Test Software Overview
The Test Software is contained on two One-Time Programmable (OTP) PC cards. One
card is used for CDMA testing, the other for AMPS testing. Separate manuals are
included for CDMA and AMPS testing.
The Test Software is an Agilent Technologies Instrument BASIC (IBASIC) application
used to set up the Test Set for transmitter measurements on CDMA Base Station
equipment. The Test Software runs on the Test Set internal IBASIC controller to allow
you to perform the following tests:
• Transmit Power Calibration
•Pilot Only Test
•Code Domain Tests
• Automated BBA Test
• Spectrum Analyzer
• Code Domain Analyzer
• CDMA Analyzer
• PN Offset Search
• Insertion Loss Measurement
• Return Loss Measurement
• Emission BW & Spurious
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 Calibration
• PN Offset Search
• Insertion Loss Measurement
• Return Loss Measurement
