1.Active Cell TestMode CW Generator

This screens allows you to set up a call with the mobile to be tested and gives you access to the measurement screens.

This ﬁeld selects the operating mode of the Agilent 8922M/S. The modes are:

•Active Cell - this mode allows a call between the mobile phone and the Agilent 8922M/S.

•Test Mode - this mode sets the Agilent 8922M/S to work with a mobile phone running a test mode. This mode allows you to transmit either BCCH only or BCCH and TCH and measures an independent GSM signal.

•CW Generator - this mode sets the Agilent 8922M/S as a signal generator.

2.	Amplitude	This ﬁeld selects what amplitude the Agilent 8922M/S should be transmitting.
	(Base Station)	See Also	Screens: RF Generator/RF Analyzer (RF Generator)

3.	Audio	This ﬁeld displays the audio measurements screen.
