Display an FM Carrier Signal (Loopback Test)
Since an AMPS base station is basically a continuous wave (CW) FM
signal, this section will guide you through the process of generating and
displaying an FM signal at a cellular band frequency. It is intended to
make you feel more comfortable with using the Test Set. If you are
ready to begin testing, proceed to Chapter 2.
NOTE In the following operating example, you enter a common frequency for
the RF generator and RF analyzer to create and view the Test Set’s own
signal. However, typical AMPS base station testing uses channel
assignments with different transmit and receive frequencies. This is
explained further in "Using Channel Numbers to Set Analyzer and
Generator Frequencies" on page 68.
