Testing AMPS Base Stations
Transmitter Data Deviation
Transmitter Data Deviation
This test measures the transmitter’s digital data deviation in the
absence of any other modulating signal.
Prerequisites
The following conditions must be met before testing:
❒ The Test Set is turned on and Preset was pressed to establish a
known instrument state.
❒ You have configured the Test Set for channel tuning (see “Using
Channel Numbers to Set Analyzer and Generator
Frequencies” on page 68).
❒ You have specified any gains or losses in your test system (see
“Compensating for Signal Losses and Gains in the Test
Setup” on page 33).
Test Procedure
1. Turn off the base station’s RF transmitter. A transmitter can be
damaged if it is not transmitting into a specified load, such as an
antenna, power amplifier, duplexer, or power meter with a 50Ω
input impedance.
2. Verify that the transmitter’s rated RF power (or the level out of the
power amplifier if applicable) does not exceed the level indicated
next to the Test Set’s RF IN/OUT connector.
3. Connect the transmitter’s RF output to the Test Set’s RF IN/OUT
connector.
4. Turn off voice modulation to the transmitter.
5. Turn off the SAT to the transmitter.
6. Turn on the data modulation to the transmitter.
7. Press
Shift, RF Anl (AF Anl) to access the AF ANALYZER screen.
