Conventions Used in This Manual

The following conventions are used throughout this manual to help clarify instructions and reduce unnecessary text:

•“Test Set” refers to the Agilent 8935 CDMA Cellular/PCS Base Station Test Set.

•Test Set keys are indicated like this: Preset

•Test Set screen information, such as a measurement result or an error message, is shown like this: TX Channel Power -1.3 dBm

HP-IB and GPIB are one and the same.

What is in This Manual

•Chapter 2, “Getting Started,” on page 39 familiarizes you with the front panel controls. It introduces the different types of control fields that are used to make measurements

•Chapter 3 , “Operating Overview,” on page 51 provides general information about how to change measurement screens and change control field settings. This chapter also provides some utility procedures: calibrating channel power, setting a reference, setting measurement limits, setting a generator/analyzer offset, averaging measurements, saving and recalling setups, and using USER keys.

•Chapter 4 , “Overview of the Test Set’s Built-In Tools,” on page 77 introduces the RFTOOLS program. This program automates some measurements: cable fault location, swept return loss, swept and discrete insertion loss, spectrum analyzer self-calibration. The program also includes utilities for printing and data collection.

Basic operation of the built-in signal strength meter, spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope, and code domain analyzer is also included in this chapter.

•Chapter 5 , “CDMA Measurements - Screens and Control Fields,” on page 129 explains the measurements that can be made from these screens and the fields that control the measurement’s parameters.

CDMA measurements include average power measurements, channel power measurements, rho measurements (including frequency error, time offset, and carrier feedthrough), EVM measurements (including phase error and magnitude error), and code domain measurements (both IS-95 and IS-2000 standards).
