Test Software Overview
The Test Software is contained on two One-Time Programmable (OTP) PC cards. One
card is used for AMPS testing, the other for CDMA testing. Separate manuals are
included for AMPS and CDMA testing.
The Test Software is an Agilent Technologies Instrument BASIC (IBASIC) application
used to set up the Test Set for transmitter measurements on AMPS Base Station
equipment. The Test Software runs on the Test Set internal IBASIC controller to allow
you to perform the following tests:
• Full Site Test (FCC)
•Single Radio Test
• TX Power Adjustment Test
• Spectrum Analyzer Test
•RX Gain Test
• TX Gain Test
• TX –39 dBm Power Test
Using a PC modem or a telnet connection, the Test Software can control the Base Station
equipment by sending commands to the Mobile Switching Center (MSC). This provides
automated testing to reduce time spent at the site and to greatly improve the
repeatability of measurements.
As tests are run, the Test Software compares the measured results with user-defined
specification limits. These test results may be stored on a personal computer (PC)
(ordinarily a laptop PC).
In addition, the following tests are included as calibration and utilities functions.
• TX Antenna Port Cable Calibration
• TX Test Port Cable Calibration
• TX Test Port Coupling Measurements
• Insertion Loss Measurement
• Return Loss Measurement
Also in addition, the following two miscellaneous utilities are included:
• Define Frequency Plan
• Print FCC Title Page
