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
NOTE
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).
