	Scroll to and select PCS Band.
	3	Choose one of the band choices by scrolling to it and pressing the knob. The choice will
		then appear in the Configuration Information Menu.
	4	To return to the main menu level, press the Main Menu (k5) key.
Notes	Once you’ve selected the appropriate channel plan, all you need to do to tune the
	Test System is enter the channel number in the Base Station Channel field.
	The Test System makes the conversion to a frequency and tunes the generator and
	analyzer. If you would like to know the frequency settings for a given channel
	number and PCS Band combination, refer to table 1 on page 52.
