Product Description
The Test Set is a single instrument that combines the features of 22
individual radio test instruments. The Test Set is designed to meet the
communication test needs of both service and manufacturing
environments, and the capability to test land mobile radios, cellular
phones, and various other communications systems.
Test and troubleshooting time is decreased by simplifying standard
measurement tasks and providing the required measurement capability
in a single instrument. Transmitters and receivers are characterized
with single-key RX, TX and duplex tests. Each of these tests displays a
specialized screen that provides access to the necessary controls and
measurement results. Measured results may be displayed as digital
readouts and/or bar graphs. All settings and measurements are easily
accessed and changed using the front-panel knob and keys. If desired,
all settings can be saved in nonvolatile save/recall registers for future
access.
The various ports on the Test Set allow the receiver/transmitter being
tested to be quickly connected. A receiver with 2
µV sensitivity
(typically <1 µV) is available through the ANT IN port, for off-the-air
monitoring of low-level signals. Transmitter measurements of high-
power signals of up to 100 W intermittently (for 10 seconds) or 60 W
continuous can be performed without the use of external attenuators.
