Switch on one of Agilent Technologies’ GSM test
sets and you’ll find your mobile finds service
immediately. Now make a call and you’re up and
running; ready to perform all the key transmitter
and receiver measurements. Built-in to every test
set you’ll find . . .
Transmitter tester
Transmitter measurements such
as power versus time, modulation
phase and frequency error, and
burst timing are made using a
fast DSP analyzer. There’s also
an accurate peak power meter
to perform the GSM average Tx
power measurement, taking sam-
ples only during the active part of
the burst.
Receiver tester
Receiver testing is done using an
accurate 0.3 GMSK source. The
wide dynamic range allows for
low-level sensitivity measurements
and high power tests to check for
receiver saturation. Mobile receiver
sensitivity is measured by making
bit-error-rate measurements on
Class Ia, Ib and II bits in either
raw or residual form.
Spectrum analyzer
The optional spectrum analyzer
completes the array of GSM meas-
urements which can be made. It
provides high dynamic range pulse
on/off ratio measurements and
output RF spectrum tests. The
spectrum analyzer also makes an
excellent diagnostic tool for tracing
signals and finding problems.
Toolkit
The full-featured tool-kit includes
a power meter, CW RF synthesiz-
er, audio synthesizer, frequency
vounter, DVM, audio analyzer,
oscilloscope and DSP Analyzer.
These tools can be configured
to measure just about any signal
a GSM phone can produce,
whether on a call or in test-mode.
Base station emulator
The GSM base station emulator
creates a test network to which the
mobile can camp and make calls.
The emulator is capable of causing
a ‘simple camp’ so that receiver
and transmitter functions can be
verified separately. A speech coder
is present to allow functional voice
testing. A variety of basic call pro-
cessing features test the mobile as
if it were in a real network. These
features include hopped traffic
channels, call origination and
termination (both mobile and base
station), hand-overs, channel
assignments, Tx power control
commands and a choice of control
channel configurations.
Automatic software
The optional automatic test soft-
ware is easy to use, fast and
simple to configure. With the
flexibility to allow test sequences
to be created and saved in min-
utes, automatic test software
personalizes the test set for each
part of the incoming inspection
or repair process.
